Mickyk Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 And dropped off a Sire Marcus Miller v7 version 2 vintage jazz.So far i'm lovin it,really nice neck and some nice sounds coming out. The truss rod needed a tweek as the strings were sat a little high for my liking sorted that out so it's just about right for me. Can't understand sire not providing an instruction booklet of some sort,but it's all available online i suppose so no real set back. Here's me hoping this relationship will develop into some meaningful love affair,and i'm sure it will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be much later mate ,all those knobs and things will take some digesting.Ahh the burnt Orange one is that this colour,if so i was after one and was told that they hadn't arrived on these shores as yet,Anyway that Orange one is a dream to behold i think.

scalpy Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The preamp on my ASAT has many options but is really easy to understand, this will be a bit more grown up. I’ve been after a 5 string that wouldn’t break the bank for pit work (I can look after my instruments but others can’t) and this came up in BD’s Facebook feed last night- just knew I had to pull the trigger immediately at the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 By the way, don’t mean to hijack your thread but it’s nice to know someone else is as excited about a V7 as I am! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest assured, it’s a lot simpler than it initially looks. It takes a bit of getting used to when you want to fine-tune sounds “in the heat of battle”, but once you familiarize yourself it’s really pretty OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyk Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Only thing i may change is the bridge,other than that it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalpy Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 The singers in my band have decided because my Sire is cheap, shiny, orange and is going to get beaten it should be called Shazza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingsta Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Congrats! I've had my Gen1 v7 vintage 5 for a couple of weeks now and very happy. It needs a setup, but I've got a gotoh replacement bridge on the way, so will sort it out after that's been fitted. That one in burnt orange looks awesome too.

I have a P7 version 2 and the neck is really comfy. You should watch Marcus M`s YT clip he did at the Chicago music exchange (if I remember right) he explains the eq in particular the mids control which is the bit that had me a bit confused at first. Re the bridge. I kept the base plate but changed the barrel`s for Wilkinson brass ones and stuck on a set of Schaller tuners.
