Sire V3N 5 Marcus Miller New Gen 5-string active bass guitar tobacco sunburst

Entry-level model with active 2-band preamp

The Sire Marcus Miller V3 New Gen is the most accessible model in the Marcus Miller line, and at the same time a fully-fledged bass. The mahogany body provides a warm, round fundamental tone with a solid low end — more compact than alder, which helps the bass sit well in a band.

Rosewood fingerboard with Edgeless™ edges

The Canadian hard maple neck has a C-profile and a rosewood fingerboard with Edgeless™ rolled edges. With a 34-inch scale length, a 9.5-inch radius, and 2.4 mm medium frets, the bass is comfortable for both beginners and advanced players.

Two-band EQ with passive mode

The Marcus Standard J-Revolution pickups run through a Sire Standard 2-band preamp. With volume/tone, blender, treble, and bass, you can quickly dial in what you need without getting lost in the possibilities. The bass control switches to passive with push-pull.
