It's a bass that looks, sounds, and responds like a classic, while benefiting from subtle updates that make it more comfortable, balanced, and consistent for today's players.
Edgeless For Your Comfort
The fretboard edges of this guitar are meticulously rolled and smoothened to give you an upgraded neck feel and enhance your overall playing experience.
Vintage-Correct Neck Geometry With New Gen Playability
Built with a New Gen C-shape neck, the V7 Vintage New Gen pairs a 7.25″ vintage fingerboard radius with 2.0 mm small fretwire for an authentic, old-school playing feel. The Edgeless™ feature add comfort, while the optional roasted Maple neck improves stability and long-term reliability without changing the classic character.
Vintage-Voiced Electronics With Simplified Signal Path
The V7 Vintage New Gen is equipped with the Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups with '70s pickup spacing for warm, articulate classic J-bass tone, paired with a streamlined Marcus Heritage-3 preamp (no mid-frequency control) featuring push/pull active-passive switching for a straightforward, vintage-focused sound.
New Gen Style Vintage Hardware And Aesthetics
