Sire Marcus Miller V7 Swamp Ash Reissue 5-String Bass Guitar
The legend is back. After a brief hiatus due to a global shortage of its key ingredient, the fan-favorite Sire Marcus Miller V7 Swamp Ash is re-emerging for a triumphant return. For bassists seeking that unmistakable clear, punchy low-end that only swamp ash can provide, this reissue isn’t just an instrument; it's the answer. Combining premium craftsmanship with the versatile electronics that put Sire on the map, the V7 is ready to lay down the foundation for any genre you throw at it.
This bass is more than a re-release — it’s a second chance to own a piece of modern bass history. The V7 Swamp Ash reissue brings back the flagship model that players fell in love with, blending classic feel with powerful, contemporary tonal shaping. From its premium wood selection to its super-versatile preamp, every detail is engineered for the discerning bassist who refuses to compromise on tone or playability.
Total Tonal Control
The heart of the V7 lies in its powerful and incredibly flexible electronics, giving you complete command over your sound.
Marcus Super-J Revolution Pickups: This signature Jazz Bass pickup set is designed with ‘60s pickup spacing and wound with USA plain enamel coil. The result is a higher-resolution, clearer sound that captures every nuance of your playing, from a soft touch to an aggressive slap. It delivers that vintage J-Bass growl with modern clarity.
Marcus Heritage-3 Preamp: This is where the magic really happens. The 3-band EQ gives you surgical control over your tone, with dedicated knobs for treble, bass, and a sweepable mid-frequency control. This allows you to dial in your perfect sound for any room or mix, from warm, dubby lows to bright, cutting highs.
Active/Passive Switching: Need modern punch or vintage warmth? A simple flick of a switch lets you move between active and passive modes. The passive mode delivers classic, organic tones, while the active mode kicks in the Heritage-3 preamp for a powerful, sculpted sound.
Playability That Begs to Be Played
A great tone is nothing without great feel, and the V7 Swamp Ash delivers a playing experience that feels instantly familiar and comfortable.
Swamp Ash Body: Chosen for its lightweight properties and tonal character, the swamp ash body provides a resonant foundation with a tight low-end, scooped mids, and crisp, articulate highs. It’s the perfect canvas for the versatile electronics.
Hard Maple C-Shape Neck: The satin-finished hard maple neck offers a smooth, fast-playing feel. The comfortable "C" profile strikes a perfect balance, feeling substantial enough for solid grooving yet slim enough for intricate passages up and down the neck.
Edgeless Hard Maple Fretboard: Sire's signature rolled fretboard edges provide a supremely comfortable playing experience, simulating the broken-in feel of a vintage instrument you’ve played for years.
Exceptional Playability
The Sire Marcus Miller V7 Swamp Ash Reissue is a testament to what happens when player-centric design meets meticulous construction. It's an instrument built to inspire, offering the sound, feel, and versatility needed to cover any musical situation with confidence and style.
Sire Marcus Miller V7 Swamp Ash Reissue 5-String Bass Features:
Swamp Ash body for a lightweight feel and punchy, articulate tone
Hard Maple neck with a comfortable C-Shape profile
Edgeless™ Hard Maple Fretboard for a smooth, broken-in playing feel
Marcus Super-J Revolution pickup set with USA plain enamel coil for vintage tone with high resolution
Marcus Heritage-3 preamp with 3-band EQ and sweepable midrange control
Active/Passive toggle switch for a wide range of tonal options
Classic '60s pickup spacing for authentic Jazz Bass growl
You bet—its silky, edgeless neck feels friendly from note one, so nothing about the bass fights your fingers. That means less time nursing sore hands and more time chasing your first groove.
Pick the 4-string for lean, classic simplicity that keeps early practice stress-free. Choose the 5-string if you want that deep low-B waiting in the wings for heavier or modern tunes.
It leans hard into the Jazz Bass playbook—offset body, familiar J-style feel, that signature growl—yet layers on an active preamp for extra tonal punch. All that, at a price that keeps your wallet whistling instead of weeping.
Think of it as having two distinct sonic personalities at your fingertips. Flip to passive for that sweet, velvety warmth—pure, old-school Motown magic. Flick it to active to engage a powerhouse 18V preamp that lets you sculpt, slice, and slam your tone right through any mix.
It carries a solid, satisfying heft that keeps you grounded on stage. Fortunately, Sire balances the body beautifully—toss on a wide, padded strap, and your back will easily survive those marathon gigs.
