Sire Marcus Miller V7 2nd generation 5-string full review
Hi there!
Here´s my review of the lovely Sire V7 2nd gen 5-string.
The low B just kills. Watch me, playing different styles of music with different setups on this bass.
Signal chain and technical info can be found at the end of this video.

I absolutely love my V7. The only issue I had with it was neck dive. Replaced the stock tuning heads with a set of Gotoh GB 528s and there is no longer an issue.
I have the P7. and that battery cover is a pain. I've some small neodymium rod magnets, the same lenths as the screw holes, so with a little expansion they should fin in. going to make a .5mm plate that fit's the hole and then with back it with a piece a wood or carbon fibre, Or maybe the original cover with faux screw heads. A guitar pick should be enough to open it.
Is this bass balanced? My current one has neck dive problems and it's so annoying. I'm searching for a bass that is well balanced, especially when I'm playing standing up
My Sire V75 weighed slightly over 11 lbs which is a bit heavy. It is a well made bass and good sounding. Other problems-during a live gig it was difficult to change settings on the too many knobs and the slightest move on knobs changed sounds a lot. My band does not permit making noise between songs and I greatly missed the 5 way Strat style pickup selector like on my Stingray 5 HH where I did not have to fiddle with knobs at all. The other thing I hated about it was the Jazz Bass Hum! I have long played Stingrays and P Basses which do not hum and I got tired of this bass. The P7 probably would have been a better choice. Liked your review-nice work. The V7 sure is pretty and yours is just gorgeous. Well worth the $.
Michael I am considering buying a bass, the two different basses Im deciding between is this V7 or a Squier classic vibe. The V7 is $300 more expensive. I am wondering if you think I am better off with the Sire?
Great sound ! Is this the regular V7 or the vintage version ?
Really nice playstyle, thx for the video ????
How does this bass compare to Fender player series jazz basses? Specifically in reggae context.
Very informative, good presentation and great playing. Really close to pulling the trigger on the 4 string version of this in black haha. Thank you for taking the time to review it.
Great review and some badass slapping. Much respect????????
Id only buy one of these if i couldn't afford a Real Fender jazz bass.
Just bought a V7 5 and cant wait. My dingwall has the magnetic battery cover. Its great
Hi Marcus, first of all, thanks for your videos from which I get so much information, and man, your playing is…just perfect to my ears and very inspiring. I have a quick question : which model would you favor between this one and a Squier vintage mod V?
Hearing and feeling (this V7 5 string and) how it sits in different type of mixes is really next level, thanks Michael!
Hey Micheal, I just bought this bass because i wanted to start playing 5 strings. I have to say, the D string sounds really thin compared to a fender jazz. It lacks a bit off character… Any tips on how i can improve ?
Such an excellent review! Unfortunately, my recently purchased V5 has issues with how the tuners have been installed and is being returned, which is a shame as I love it ????
However, a swamp ash V7 in white (the swamp ash grain looks insane!) has just come up for sale near me and I'm sorely tempted on the back of your review.
Thank you for such a great demo of the tonal range.
Greatly reviewing of Sire 2nd generation. Thank you for this video????????
I just bought one of these. Great for the money! The only negative was that the frets were really rough and will need a dress. Also, the knobs are a bit cheap and might break. Not major issues.
Did you get the chance to try a V8, I have one that should arrive next week! I can't wait!
Absolutely Awesome! I tip my hat and have subscribed.
How to make marcus tone with the eq?
I know I’m late to seeing this but I appreciate the video you made here, I’ve been diving deep into wanting a J in my life and torn between one of these and a fender ultra this seems like the smarter choice but there’s the part of me that wants to be on stage with a known name on my bass like “Fender” and that’s probably just shallow of me, to me there’s a little pride thing in me I guess about that
