I own the Sire V7 1st generation, with his signature on the back. And I'm happy with it. I love the way Marcus Miller plays and his personality. No matter which bass he plays, it always sounds good. The key is "Skills" not how expensive the instruments are.

I Bought my "FIRST" Sire Marcus Miller bass, and absolutely love it! I also own the Fender, Marcus Miller jazz bass. The " Sire , is a 5 string" the Fender " MM" is a 4 string. I also own a Ivory, white & gold, Musician Stingray 5, and an upright. The Sire, is an absolute blast to play, and the pre-amp, is straight " Sick ". The price! Is unbelievable. Thank you, Marcus. I'm 68, and have been playing, since 14 yrs old. Peace, always be with you.

Can confirm. Bought one of the first 5 strings they made. Fantastic instrument for the money. I'll never get rid of mine. I own basses that literally cost 3 to 4 times more than the Sire and the Sire sounds just as good. Plan on buying another by the end of summer.

I had the chance to meet Marcus Miller twice, before and after a concert, once at the Seine Musicale in Paris and once at the Blue Note in New York. How not to be surprised by the fact that this great artist with his worldwide fame and his talent can remain so accessible, attentive and coupled with great kindness? Certainly a great lesson to give to artists whose emerging success goes to their heads ! My choice fell on the Sire U5 short scale, an excellent choice for learning the bass when you are a complete beginner !

Wow, his passion is contagious. And I'm so glad he partnered with Sire, gotta be a tough move to move away from Fender in order to pursue something like this. I already admired him as a musician, but now he definitely got my respect as a person,

Purchased the V7 2nd generation 4 days ago. OMG!! I knew it was special taking it out the box. It just felt different from my other 2 basses. Only been playing for almost 2 years so this was my first venture to what I consider an upscale bass (for my budget) so I am not a pro bassist to say the least but upon playing the V7 for the first time even I, a novice at playing bass, could tell the difference in sound quality from my other basses which I will not name. The difference was so pronounced, I have made it my mission to upgrade my other 2 basses. The V7 has a great sound and I get it, the sound of a bass is 99 percent skill and technique but upon hearing the sound of the V7, it was so inspiring to me that it makes me want to practice my skills and techniques 24/7. What a bass. I was introduced to Marcus Miller through the "Never Too Much" Luther Vandross LP dropped back in the 70's. After finding out he was also doing his own thing "Tales" "M" "The Ozell Tapes" were added to my collection. Fantastic bass player. The man is one of the greatest of all times if not the greatest. I definently plan to go see him the next time is in the Baltimore, Washington DC, area. Keep on inspiring bass players and wannabe players all over the world Mr. MM.

Thanks Marcus! Just picked up.a V3 today, I wasn't even intending to get one as I dont care for signature/artist basses or active controls, but its an incredible bass for the money. Once I figured out what all the knobs did, I couldn't believe the variety of tones and the preamp is killer. The pickups are excellent as well. Thin body, decent weight, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges (one of the nicest and most comfortable necks Ive ever played) bone nut, steel bridge...this thing is a steal for $399. Thats only $100 more than the junk Squier Affinity basses sell for. The V3 is better than any MIM Fender Ive owned or played and darn close to American made Fenders that sell for 4 times as much. I have zero complaints, awesome bass.

I was one the lucky ones to buy this bass at $299 when they first came out I'm a funk bass player love funk music and I must admit I didn't really know who Marcus Miller was yea I know what ? I have seen his basses in the music stores but never looked him up cause I wasn't paying that much for a bass so what was the point. Well I always wanted a Fender Jazz and I read the Bass Player reviews of this bass and it was off the chain I was like well for 299 i would gave it a shot so it took like 3 months to get the bass something about they make them by hand one at a time yea yea where is my bass well when it came i plugged it up right out the box and was blown away 5 minutes later I was online ordering a 5 string it took 2 months but the wait was well worth it. All my bass playing friends would come over play them an go you payed $299 AN $399 FOR THESE get the Hell out of here So long story short all my friends have them including my father in law I got my eye on a M5 next.

I purchased my " MM" Sire, at " Guitar Center" Anderson lane store, here, in Austin Texas. Got it at a good price, and below a grand. It, also came with a few scratches! Although nothing, that can't be fixed. Sire employees, that ship these basses, " NEED TO DO BETTER". Even though I didn't order mine, I'm looking out, for those, that " DO ". How'd you( shipper/ employee) like to get something, you've wanted, and open up the box, and it's screwed up? Yeah! That part!

Because that's his ultimate bass. Keep in mind, it's not just a Fender, it's Marcus Miller's old "special" Fender, it's his "baby". However, he does play Sire basses on stage as well and that's not a rarity. It's not a secret that he likes the Sires as well, he's fine with playing those on-stage.
