Unique Features Set This Bass Apart

Blending a roasted maple neck with rolled fretboard edges and the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp results in a truly distinctive instrument. Crafted with USA plain enamel coil, the Super-J Revolution pickups deliver a classic jazz sound with extra clarity. A dual-load steel bridge and bone nut enhance tuning stability and resonance, while premium lightweight tuners reduce headstock mass for better balance.

Feel and Comfort — Ultimate Playability

Comfort is paramount for working bassists, and the V7 Vintage Alder 5 New Gen excels thanks to its rolled-edge maple fingerboard and New Gen C-shaped roasted maple neck. These design choices eliminate sharp fret ends and deliver a fast, inviting feel across the board. With a weight of 4.4 kg, this model remains manageable during long gigs, while an ergonomic body contour fits snugly in any playing position.

• Fingerboard Material: Maple or Ebony with Edgeless™ rolled edges — eliminates fatigue and rough edges for smooth movement
• Neck Shape: C-shaped, roasted hard maple — comfortable grip for players of all hand sizes
• Balanced at 4.4 kg, the instrument is equally suited for standing or seated play over extended sessions.

Electronics and Tone — Flexible Professional Sound

Shape your sound for any genre with the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp, providing both active and passive modes. The 18V system offers enormous headroom, letting you push the bass, mids, or highs without unwanted distortion. The 3-band EQ and mid-frequency sweep allow pinpoint tonal sculpting, while the passive circuit guarantees classic J-bass warmth if you lose battery mid-gig.

• Pickups: Marcus Super-J Revolution single-coil set — delivers punch and clear articulation
• With the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp, sculpt any sound from vintage to modern using the sweepable mid control.
• Active/Passive Switch: 2-way mini toggle — ensures instant backup and tonal flexibility

Hardware and Construction — Reliable for Studio and Stage

Stage-ready reliability comes from the Marcus Miller Vintage-S steel bridge, which supports both top-load and string-through setups for customizable feel and sustain. The real bone nut transmits string vibrations cleanly, and premium open-gear tuners keep your pitch stable even during heavy playing.

• Bridge: Marcus Miller Vintage-S (top-load/string-through) — optimized sustain and tuning options
