Sire Marcus Miller V5R 4 String LH Rosewood Left Handed Electric Bass, Mild Green

A Premium 4-string at an Intermediate Price

The Sire Marcus Miller V5R 4-string bass guitar sports a jazzy essence that’s directly inspired by Marcus’ bass of choice, only updated and elevated with a host of modern features! A traditional offset-waist alder body forms the core of this 4-string’s classic style, and it's loaded with a pair of Marcus Vintage Fat-J Revolution pickups for a slightly modernized take on a classic low-frequency single-coil. Hunting after a high-performance bass? The neck’s roasted maple construction ensures that it says straight as an arrow, while the comfortable “C”-shape neck and rolled edges on the rosewood fingerboard allow for effortless gliding up and down the neck. Finally, the Marcus Miller Vintage-S tailpiece and Premium Open-gear tuners outfit the V5R with professional-level reliability that defies its intermediate price! Rosewood on top of maple: it’s one of the most tried-and-true tonewood recipes in the book for a reason! The Marcus Miller V5R puts this pairing to good use with the equally ubiquitous “C” neck profile — a pleasantly middle-of-the-road shape the Sweetwater bassists find is a smart choice for genre- and style-hopping musicians. 

Pro-level hardware
Ask any bassist and they’ll be quick to tell you that a bass is only as good as its hardware, especially if you’re looking to take it out to a gig! Marcus Miller must certainly agree, considering his collaboration with Sire on the V5R has resulted in a modestly priced bass with incredibly solid hardware, ensuring your bass remains reliable, song after song. The Sire Marcus Miller Vintage-S bridge is the key to the V5R’s stability, providing excellent string-to-body contact for enhanced sustain. On the other side of the instrument, a set of Sire’s Premium Open-gear tuners keeps your tuning steady, and the true bone nut tops it off with improved natural resonance. Sire’s Marcus Vintage Fat-J Revolution pickups are, unsurprisingly, a revolution in the world of low-frequency pickup design, providing the best tonal bits of the vintage and modern worlds. Just like the pickups in Marcus’ own bass, these pickups utilize a ’70s-style pickup spacing that’s closer to the bridge, resulting in a punchier, treblier tone. From rock to funk to jazz and back again, Marcus Vintage Fat-J Revolution pickups are as versatile as the player that inspired them!
