Key Features
The Sire Marcus Miller V5 Bass, Tide Pool is a four-string passive bass suited to players who want vintage-inspired sound and feel. Its North American alder body is paired with a Marcus Vintage J-Revolution pickup set, giving you the foundations of a traditional jazz-style bass setup. Two individual pickup volume controls and a master tone keep sound shaping simple, so you can easily adjust the pickup balance and overall character.
The roasted hard maple neck adds another vintage-minded detail, while its C-shaped profile and rolled fretboard edges are designed for comfortable playing. A 34-inch scale, 9.5-inch fingerboard radius, and 38mm bone nut complete the playing setup. Finished in Tide Pool with a black three-ply pickguard, black block inlays, and chrome hardware, the V5 pairs its classic specifications with a distinctive finish.

The V5 keeps its electronics straightforward with a fully passive setup. You get separate volume controls for the neck and bridge pickups alongside one master tone control, letting you adjust your sound without navigating extra controls. Blend the Marcus Vintage J-Revolution pickups in different amounts to find the balance that suits your playing, then use the tone control to make further adjustments. It’s an uncomplicated layout designed around the familiar character of a passive jazz-style bass — useful when you want quick, direct control over your sound.
A North American alder body provides the foundation of the V5, complemented by a Marcus Miller Vintage S bridge and Marcus Vintage J-Revolution pickup set. Together, these components give the bass its vintage-focused specification, making it well suited to players who prefer a traditional passive setup. The four-string design uses a 34-inch scale, while premium open-gear tuners provide a classic hardware configuration. Chrome hardware, black jazz-style control knobs, and a three-ply black pickguard complete the look without distracting from the Tide Pool body finish.
The roasted hard maple neck combines a C-shaped profile with rolled fingerboard edges, giving your fretting hand a smoother surface around the sides of the fingerboard. Roasting uses a process called torrefaction to give the maple characteristics associated with aged wood. The roasted hard maple fingerboard has a 9.5-inch radius and 2.4mm medium frets, providing a clearly defined playing surface. A 38mm bone nut sets the string spacing at the top of the neck, while the four-bolt steel square plate provides the neck joint.
The Tide Pool finish gives the V5 a distinctive appearance while retaining plenty of traditional jazz-style bass details. Black square block inlays run along the roasted hard maple fingerboard, matched with single-ply black binding for a coordinated look. Down at the body, a three-ply black pickguard and black plastic jazz-style knobs continue the contrast against the Tide Pool finish. Chrome hardware adds the final touch, including the Marcus Miller Vintage S bridge and premium open-gear tuners. The result combines vintage-inspired appointments with a colour that gives the instrument its own visual identity.
