The V10-5 TBK is a seriously impressive bass. Marcus Miller has nailed the blend of modern features and classic feel; the Super J pickups are exceptionally clear and the Heritage-3 preamp gives you a ton of tonal options. This is perfect for the gigging musician who wants a high-quality, versatile 5-string without the premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a refined version of their classic designs, offering a wider mid-frequency control range and a more transparent active sound.
Yes, the bolt-on construction is very stable; the setup from the factory is typically excellent, minimizing fret buzz, but a professional setup is always recommended.
While it shares the J-Bass profile, the Super J pickups provide a more aggressive and defined tone, lacking some of the classic Fender 'scooped' mids but offering greater clarity and punch.
