JohnDaBass Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Yup, these add to an already extensive Sire Marcus Miller. The range seems to offer something for every bass player at price points to meet all pockets. I absolutely love the roasted hard rock maple necks & fretboards. The V5 passive appears to be a workhorse bass really appeals to me 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbiscuits Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Wow - loving that passive jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Apparently it'll be available in Tobacco Sunburst as well. The neck looks great. I'd buy one...if I could justify it (I currently have no plans to return to bands etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 So it's a 3 month wait for a Burgundy V7 or do I go with a Natural V5. I've heard good things about things about the Active Preamp but the roasted neck is a big draw....hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsaw69 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Having had a v5 a few weeks, I can confirm it's a killer. Great array of vintage tones, not too heavy, looks awesome. Edited October 25, 2020 by Dsaw69 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Have you had a Sire before? Really struggling to choose between the V5 and the V7 Also - we need pics @Dsaw69😁 Edited October 25, 2020 by BassApprentice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can go wrong with any, but I prefer passive basses, so went v5. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohpnyn Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 After one of these in fretless but can't seem to find them anywhere! Has anyone spotted any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to wait awhile for the fretless version to appear. I emailed Sire this week and they said there is a huge demand for the new V5 versions and a huge backlog of orders. I also contacted Thomann as I was interested in P5 4 string and they don't expect to have it in stock until August. However, Thomann are showing the fretted j-bass in stock within the next 2 - 5 days: https://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_v5_alder_4_nt.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I like the simplicity of passive basses and the roasted maple neck looks amazing. I can't decide... I will find having a pre very useful but being shallow I just love the look of the V5.....

I don’t want a pre and like the idea of a roasted neck but I prefer the looks of the black/ maple V7 vintage. Hopefully they’ll add more options next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
