Frequently Asked Questions
The passive mode offers a more classic, vintage tone with a slightly rolled-off high end, while active mode boosts the signal and adds more clarity and punch.
The C-shape is a fairly standard profile – it's comfortable for most, but those with very large hands might find it slightly snug, though the rounded fingerboard edges help.
The Marcus Miller V7 stands out with its unique pickup voicing and versatile Heritage-3 electronics, offering a slightly different character than more traditional Fender-style J-basses.
