Marcus Miller M2 5 TBL 2nd Gen 5-stars Reviews

excelent

well packaged, extremely nice sound and tunning out of the box, just the strings little high but fixed in 2 min, super recommended

Awesome

I just to play the V7 and I really want to check this M2 and I really love the sound and the green color is just beautiful

Gran sonido y desempeño a buen costo!!

Excellent bass, especially considering price.

I couldn't be happier with this bass. It looks even better in person than online, it plays very comfortably, and sounds great. The neck feel is perfect and the trans blue finish with the binding effect is beautiful. Seems fairly light weight for a 5-string as well. Nicely done!

EXTREMELY PERFECT!

I've alredy have few Harley Benton guitars. They very cheap and well builded.

BUT, after buying THAT bass, im just sitting and playing few hours already!!! SOMEBODY HEPL ME!!!!1

Cons:

1) Poor knobs quality: They spinning together. When u spinning upper knob (for example), the lower knob spinning too.

Pros:

1) Cheap. (Yes it is)

2) Nice looking. (She's sexyyy)

3) PERFECT fretboard (rounded), and frets (rounded too). After Harley benton basses that's god's bless rays on my hands, told u!

4) PERFECT neck! Nice action!

5) 24 FRETS, YAY BABY!!!1

7) Active bass.

8) No ugly fret dots (actually they exist, but transparent).

9) And finally: PERFECT SOUND!

I've got already few basses, maybe 7. And this is first bass with so clear, punchy and strong sound. Even unplugged it sound SO LOUD, ROUND AND NICE! Trust me!

I don't know how about u, but for me it's new world!

After that bass im going to sell all my HB guitars.

Yes, HB doing very nice and cheap stuff, BUT just try THAT bass, u will never regret!

Last i want to say : Sorry for my English and BRAVO MARCUS AND SIRE!

A nice intrument

It is a very nice instrument.It feels nice in your hands and the sound it's incredible.The body isn't that big and that gives you more comfort when you hold it.I think this bass is a good choice if you have a limited budget,it's not expensive and it's a great bass for the price that it has.

Moreover,I like the passive/active pickup switch.It's something you might need or not,this depends on you,but defenetly I needed that switch on a bass.

The wood from the body is very good and the neck is even better.

The maple is one of the best wood for neck and fretboard.

In conclusion,I recommend this bass.

Underpriced

The bass just feels right. For that price you get solid 3-band EQ preamp, which is also equipped in Sire's higher version M7, except two humbucker split toggles.

Also, compared to elder M7, HH set is different, but taking into account that M7 has those split toggles, perhaps that's the only difference that these two set s have (in frames of sound).

Last difference is bridge (in these two models), where M7 got a better one, which lets you to tune it more precisely.

That's it. Other than that it's a matter of taste and wood combination preference. Just guided by these 3 differences I can state for sure, that M2 deserves a good review having most of the benefits of elder's version (which is twice the price).

I've jumped in to the bass from LTD B-404SM (which is still with me of course) and I may say M2 is decent and can stand in line with my oldie LTD. LTD equipped with Aguilar soapbars and MikePop FlexCore pre-amp and of course variation of sound you can get out of it is way more bigger than from M2, but M2's own pre-amp impress at least a half of tones you can get out from it. The "out-of-the-box" sound is pretty warm and full of sustain. Lack of attack is noticeable, but can be compensated by pre-amp tune for genre you play.

If not talking about the price, here are mine pros & cons

Pros:

1. Amazing pre-amp which would suit variety of genres

2. Build quality + color finish. Looks fantastic and pretty modern

3. Easily comparable with elder's versions.

Cons:

1. Lack of attack out of the box

2. Generic bridge. I have not tuned it yet for a week I have the bass (except the day it has been delivered), so can't complain much, but I guess there may be some issues tunning it precisely for someone :)

3. Plastic pre-amp knobs are made not so good.

I can recommend this bass to anyone.
