Born from collaboration with Marcus Miller, the V7 established Sire?s philosophy: serious materials, exemplary playability, and versatile electronics at a controlled price. This "Alder-4 FL" version applies the winning alder body formula to fretless playing, delivering the singing tone prized in jazz, soul, and fusion.
Designed for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking an accessible and reliable fretless, the V7 FL excels in jazz, soul, R&B, pop, and fusion. In passive mode, it delivers a classic Jazz Bass tone; in active mode, it gains presence for modern contexts or direct recording.
The alder + maple combination provides clarity, attack, and projection?ideal for a singing mwah without losing low-end. The Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups offer precise and dynamic response; their signature spacing highlights the bridge pickup for singing lines and the neck pickup for warmth.
The 3-band EQ (bass, mid with variable frequency, treble) allows fine-tuning of the foundation or presence, while the active/passive mini-switch ensures true stage redundancy. The Marcus Miller Modern-S bridge stabilizes intonation and promotes sustain, essential on a fretless.
