Clear attack from swamp ash
The swamp ash body gives this V7 a quick attack, clear note separation, and a stronger upper-mid presence. That definition helps each note speak clearly, whether you’re playing busy bass lines or leaving more space between notes. You still get the familiar response associated with its J-style design, so the instrument combines recognisable playing characteristics with the tonal qualities of swamp ash. Its natural finish also keeps the body material central to the bass’s appearance, complemented by black three-ply pickguard, black block inlays, and chrome hardware.
Traditional feel with smoother edges
A 34" scale hard maple neck and matching hard maple fingerboard give you a familiar foundation for four-string playing. The 7.25" fingerboard radius and 20 small 2.0mm frets are designed around a traditional feel, while Sire’s Edgeless rolled fingerboard edges add a subtle ergonomic refinement. This helps the edges sit more comfortably against your hand as you move around the neck. A 38mm bone nut and New Gen C-shaped neck profile complete the playing setup, with a four-bolt steel plate securing the neck to the body.
Shape your sound your way
Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups give the V7 its vintage-voiced electronic foundation, while the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp expands the available control. Separate treble, middle, and bass controls let you adjust key areas of your tone directly on the instrument. You also have volume, tone, and pickup blender controls for balancing the two pickups and refining their response. And when you want passive operation, the push/pull bass control lets you switch modes — giving you another practical option without changing instruments or adding extra equipment.
Hardware built around familiar performance
The Marcus Miller Vintage-S bridge uses 20mm string spacing, giving each string a consistent amount of room across the bridge. At the headstock, premium lightweight open-gear tuners provide the traditional open design while keeping the hardware weight down. The chrome finish ties the bridge and tuning hardware together visually, contrasting with the black J-bass-style control knobs and three-ply pickguard. Combined with the natural swamp ash body, these details give the V7 a recognisable J-style appearance while supporting the balanced, consistent design of the New Gen instrument.
