NBD- Sire Marcus Miller V7 Redburst Sparkle

As soon as Sire announced it, I knew I was going to end up getting one.
It couldn’t be more glam, under stage lights this bad boy is going to be quite a showstopper.
It weighs more than I’d like (4,47kg - 9,85lbs) but as for playability and tone it is a great bass, not only for the money.
Something that caught my attention is that it comes from the factory with DR Dragon Skin+ strings, it's the first time I've seen this on a Sire.

These beautiful photos are from the shop where I bought it, with the mint-green pickguard:

I’ve put Sadowsky knobs on it (almost 2026 and Sire is still using those horrible cheap plastic knobs) and a black pickguard, which I think complements the look of the black block inlays much better:

Look nicer once black guard and pickup cover installed
