The Marcus Miller V5 follows the lineage of classic "Jazz" basses, focusing on fully passive electronics and luthiery choices faithful to the golden era of the style. The roasted maple neck provides the stability and feel of a matured instrument, while the "Marcus Miller Jazz" body retains the offset ergonomics prized both on stage and in the studio.
Versatile and intuitive, the V5 suits ambitious beginners as well as intermediate/advanced players seeking an effective tool without a preamp. It excels in funk, jazz, soul, pop, and rock, where an articulated, dynamic, and precise sound is desired, with the ability to manually blend each pickup.
The pair of single-coil Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups delivers a clear and punchy tone, with that characteristic "growl" at the bridge and a woody roundness at the neck. The alder body adds coherence in the midrange, while the roasted maple brings attack and a silky top end. The V/V/T wiring (two independent volumes + master tone) allows fine blending of positions to switch from a warm walking tone to a snapping slap, supported by the Vintage-S bridge which promotes sustain.
Choose long scale bass strings suited to the V5?s scale length: common gauges 45-105 (4 strings) or 45-130 (5 strings). A Jazz Bass-shaped gig bag or case will provide optimal protection for the offset body. Add a sturdy adjustable strap to balance the instrument during extended sets.
