General

Want to lay down the groovy bass lines that only a humbucker and active electronics can shape? Check out the attractively affordable Sire Marcus Miller Z3 5-String. Inspired by 1970s StingRay models, this deep-diving bass features a mahogany body armed with a Sire Standard MM humbucker and an active Marcus Heritage-3 preamp that accommodates in-depth tone-tweaking.

The Marcus Miller Z3 5-String: Comfy Playing Feel

Aside from a broad sonic spectrum, the Marcus Miller Z3 5-String offers masses of playing comfort since, as well as twenty-two medium jumbo frets and a flat 12-inch radius, Sire has gone with an Edgeless™ maple fretboard for a rounded feel and ample grip. Another welcome perk is the real bone nut, which increases the tuning stability and boosts the resonance, completing an effortlessly-playable bass that doesn't cost the earth.

Wrote the following about Sire Marcus Miller Z3 5-String Antique White 5-String Electric Bass Guitar

Verrassend goed gebouwde MM kopie. Licht voor een mahonie body. Hals zit tussen Precision & Jazz in; goed bespeelbaar door narrow spacing en rolled edges en heeft niet het bekende Stingray euvel dat je G snaar makkelijk van de toets afvliegt. Geluid is “meer Stingray dan een Stingray”. EQ is prima, het hoog is wel “ultra hoog”, vind ik heel fraai maar is wel echt anders dan een MM. Eén echt minnetje op dit exemplaar: het mechaniek vd G snaar loopt loodzwaar; een setje Hipshots izou een beterr krus zijn geweest maar een prijs van €500 moet natuurlijk ergens vandaan komen. All-in-all heel veel Stingray voor je geld en dat voor 20% vd prijs van “een echte”. Aanrader
