This M7 5-string fretless is a surprisingly capable instrument for the price. The Marcus Miller pickups offer a warm, vintage-inspired tone, while the Heritage-3 electronics give you a lot of control. It’s a great option for players wanting that smooth fretless vibe without the premium-priced tag, especially those leaning towards funk, soul, or R&B.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s more flexible than many, with a pickup blender and dual-pot mid controls, allowing for nuanced tone shaping beyond basic bass/treble adjustments.
Yes, it's finished with a thin satin coating. This offers a smooth feel but allows the natural resonance of the ebony to shine through, contributing to the fretless character.
While the bolt-on construction is solid, it doesn’t offer the same level of sustain or inherent resonance as a 5-piece neck – it’s a tradeoff for affordability and a more traditional feel.
