very good Fender JB copy!
primitivo 21.02.2022
This bass looks nice and plays nice! Roasted maple neck and alder body match the color and laquer is faultless. Body resonates powerfully when practising without an amp. Neck is very comfortable, pickups are good, pots work well. Needed some fretfork and neck adjustment to avoid buzz but after that I really enjoy playing it and feel no difference to US made Fender JB-s.

N
A jazz bass through and through
Nickwolf 22.11.2024
I was looking for a bass as my only instrument.
I really like F type instruments in general... but lately I do not enjoy the quality you get for the price. For this reason I started looking for alternatives and I am glad I found Sire.
This v5 is a jb all the way to the moon and back.
The natural finish and the alder is fantastic and it is strings through!
The neck is very smooth, skinny, the frets are very well finished no sprout or sharp edges that I found.
The tuning machines are a copy of a famous brand (G) and they are well done. However, if ever they become problematic you can find tuning machines from Grover that may fit perfectly and there is no need to send the bass to a technician if you know how to use a screwdriver.
The bridge is simple, but it does all what it needs to do, string height and all the proper adjustment, there is no limitation here.
The nut is bone... C'mon what else can you ask for.
The pickups can be perhaps the weak point, I dont think they are bad... but I prefer silent pickups so this may be then only thing I would upgrade in the future... but no rush the bass sound really good.

GK
Begeistert mit High-End-Verarbeitung
Gokhan K 07.07.2025
Ich habe sie vor sechs Monaten gekauft und sie hat mich sofort beeindruckt, sowohl spielerisch als auch klanglich. Der Passiv-Jazz-Bass liefert (70er‑Spacing) typisch knackige Mittel‑ und satte Tiefbässe. Er klingt „modern und aufgeräumt“.

Aus der Box klingt er bereits hervorragend, leicht nachzujustieren, aber nicht erforderlich.

Die Verarbeitung ist tadellos: lackierte Korpusoberfläche, gerollte Griffbrettkanten, perfekt gefeilte Bünde.

Das roasted Maple‑Halsgefühl wird von vielen als „Traumhals“ gelobt, butterweich in der Hand.

Der passive Ton ist klassisch, aber etwas leiser im Output im Vergleich zu aktiven Modellen, verschmerzbar bei entsprechendem Verstärker.

Trotz seiner Einstufung als Einsteiger-Instrument halte ich den V5 nicht nur für Anfänger geeignet, sondern auch absolut bühnentauglich. Die Verarbeitungsqualität und der durchsetzungsfähige Sound machen ihn auch im Live-Kontext zu einer verlässlichen Wahl.

Insgesamt ist der Marcus Miller V5 ein echtes Preis-Leistungs-Wunder. Wer ein vielseitiges, gut klingendes und hochwertig verarbeitetes Instrument sucht, wird hier definitiv glücklich.

Ich war so begeistert von diesem Bass, dass ich mir inzwischen auch den Marcus Miller M7 bestellt habe – das sagt wohl alles darüber, wie sehr mich dieser Bass überzeugt hat!
