Sire Marcus Miller V5 (4 string) Jazz Bass (Ver. 2) £280 shipped UK - *SOLD* £280 Lymington and West London

[Studio GC]

Impulse purchase 6 weeks ago at Andertons. Went in for the P5 active but fell in love with the roasted maple on this neck. Realized I really would like to have the P5 active, so off this goes to a good home. It's been used for about an hour, so as new with stickers and hang tags never removed. Original strings (which are quite nice d'Addario strings), pickup cover and tools. 

 

Happy to post within UK or maybe can meet West London or on the coast between Lymington and London?

 

Weight: 8.8 lbs.

 

Here is the description and specs:

 

New features

The two main focuses of version 2 have been on improving the bass tone and the feel of the neck. Marcus Miller worked alongside Sire to redesign the pickups with stronger magnets and coils. They deliver even more clarity and dish out a deeper quality tone than before.

A matte finish replaces the sticky gloss coat for a much smoother feel. The neck radius has also been flattened to a much more contemporary 9.5 inches. Alder body models also boast a sleek new roasted maple fretboard in place of rosewood.

Construction

Sire specialise in roasted maple necks. This advanced baking process rids the wood of imperfections and leaves it with a much darker, luxurious tint. The rolled edge fretboards also come as standard and give the V5 the touch of a high-end instrument.

Sound

J-style basses are ultra flexible in their usage and the V5 is no exception. Its Marcus Vintage-J Revolution set produces incredibly pronounced tones great for both fingerpicking and slapping. Legendary player Marcus Miller knows more than most about what makes a great bass tone, so you can trust his judgement here!
