Key Features
The Sire Marcus Miller Z3 5 String Bass is a modern five-string designed to combine familiar bass character with flexible active tone shaping. Its mahogany body features a forearm contour and defined lower cutaway, creating a distinctive shape. A hard maple C-shaped neck and matching hard maple Edgeless fingerboard provide a smooth, comfortable playing surface, with rolled fretboard edges helping the neck feel naturally broken-in from the outset. A 34-inch scale and 22 medium-jumbo frets complete a straightforward, player-focused setup.
At the heart of the Z3 is a Sire Standard MM pickup, delivering the powerful humbucker-style foundation. The Marcus Heritage-3 active preamp provides treble, middle, and bass controls, allowing you to shape the instrument from classic tones through to more contemporary voices while adding satisfying low-end depth. A Sire Standard MM bridge provides 17.5mm string spacing, while standard open-gear tuners and a bone nut complete the practical hardware setup. Finished with chrome hardware and a black pickguard, the Z3 offers versatile performance with a bold, modern appearance.

The Z3 combines a Sire Standard MM pickup with the Marcus Heritage-3 active preamp to provide a powerful, flexible platform for shaping your bass sound. Its humbucker-style pickup is designed for the deep, groovy character associated with this type of configuration, while active equalisation lets you tailor the response to suit different playing situations. Dedicated treble, middle, and bass controls make adjustments straightforward, giving you access to a broad range of sounds spanning classic bass character and more contemporary tones without an overly complicated control layout.
Sire's Z-Bass body shape takes inspiration from an iconic '70s bass design while establishing its own modern identity. Crafted from mahogany, the body incorporates a rounded forearm contour intended to provide a comfortable playing position, alongside a defined lower cutaway that contributes to its distinctive silhouette. The design is intended to meet the needs of both traditional and modern players, pairing familiar visual cues with contemporary detailing. A black three-ply pickguard complements the body and reinforces the Z3's bold, purposeful appearance.
A hard maple neck gives the Z3 a solid playing foundation, with Sire's familiar C shape providing an approachable profile for a wide range of techniques. The matching hard maple Edgeless fingerboard features rolled fretboard edges, creating a smoother transition around the sides of the neck and a comfortable feel in the fretting hand. Its 12-inch radius balances chord work with fluid movement, while 22 medium-jumbo frets provide a substantial playing surface. Black dot inlays maintain a clean, understated look against the maple fingerboard.
The Z3's hardware is configured to support dependable everyday performance while keeping the instrument straightforward to use. A Sire Standard MM bridge provides 17.5mm string spacing across the five strings, creating a controlled layout for fingerstyle, pick playing, and other techniques. Standard open-gear tuning machines provide familiar, uncomplicated adjustment, while a 45mm-wide bone nut supports the five-string neck at the other end. A five-bolt steel plate secures the neck to the body, and chrome hardware completes the clean, functional specification. Together, these appointments create a robust foundation for regular playing.
