Beautiful bass, well made, great value
The Sire V9 Gen 2 Marcus is similar to the Sire V7 but just beautifully crafted with a custom fingerboard. It rounded at the edge and the frets are perfectly crafted. The Black/gray wood is so beautiful and the back of the bass shows its natural wood. The Gen 2 is much better than the original Gen 1 (Don't buy the Gen 1). Sounds great for slap and I get that Marcus Miller tone. Plucking is solid and articulate. Playing this bass will reveal your playing flaws and the opportunity to improve. It's a VERY articulate bass. Battery compartment and other attention to detail is worth getting the Gen2. Active/Passive switch is a savior if your two 9V (18 Volt preamp) is getting depleted. Two Jazz pickups, Master Volume stacked over the master tone control sometimes move together. One Knob for pickup pan works very well. Active 18V preamp has wide tone versatility with 3 controls: Bass on bottom of bass controls, Midrange sweep and volume in a stacked knob also can stick and move together, Treble. I keep most of the controls just past the middle "notch". It does take some time to get the tone controls in the sweet spot for your playing style - yes, it is more complex than most basses. Only 21 frets. I prefer 24 for versatility. I find myself occasionally wanting a few more frets and wonder when someone will have some neck extension.
