Description
The Sire P7 Alder 5 New Gen in Tidepool is a modern workhorse bass that blends classic P and J tones with slick, player-focused upgrades. Drawing on feedback from the acclaimed V7, V7 Vintage and P7 2nd Gen models, this latest generation refines the formula with a more comfortable neck, simplified controls and updated electronics, giving you a versatile, gig-ready instrument that feels effortless under the fingers.
With its roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets, lightweight hardware and redesigned Marcus Super PJ pickups feeding the Marcus Heritage 3 preamp, the P7 New Gen is built for bassists who need studio-level tone and reliable performance night after night. The Tidepool finish, paired with block inlays and binding, delivers a standout look that is as smart as the specification.
Refined New Gen Neck for Effortless Playability
The updated C shape New Gen neck is designed to feel instantly familiar yet noticeably more comfortable. Roasted hard maple on the Tidepool model offers enhanced stability and a smooth, broken-in feel, while the 34 inch scale and 9.5 inch radius strike a sweet spot between modern ease and traditional feel. Sire’s Edgeless rolled fretboard edges remove any sharpness along the neck, making position shifts and extended sets far less fatiguing.
Updated Electronics with Simplified Control Layout
The P7 New Gen streamlines its control layout for faster, more intuitive operation. The coil tap switch has been removed, leaving a cleaner interface with smoother knob action so you can focus on playing rather than menu diving. The Marcus Super PJ Revolution pickup set, paired with the Marcus Heritage 3 preamp and sweepable mid control, gives you a wide tonal palette from vintage thump to modern punch, all accessible via a logical, performance friendly layout.
Stage Ready Visibility and Durability
Lumiinlay dot position markers make it easier to see where you are on dark stages or in low light rehearsal rooms, helping you stay locked in without second guessing your hand position. Stainless steel frets offer improved longevity and a slick feel under the fingers, standing up to heavy gigging and aggressive playing styles while maintaining a consistent, precise response across the neck.
Classic PJ Versatility with Modern Hardware
The Marcus Super PJ Revolution pickups capture the best of both worlds, with a punchy split coil P style pickup at the neck and a articulate J style single coil at the bridge. Blend between them to cover everything from old school soul to tight, modern fusion. The Marcus Miller Modern S bridge and premium lightweight open gear tuners provide solid tuning stability and responsive feel, while keeping overall weight manageable for long sessions.
