Sire Marcus Miller V7-5 2nd Generation Alder Bright Metallic Red

I did a lot of research before buying this bass as I couldn’t try one locally before buying. The reviews are accurate this is a very well finished quality bass, which looks great and plays very well. The sound/tone in passive mode is fantastic- warm full with as much Jazz bass bite as you want to apply, in active mode the tonal variations are endless but also very useable - the active controls will take a bit of getting used too ( there is just so much variation possible) however I am sure I am going to find some cracking sounds within.
This is a heavy bass ( much heavier than my Fender jazz) but it sounds richer and fuller than my FJ so I can live with the extra weight.
Action was way too high on delivery but adjusted down to a good height easily and I have not needed to touch the true rod at all.
Great quality strings supplied on the bass which adds to a great experience
