Essential Information About the Sire Z3-5 ?Skyburst Sparkle? Bass

  • 5-string active/passive bass with Marcus Heritage-3 preamp and 3-band EQ for deep lows and precise tonal shaping.
  • Sire Standard MM-style humbucker with a groovy character, perfect for slap, funk, and modern punchy lines.
  • New Z-Bass mahogany body with ?egg?-shaped pickguard and pronounced cutaway: refined ergonomics and easy access to the high frets.
  • ?Edgeless? maple neck with C profile, rosewood fingerboard with 12" radius, 22 frets, 45 mm bone nut for comfort and intonation.

A Modern Z-Bass Inspired by the 1970s

The Z3-5 incorporates the hallmarks of iconic seventies basses (aesthetic, punchy attack) and combines them with Sire?s craftsmanship. The new rounded Z-Bass body shape, unique pickguard, and stage-ready hardware make it a reliable choice in the range, known for delivering high-level performance in its segment.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a versatile and reliable 5-string, the Z3-5 remains accessible to ambitious beginners. It excels in funk/slap, rock, pop, R&B, and gospel, and adapts easily to both studio and live settings thanks to its active/passive mode.

Sound

The mahogany body delivers warm lows and rich density, while the maple neck provides attack and sustain; the rosewood fingerboard softens the highs. The MM-style humbucker offers a robust low end, tight attack, and singing mids. In active mode, the 3-band EQ (bass/mid/treble) sculpts the tone precisely; in passive mode, it offers a more organic and dynamic response. The 34" / 864 mm scale length ensures optimal tension on the B string for clear and punchy lines.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Choose a 5-string bass string set suited for the 34" scale length (e.g., 45?130 for firm tension or 40?125 for more flexibility). A gig bag or hard case for standard 5-string 34" electric bass will perfectly protect the instrument. Complete with a strap (leather or neoprene) and a quality 6.35 mm jack cable for stage and studio use.
