What sets the V7 Vintage apart is that it is innovatively set up to sound like the original 70's bass preferred by Marcus Miller. Its construction makes it bring out much more plush characteristics, especially from the formvar pickup known to be "vintage correct". Its neck comes with custom Rolled Fretboard Edges that make a huge difference in the overall feel. Combined with the hardware and electronics consist of Marcus' signature Vintage-J Revolution pickup set, Marcus Miller Heritage-3 preamp and the Marcus Vintage-S bridge. Rolled Fretboard Edges. The select wood, either Swamp Ash, and North American Alder and the 1-piece hard maple neck make the best combination to preserve the classic quality sound with a more natural vibration.
