Essential Information About the V5 Alder-5 "Tide Pool" Bass

  • True passive Jazz Bass spirit with Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickup set and VVT (volume/volume/tone) control.
  • Remarkable playing comfort thanks to the roasted maple neck and rounded fret edges.
  • Classic woods: North American alder body, maple fingerboard for precise attack and well-defined lows.
  • Vintage look enhanced by the "Tide Pool" finish, 3-ply black pickguard, and chrome hardware.

A Modern Vision of a Vintage Icon

The V5 Alder-5 embraces the codes of historic "Jazz type" basses while incorporating current lutherie choices. The roasting of the maple stabilizes the neck and gives it a well-played look that is highly appreciated. Within the V5 range, this 5-string model offers a decidedly retro and passive experience?faithful, simple, and effective.

For Whom and Which Styles?

Ideal for ambitious beginners to intermediate players as well as seasoned stage performers, this 5-string covers jazz, funk, soul, pop, and rock. The low string expands the palette for punchy slap, deep soulful lines, or modern grooves requiring clear lows.

The Sound

The alder + maple combination delivers singing mids, tight lows, and precise highs. The two Marcus Vintage-J single-coil pickups provide the classic "Jazz" tone: neck pickup for a warm, woody sound; bridge pickup for an articulate bite. The passive VVT wiring offers a wide palette, from warm walking bass tones to popping sounds, while maintaining excellent definition of the 5th string and natural sustain thanks to the well-anchored vintage bridge.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

- Set of 5-string long scale 34" bass strings (e.g., 45?130) roundwound for versatility or flatwound for a more vintage feel.
- Jazz Bass 5-string gig bag/case with neck protection.
- Wide strap (5 to 8 cm) in leather or neoprene for comfort during long sessions.
- Stable bass stand (A-frame type or tripod with yoke).
