badboy1984 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 yeah man I don't think I can buy another bass so if I buy one, one have to go. I'm using my 4 string P/J bass more these days and I needed a 5 string. Make sense to get rid of the jazz for a 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy1984 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 These Marcus Miller bass is getting hot man. I remember seeing Marcus interview about these basses and he said he make sure these bass don't get bad rep because his name is on the bass. I'm sure they are quality bass and sound quality too.

Twincam Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Great review and lovely bass, the only thing that would stop me getting one is the height of the knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyDog Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The knob height is something I'm going to try to address, as is neatening the wiring (judging by the pics, it could do with it). I'm a bit anal like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinB Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Why did I click on this thread? I was perfectly happy with my basses and now you've gone and done this!! White, tort, bound r/w with blocks, side-dots I can actually see, active.... and MrsB's just had her annual bonus. Jeez! p.s.

[/quote] Seriously though, I think that's something that could easily be fixed with affordable replacements. The picture I took of the knob-gap (fnarr) does tend to make the gap look bigger than it actually is. In normal use you don't see it.

Marvin Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The height of the tone and volume controls isn't really an issue. It's not something that shouts out when you're playing the bass. (yeah! I didn't use the word knob...damn, I just did...stupid brain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Just a heads up to those getting these basses, they are long. This might not effect most people but i know it has been a slight inconvenience to some, including me. The bass is longer than my 35" Laklands, and any other bass ive owned. Ive had to get a new gig bag to fit my V7 in, it just wouldn't fit my usual bag. Luckily ive also got a couple of official bags coming from Sire as well soon :-) Edited April 1, 2015 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
