Sire Basses Z Series Marcus Miller Mahogany 4-String Active Bass - Blue

The Sire Marcus Miller Z3 bass guitar is crafted for bassists who crave a punchy, groovy humbucker sound with enhanced lows and rhythmic groove. Offering both 4-string and 5-string configurations, as well as fretless options, the Z3 is a bass that captures vintage tones with a modern twist. It shares tonal similarities with the Sire P models but sets itself apart with a deeper, fuller low end, giving players more resonance and depth across styles.

Sire’s signature Edgeless™ fretboard design, featuring rolled edges, elevates the Z3’s playability by providing an ultra-smooth, comfortable grip. This attention to detail adds to the bass’s refined aesthetic, making it a pleasure for extended play. Complementing this design is the Heritage-3 preamp system, a 3-band EQ control that offers immense tonal flexibility. With a focus on balance and clarity, the preamp lets players seamlessly transition between vintage and contemporary sounds.

Inspired by iconic ‘70s basses, the Z3’s body features a rounded forearm contour and classic lower cutaway. Crafted from high-quality mahogany, the body shape not only enhances comfort but also amplifies the instrument’s tonal warmth and durability. Equipped with premium hardware, including Standard MM pickups and open-gear tuners, the Z3 delivers rich, defined sound with a wide tonal range, comparable to higher-end bass models.

The Sire Marcus Miller Z3 combines modern electronics, classic design, and innovative construction, making it a go-to choice for bassists who want both versatility and power in their sound.
