Mt
review After 5 years ownership
Mat thiaz 28.11.2021
Already 5 years since I bought it.
Awesome bass! You get so much sounds options that you will never get bored.

that's how i use it mainly :
single coil mode: fingerstyle
parallel mode: slap
series mode: with distortion

It's a 35" scale bass so remember to buy the appropriate extra-long strings for it. (I use the Sadowsky Blue Label SBS 45 XL stainless steel).

The neck is affected a bit by temperature changes/humidity even if it has neck reinforcement rods.

Tuners are OK.
The confort and feeling are great (4 out of 5).

You can choose to play with string through body or on top (It makes a small difference on sound)
top load is a bit more warner and through body is a bit more punchier.

I have used the bass also with drop tuning (ADGCF) but i prefer the standard tuning as it sound better to my ears.

Esthetically i do not like the Marcus Miller name on the headstock.

Cool additional features: by opening the rear panel there is a small knob where you can select the how much output you like in active mode.
bridge is 18mm string spacing but you can adjust it a bit.

String/pickup/wood/nut material choice are well balanced with no volume spikes when playing and recording.

EQ advise: boost low and cut 1khz mid.

Definitely you will have to do a good set up and maybe a fret leveling when getting this bass if you like very low action.

careful when you adjust the truss rod...If you strip it will need to remove the fretboard completely to replace it.

The output jack needed to be replaced after one year. (Get a Switchcraft Panel Mount 1/4” TRS Jack BK).

to conclude ... difficult to find a better bass for the price....maybe a custom one next?

Great Workhorse Bass - Amazing Value
Kvlt 07.06.2020
I love this bass. So much bang-for-buck. Very nice ebony fretboard and polished frets with smooth rounded ends - super comfortable to play. If you take the time to dial in your tone you can get just about any sound out of this. Two humbuckers with individual toggles can be run in series, parallel, or in single-coil mode. Combined with the active/passive switch gives a massive amount of tonal versatility. Can string through body or bridge. Bridge is heavy and high quality. Body and finish are gorgeous. 100% satisfied.

High-end bass at a reasonable price!
Lommax 17.11.2022
The MM M7 5 string is an excellent choice for a bassist looking to get a more professional quality instrument without breaking the bank. The sound is excellent. The humbucker pickups provide a clear sound without any buzz. The 35" scale really helps provide the necessary tension for the low B string that most 34" scale basses can't provide. Setup was almost perfect out of the box. I had to make a very slight adjustment for the intonation, but that took less than 5 minutes. Weight isn't an issue. I would say it's not the lightest bass I've played, but it's also not the heaviest. It's comfortable to me. It also seems to be balanced well as I haven't had any neck dive. The EQ and pickup settings provide for lots of different sound options. I would say this bass is suitable for any type of music. The neck plays well and is pretty fast. The transparent blue finish is gorgeous! I haven't found any flaws in the appearance. The only thing I have see is some of the plastic knobs are a bit crooked, and I don't know if it's because of the knobs themselves or the shaft on the control pot. However, they are very well secured and provide no difficulty of use when using them to adjust the pickups or the EQ. There's certainly not enough for me to reduce a star.

Overall, this is a VERY good bass that I would highly recommend.
