Modern Features That Redefine a Classic

Key to the V7 New Gen’s appeal are its Marcus Super-J Revolution single-coil pickups and Heritage-3 preamp with sweepable midrange. Roasted maple neck, Edgeless™ rolled fretboard edges, and stainless steel frets provide enduring comfort and accuracy, while lightweight aluminum tuners and Luminlay side dots address practical needs for gigging musicians.

Body and Neck: Resonance Meets Playability

Body and neck construction play a critical role in this model’s tone and playability. North American alder delivers a balanced, resonant foundation, with a bolt-on roasted maple neck for added strength and stability. Rolled fretboard edges support fatigue-free sessions during practice or live gigs.

• Body Material: North American alder — delivers a warm, balanced sound that suits all genres
• Neck: Roasted maple, bolt-on — adds strength and a sleek visual
• Comfort during demanding sessions is enhanced by the ebony fingerboard with Edgeless™ rolled edges.

Fingerboard and Fretting: Comfort and Durability

The fingerboard’s Edgeless™ design eliminates sharp fret ends, while medium stainless steel frets boost note clarity and resist wear, maintaining a professional feel over years of intense play.

• Fingerboard Radius: 241 mm — optimal curve for both fingerstyle and slap
• Frets: 20, medium, stainless steel — long-lasting with a slick feel
• Nut Width: 38 mm — fast, classic J-Bass profile for agile left-hand movement

Electronics and Hardware: Versatility and Control

Electronics define the V7 New Gen’s adaptability. A Heritage-3 preamp with an active/passive push-pull switch and sweepable mids unlocks deep tonal shaping. Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups deliver nuanced articulation, while lightweight tuners and a bone nut keep tuning stable and sustain rich.

• Pickups: Marcus Super-J Revolution single-coils — articulate, dynamic sound with vintage character
• In both stage and studio environments, the Heritage-3 preamp with 3-band EQ (and sweepable mids) empowers you to sculpt your sound precisely.
• Bridge: Marcus Miller Modern-S — steel construction, adjustable string spacing for personal setup
