Description
The Sire P7 Alder 4 New Gen in Tobacco Sunburst is a modern take on the classic PJ bass, refined using real player feedback from the V7, V7 Vintage and P7 2nd Gen ranges. With an updated neck, stainless steel frets, lightweight hardware and redesigned Marcus Super PJ pickups, it delivers a flexible, professional sound with a slick, comfortable feel that suits everything from studio sessions to long live sets.
Combining a North American alder body with the acclaimed Marcus Heritage-3 preamp, the P7 New Gen offers a huge tonal palette, from vintage-flavoured passive thump to bright, articulate active tones. The simplified control layout keeps everything intuitive, while premium touches like Lumiinlay position markers and rolled fretboard edges make this bass feel far more expensive than it is.
New Gen Neck for Effortless Playability
The updated C-shape New Gen neck is designed to feel immediately familiar under the hand, with just the right amount of depth for support without slowing you down. Roasted hard maple adds stability and a smooth, broken-in feel, while the Edgeless rolled fretboard edges help the neck disappear in your hand, making fast lines, position shifts and long gigs noticeably more comfortable.
Stainless Steel Frets and Lumiinlay Markers
Stainless steel frets offer a slick playing surface and exceptional durability, standing up to years of bending, vibrato and heavy gigging with minimal wear. Lumiinlay dot position markers give you clear visual reference on dark stages or in low-light environments, so you can play confidently without second-guessing your position.
Marcus Super PJ Pickups with Heritage-3 Preamp
The Marcus Super PJ Revolution pickup set delivers a powerful, expressive voice that covers classic P-style punch and J-style clarity in one instrument. Paired with the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp and its dedicated mid frequency control, you can precisely shape your tone for any genre, then flip to passive mode with the mini toggle when you want a more traditional, organic response.
Simplified, Gig-Ready Controls
The P7 New Gen features a streamlined control layout for quicker, more intuitive operation. The coil tap switch has been removed to keep things focused and reliable, while the dual-concentric pots and aluminium knobs give you smooth, precise control over volume, tone and EQ. It is a layout designed to be learned in minutes and trusted on stage.
