fender marcus miller jazz bass serial numbers

It has lasted well and it still plays but it was time to move on. I have a Peavey Dyna-Bass 4-string from WAY back in the day that I bought used in the mid 1990's. I started looking for a new bass about 6 months ago. This bass guitar will not let you down or disappoint you. The Marcus tone is something I guess you love or hate. She's much preferred over my last MIA Jazz Standard.

The Marcus is a nice addition to my stable. My other basses include a Kramer era Spector NS2, a LEJ Exotic 5 string, and a Pedulla Pentabuzz fretless. I play in a contemporary praise and worship band. This Marcus Miller had quickly become my primary bass. It's manageable & balances nice on a quality strap. The weight is on the heavy side but not unlike the Classic 70's. Restringing w/ DR HI Beams brought it to life! The jury is still out on the reverse tuners because I've been having to re-tune more often than I like. It allows for a very low action & straight neck. Although the 70's Classic can be more aggressive in the mids than other Jazz models. IF you want a mellower sounding bass, witho ut the snappy high end, then the 70's classic might be for you.

I just sold a MIM classic 70's Jazz w/ alder body & rosewood fingerboard (same pickup position). The bass has this same character in passive mode, but you can only tone-down the highs in active mode because the passive tone is wide-open w/ no roll-off tone control. It has that Marcus snap & sparkle along with plenty of bottom. I love the tone of this Jazz because of the combination of ash body, maple neck & fingerboard, and 70's bridge pickup position. After missing the Marcus so long, I finally have one back in the stable! It's a MIJ w/ none of the electronic issues I've heard about (outsides the typical Fender Jazz lack of good shielding issue). Years ago, I owned one of these but switched to primarily 5 string. I love the sound of my Fender MIJ Marcus MIller Jazz bass
