Miller M2, M5 or M7?!

[JosephMartyn]

I'm thinking of getting a 5 string.

 

The Sire Miller M range look awesome!

 

Any recommendations or advice? Is it worth spending more for the M5 ir M7?!

I had a 4 string M5 and it was lovely with loads of tonal options. Only moved it on as the shape was too different for me if that makes sense?

But well built and not too heavy.

I was going to sell on my M2 (4 string teal blue with maple board) but then realised it had one of the nicest neck profiles I've ever played. The neck also has a really luxury feeling satin finish on it. As well as this, the action on my M2 is the lowest of all my basses. 

Tonally the humbuckers on the M2 are a bit dark sounding and it could do with a bit more sizzle on the treble. My V3s were worlds apart from the M2 in this respect. Must be single coils vs humbuckers as they both use the same Sire Heritage preamp. 

Definitely think that the coil options via the switches on the higher end models would be a really good thing to have. 

For all that I'm really fond of my M2. For me the neck is way,way above its price point.

I have an M2 and it's a superb bass, the neck is a thing of beauty to play with the rolled edge fret board, great value for money. The only problem I had with the bass was a wire becoming loose that connected up the battery pack but a bit of soldering sorted that !!
