SOLD - Sire V7 Marcus Miller 5 String £200 Newcastle upon Tyne

[spacecowboy]

Fabulous Jazz bass that just doesn't see any playing time anymore. Those of you who have played these basses know how good they are and those of you who want to try one here's a great example for £200! 

 

This is the Antique White Alder first generation model,  I've had it since new and it has seen alot of playing time. Comes with a nearly new set of Bass Boomers strings on it and a basic Thomann gig bag.

I have upgraded the knobs from the black plastic ones to chrome ones that really compliment the look. 
 

Bass is £200 collected from Newcastle Upon Tyne or can be posted fully insured but expect that to be around £30-£40

 

 

Loads of life in the frets!

 

As for dings on the bass I have tried to show these as best I can, there is nothing major at all nothing more than paint deep but It's best to try and show any marks there are as I like to know what I'm buying; 

 

 

Cracks in the lacquer around the bridge pickup, no idea what has caused this but it's only the top lacquer coat deep. 

 

 

Paint chips around the neck plate

 

 

Small area of rash on the back of the bass (if you can see it! ) 

 

 

Small chip near the control plate

 

Apart from that the neck is solid, action is great, bass sounds fantastic and it's a lot of fun to play! 

 

Thanks,

Very good price and IMO the best colour combo on these!

I just sold a 4 string version of this and very tempted to buy this... 

The chrome knobs really improve the look!

Ridiculous value for money.  I once bought a v1 Sire 5 for the same money but it wasn't as nice as this and then I thought I had a bargain. GLWTS.
