The Fender Marcus Miller Signature Jazz Bass, especially the highly regarded 2013 Made in Mexico (MIM) model, is an absolute powerhouse—a turbo-charged Jazz Bass designed for one of the world's greatest bassists. This instrument is built to deliver that signature, aggressive tone that defined modern funk and fusion.
This is not a passive vintage replica; it's a modern tone machine built for cutting through the mix.
Active Preamp: The defining feature is the powerful 2-band active EQ (bass boost/cut, treble boost/cut) that provides massive sonic flexibility. When you switch to active mode, your output volume jumps, delivering the punch and clarity needed for Marcus Miller's signature slap-and-pop technique.
Active/Passive Mini-Toggle: Need to dial it back to old-school J-Bass warmth? A discreet mini-toggle switch allows you to bypass the preamp for a traditional, passive single-coil tone.
Dual Vintage-Style Jazz Bass Pickups: These single-coil pickups provide the fundamental Fender growl, perfectly positioned (often '70s spacing) to interact with the active circuitry.
Built on the foundation of Marcus Miller's own '75 Jazz Bass, this model features distinct aesthetics and hardware for enhanced performance.
Ash Body: The ash body provides the strong, articulate fundamental tone and snap often favored for slapping, complemented by a striking Natural or Sunburst finish.
Maple Neck: The one-piece maple neck and fingerboard with the '70s-style black block inlays and binding offers a fast, slick playing surface and adds a bright edge to the attack.
Badass II Bridge: A crucial component of the Marcus Miller sound, the Badass II bridge provides increased mass, which translates directly into superior sustain, punch, and tuning stability.
Comfortable Neck Profile: The neck profile is generally a comfortable 'C' shape, making it equally suitable for intricate fingerstyle, pick playing, or blistering slap lines.
This 2013 MIM model represents a fantastic balance of professional-grade features and quality control, making the legendary Marcus Miller sound accessible to working musicians. It's an inspiring instrument that excels in funk, R&B, jazz, and beyond.
