dave_bass5 Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 There is the usual single coil hum when either pup is on its own, even in active mode. Dead silent when both are on though. Quote
jassbass Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Any one know when the 5ers are back in stock? Thanx Quote

DarkHeart Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Has anyone got an M3 yet? If they did one in white id have had one in a heartbeat! Quote
JAUQO III-X Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 [quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1428855321' post='2745297'] Has anyone got an M3 yet?[/quote] I have a black M3. It has the same pre as the V7 model but with a mahogany body and a roewood fingerboard. Overall it's a very nice bass. Quote
Raslee Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) I just checked Thomann and had amessage that the bass I am after, the white/tort 5 string, will not be avaialble until July 2015 ....however, there was the model I am after as B'stock...so wishful thinking i've oredered that if i haven't missed it already Edited April 12, 2015 by Raslee Quote
dave_bass5 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 There are two long threads on Talkbass about these basses, and quite a few of them came from Thomanns (yes, the Americans had to get them from Europe for a while). A few of these did go back to Thomanns as they had slight issues. Hopefully those weren't put back on sale without the issues sorted out (nothing really major). Quote
Raslee Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 B-Stock 4 stringer possibly?[url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_v7_alder_4_awh_b_stock.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_v7_alder_4_awh_b_stock.htm[/url] Quote

I haven't cancelled my original order yet and I can always send the b-stock back if not up to standard I guess Quote

Your not a fellow reggae player too are you? As I'm always accused of being asleep and behind the times 😄😎 Edited April 13, 2015 by Raslee Quote
jassbass Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Not a reggae player lol Not in stock til mid july argh Quote
Raslee Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Well it looks like i scored that B-stock, we'll see if the B is for bad or bloody good score......en route from Thomann Quote
dieseldalziel Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Here's a little clip of Marcus playing the v7 live.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLCebjPW0cI&feature=share Quote
Raslee Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Well the B-stock 5 string V7 is here, slight mark on top of headstock and a little mark that'll probably wipe off at the rear, apart from that..pristine And...wow - someone wake me up!!! What everyone has positively said and then some i'd say...simply bloody marvelous. Lovely neck, build quality is mind blowing, great low B, low action and no buzz, great intonation.... but most of all the tone palette with that passive & active EQ section is really phenomenal - i can get just about any sound i want...jeez this thing is VERSATILE! All this for £280 smackers...still can't believe it - actually it is butter . Think I may have to put an order in for a 4 string eventually. Other great 5's that I've also liked are Laklands & Yamaha TRB's...and nope I wouldn't swap the Sire for one of them right now...if your thinking of putting an order in then do it...thank this thread later Quote
