PASSIVE VOLUME & TONE CONTROLS

The V3P features a fully passive electronics system with individual volume controls for the neck and bridge pickups and a master tone control. The simple layout makes it easy to blend the two pickups and shape the bass’s natural tone without the need for an active preamp.

MARCUS STANDARD-J REVOLUTION PICKUP SET

The Marcus Standard-J Revolution pickup set delivers a clear and defined J-style bass tone. Built with U.S.-made heavy Formvar magnet wire, the pickups provide articulate response and tonal versatility across both pickup positions.

MAHOGANY BODY

The mahogany body provides a solid foundation for the V3P’s warm and balanced character. Its familiar Marcus Miller J-type shape offers a classic look and comfortable playing feel.

V3P CONTROL LAYOUT

1. Output Jack

Connect the instrument cable to the output jack to send the signal from the instrument to an amplifier, audio interface, or other external equipment.

2. Master Tone

Turn the knob one direction to reduce high frequencies for a warmer, darker tone.
Turn the knob the opposite direction to keep more high frequencies for a brighter, clearer tone.

3. Volume for Bridge Pickup

This knob controls the output level of the bridge pickup.
Turn the knob up to increase the bridge pickup volume.
Turn it down to decrease the bridge pickup volume.
When turned fully down, the bridge pickup will be muted.

4. Volume for Neck Pickup

This knob controls the output level of the neck pickup.
Turn the knob up to increase the neck pickup volume.
Turn it down to decrease the neck pickup volume.
When turned fully down, the neck pickup will be muted.

Basic Use

For a balanced sound, turn both pickup volume knobs fully up.
To emphasize a brighter and tighter tone, increase the Bridge
Pickup Volume or reduce the Neck Pickup Volume.
To emphasize a warmer and fuller tone, increase the Neck Pickup Volume or reduce the Bridge Pickup Volume.
