Marcus Miller P7 Alder 5 AWH 2nd Gen LH

The Sire Marcus Miller P7 is a very nice bass, very playable with a lovely smooth satin finish neck, a couple of frets were a bit sharp at the edges higher up the neck but will no doubt smooth out. Nice weight, not too heavy and well-balanced. Very powerful 18 volt active eq. The neck needed a slight tweak to add a bit more curve to it and the strings were a bit low for my liking, but the intonation was spot on. I don't like the control knobs though, the controls work well and fairly smoothly but are plastic and look cheap! It might be worth considering changing these. Some have criticised the tuners but I think they are fine. Bone nut and through body tuning is a bonus. Bridge seems solid. It's a shame they no longer come with a bass bag. Brilliant price and you do get a lot of bass for the money.
