Marcus Miller V3 2nd Gen<\/a><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Marcus Miller<\/strong> rarely disappoints with their basses, and the V3 2nd Generation<\/strong> is definitely no exception. You still get the excellent build<\/strong> and versatility<\/strong> in tone and style\u00a0 What has improved in the new generation is its weight,<\/strong> it is much lighter,<\/strong> the fretboard<\/strong> is rounded<\/strong> at the edges<\/strong> making it very comfortable for your hands and the pickups have been upgraded to 2 Marcus Standard Jazz Bass J-Revolution single coils<\/strong>.

Fender Vintera 60s Mustang<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This short-scale bass<\/strong> from Fender\u00a0<\/strong>is a really good option for those who prefer a smaller size<\/strong>, a slimmer neck<\/strong> and a vintage sound <\/strong>(and look)!

 <\/p>\n

You won’t exactly get that Fender Jazz Bass sound, according to Julia, but you get one hell of a bass<\/strong> for an outstanding price.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fender Kingman V2<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the first time that an acoustic bass<\/strong> is featured on our Top 5 lists and the designers and luthiers of the Fender Kingman V2<\/strong> have well deserved it. Its unique black, gold<\/strong> and silver<\/strong> look (with cutaway<\/strong>) is outstanding as is its sound,<\/strong> blasting through a Fishman<\/a> Presys+<\/strong> pickup system and preamp.<\/p>\n
