Marcus Miller P7 Alder is a 4-string electric bass, which Sire
has developed in collaboration with the American bassist and
composer Marcus Miller.
Most of us know Marcus Miller as bassist for Miles Davis, Aretha
Franklin, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon, David Sanborn and George
Benson, or as a composer for, among others, Jay-Z, but what many
do not immediately know that Marcus Miller has also been a
driving force in the development and production of electric
basses, and in this connection he has been used by many reputable
manufacturers such as Fender and Sadowsky. now, he has merged
with Sire to develop and produce a whole new range of electric
basses, which has received an impressive reception of bassists
and critics.
The Sire Marcus Miller P7 bass, here in the Antique White
edition, is equipped with newly designed Marcus Miller SIRE
Bridge, specially developed to Marcus Miller’s request. This
bridge has the characteristics of vintage jazz bass with heavy
mass saddle. This combination produces a rich and punchy sound.
New Marcus Miller Bridge is a string-thru body bridge mechanism
that allows for more tighter, accurate and stable tone.Â
Nut is one of the most important parts of the guitar that
influences the performance, playability, and tone of the
instrument. Although nut is more costly and harder to work
with, Sire has chosen not to compromise on this point and has
fitted the Marcus Miller P7 with a Nut.
The neck is made with one piece Canadian le, which, through
its hardness and strength, minimizes movement in the neck and
provides a stable and good playing experience, and together with
the Rosewood fingerboard, the neck gives the bass a persistent
tone and a round and warm sound.
The body is made of North American alder which is a high quality
tone wood, normally only used in much more expensive models.
Alder is known for its strong clear full-bodied sound, beefy mids
and excellent lows that is perfect for the traditional jazz bass
sound.
The Marcus Super Precision Pick up Set is made with
US-manufactured coil. In addition to the Fiber Bobbin and Alnico
5 magnets, this pick up is also made with US manufactured coil
magnet wires.
The pickup's is ed side by side and wired to Sire's Marcus
Heritage 3 preamplifier. The use of 2 pcs. 9V batteries enable
the bass player to get a strong and powerful signal without the
sound being pressed or unnatural. With a built-in 3-band EQ with
bass, mid-tone and tweeter tone control, you get full control
over your tone range, allowing you to customize bass sound for
any music style. The mid-tone control has built-in sweep, so you
can decide where in the mid-range area (200 Hz to 1 kHz) the
mid-range check should take place.
With this pickup and wiring technique, your're able to create
both the special tone from the precision bass along with vintage
sound from the jazz bass. Â
As one of the oldest jazz bass types and one of the oldest
styles, the Precision Bass Type features a vibrant and robust
sound.
