Sire Marcus Miller Z3 5 String Electric Bass, Blue

Sire’s Take on the King of Sting

The Marcus Miller Z3 5-string bass guitar is Sire’s top-class throwback to the stinging sound of the late 1970s, capturing the gritty, aggressive bite of an all-time low-end classic. Starting with a lightweight mahogany body in a well-balanced Z-Bass carve, the Z3 sports an assortment of vintage-inspired appointments, including an oval-shaped pickguard, swooping control plate, oversized bridge-position humbucker, and rock-solid Standard MM bridge.

The hard maple neck’s “C” profile offers a fast, speedy, and supremely comfortable feel. Meanwhile, the matching hard maple fingerboard’s Edgeless treatment, 12-inch radius, and 22 medium-jumbo frets form a fitting foundation for all manner of fingerboard heroics. You also get an active Marcus Heritage-3 preamp system, complete with a 3-band EQ for exacting tonal precision. Whether you’re a dedicated slapper or simply seeking a rock-solid all-rounder for your next gig, the Sire Marcus Miller Z3 is ready to take the mantle!

Straight out of the late 1970s
Based on one of the most iconic bass guitars of the 1970s and beyond, the Sire Marcus Miller Z3’s mahogany body provides unfettered access to the upper frets and a comfortably balanced double-cut composition. From the oval-shaped pickguard to the swooping metal control plate, the Z3 wears its inspiration with pride — right down to the single oversized bridge-position humbucker, fittingly dubbed the Sire Standard MM pickup. 

Fast-playing “C”-profile neck
Whether you’re picking up the bass for the very first time or a longtime touring veteran, choosing a bass that feels comfortable in your hand is imperativeLuckily, the Sire Marcus Miller U3 boasts a classic “C” profile maple neck, a classic among both guitarists and bassists revered for its ability to accommodate players of all styles and backgrounds. A matching hard maple fingerboard studded with high-performance medium-jumbo frets sits atop the neck. Best of all, the Z3’s neck is finished with Sire’s Edgeless rolled fingerboard edge treatment for a sleek and supple feel from the first fret to the 22nd.
