Marcus Miller D5 Alder-4 BB

This is a fine instrument, well put together with good hardware, excellent fretwork and flawless finishing. The well rounded fretboard edges are very comfortable indeed and ensures no fret sprout. There's not much to it - it's a P bass so all you get is a volume and tone control, but flexibility and tone shaping is not what this bass is about. The only criticism I could level at it is that the pickup is not particularly high output - but that's what the gain knob on your amp is for. The fundamental tone is good - quite mid focussed and that makes for a great live sound with minimal EQ fuss. I'm happy with my purchase and have gigged it many times.
