The V5 Alder-5 follows the lineage of classic "Jazz" basses: sleek shape, passive electronics, and retro-style hardware. The torrefaction process of the maple stabilizes the neck, gives it a uniform aged appearance, and improves the feel under the fingers. The result: a 5-string that captures the aesthetics and responsiveness of historic instruments while remaining modern in playability.
Ideal for the motivated beginner to the intermediate/advanced player seeking a reliable 5-string, it excels in funk, soul, R&B, pop, and jazz, while holding its own perfectly in rock or studio contexts. The C-shaped neck profile and 5-string spacing offer quick handling, including for slap and pick lines.
The two single-coil Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups deliver the typical "J" tone: precise attack, singing mids, and airy highs. In passive mode, the Volume (neck) / Volume (bridge) + Tone controls allow blending the pickups to switch from a round groove (neck pickup) to a more biting and articulate sound (bridge pickup). The alder body provides spectral balance and projection, while the torrefied maple enhances definition and natural sustain. An expressive, responsive instrument that sits easily in a mix.
Plan for a 5-string long scale 34" string set (type 45?130), a Jazz Bass 5-string style gig bag or case, a wide strap for comfort, and a clip-on tuner. A good quality 1/4" straight cable will complete a reliable setup for stage and rehearsal.
