Sire Marcus Miller V7 Swamp Ash Reissue 4 String Electric Bass, Tobacco Burst Satin

Sire Marcus Miller V7 Swamp Ash Reissue 4 String Electric Bass, Tobacco Burst Satin

The Return of a Swamp Ash Stunner

Originally one of Sire’s most sought-after basses, the ash-bodied Marcus Miller V7 was discontinued in 2021 due to the sparsity of swamp ash. Thankfully, it was only a temporary setback, as the model now triumphantly returns as the Sire Marcus Miller V7 Reissue! Premium swamp ash with a striking poplar burl veneer forms the foundation of this 4-string, hosting a pair of Marcus Super-J Revolution single-coils and a Marcus Miller Heritage-3 preamp system, unleashing a clear, bright, and full-bodied array of J-style tones to explore. Bassists of all styles and backgrounds will surely benefit from the Marcus Miller V7 Reissue’s comfortable “C”-shaped neck, comprised of a hard maple neck and matching hard maple fingerboard. You also get a sustain-enhancing Marcus Heavymass II bridge and premium open-gear tuning machines. Ready to resume its role as a heavyweight J-style workhorse, the Marcus Miller V7 Reissue delivers big on effortless performance, sleek ’70s-inspired style, and sweeping tonal flexibility.

A “reissue” of the classic Marcus Miller V7
When it comes to the bold and brilliant sound of ’70s J-style basses, swamp ash arguably reigns supreme for its bell-like highs and sharply defined lows. Unfortunately, quality swamp ash is getting harder and harder to source — a fact that ultimately led to the original Marcus Miller V7 Swamp Ash’s discontinuation back in 2021. Luckily for bassists everywhere, Sire’s acquisition of a superb stash of swamp ash has led to the return of the V7 in the Marcus Miller V7 Swamp Ash Reissue, a true modern classic that Sweetwater’s Sire fanatics can only hope sticks around for the long haul!
