REFINED P-STYLE BODY WITH NEW GEN NECK SYSTEM

The P7 New Gen features Sire’s the Edgeless™ and updated New Gen C-shape neck and stainless steel frets for improved comfort and durability, while a traditional wide P-style nut (42 mm 4-string / 47.5 mm 5-string) and lightweight open-gear tuners ensure classic feel with better balance.

SUPER-PJ PICKUP SYSTEM

The Marcus Super-PJ Revolution pickups deliver powerful P-style punch with added J-style clarity, paired with the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp featuring mid-frequency control and a dedicated active/passive mini-toggle for instant passive access without changing settings.

MODERN HARDWARE & UPDATED CONTROLS

The Modern-S Bass Bridge enhances sustain and string stability, while the Aluminum control knobs add a premium look and feel. The revised dual-pot volume/tone and mid/frequency layout delivers wide tonal control without added complexity.

P7 CONTROL LAYOUT

1. Volume — Top Knob

Turn toward Open to increase the volume. Turn toward Close to decrease the volume. When turned fully in the Close direction, the volume will be muted.

2. Master Tone — Bottom Knob

Turn toward Close for a darker tone. Turn toward Open for a brighter tone.

3. Pickup Balancer

The center position is the basic position. In this position, both the neck and bridge pickups are used equally. Turn toward Neck to increase the neck pickup signal. Turn toward Bridge to increase the bridge pickup signal. When turned fully toward Neck, only the neck pickup is used. When turned fully toward Bridge, only the bridge pickup is use. Note: The following EQ controls work in Active Mode.

4. Treble

Turn toward Boost to increase the treble range. Turn toward Cut to decrease the treble range. The center position is the basic position.

5. Middle — Top Knob

Turn toward Boost to increase the middle range. Turn toward Cut to decrease the middle range. The center position is the basic position.

6. Middle Frequency — Bottom Knob

Use this knob to select the mid-frequency range affected by the Middle control. Turning the knob changes the selected mid-frequency point. The Middle Frequency control takes effect when the Middle control is boosted or cut.

7. Bass

Turn toward Boost to increase the bass range. Turn toward Cut to decrease the bass range. The center position is the basic position.

8. Active / Passive Switch

Use this switch to select between active and passive operation. Set the switch to Active to use the onboard preamp and EQ controls. Set the switch to Passive to bypass the active preamp and use a more natural passive sound.

Basic Use

For a balanced sound, set the Pickup Balancer in the center position and keep the EQ controls near the middle position. To emphasize a brighter and tighter tone, turn the Pickup Balancer toward the bridge pickup and increase the Treble slightly. To emphasize a warmer and fuller tone, turn the Pickup Balancer toward the neck pickup and increase the Bass slightly. For more precise tone shaping, adjust the Middle Frequency first, then use the Middle control to cut or boost the selected frequency range. Use Active mode when you want more control over the EQ. Use Passive mode when you want a simpler and more natural tone.
