The Marcus Miller M7 is a seriously impressive instrument for the price. It's got a fantastic feel thanks to that comfortable C-profile neck and ebony fretboard, and the Marcus Miller pickups give you a versatile palette of tones from smooth jazz to funky slap. This bass is ideal for gigging musicians who want a professional instrument without the premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a more comprehensive system than many, with a mid-frequency control allowing for precise sculpting of the midrange, something often missing in simpler active basses.
While not offering the same sustain as a neck-through design, the joint is well-executed and doesn’t exhibit any noticeable structural weaknesses – it's a solid and reliable construction.
The Big Mass bridge adds considerable mass, which dampens vibrations and contributes to a tighter, more controlled low end while providing a solid anchor for the strings.
