The Z3 draws inspiration from an iconic 1970s bass, reinterpreted by Sire with contemporary ergonomics. Its rounded body and black 3-ply pickguard create a strong identity, while the craftsmanship and electronics are calibrated to provide the versatility of higher-end instruments.
Designed for ambitious beginner to advanced left-handed players, the Z3-5 LH effortlessly covers funk, pop, rock, gospel, R&B, and fusion. The active mode delivers powerful lows and crisp highs for slap playing, while the passive mode offers a more natural and vintage tone for fingerstyle or pick.
The mahogany body provides warm lows and a dense midrange, while the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard balance attack and definition. The "MM type" humbucker focuses on a percussive and groovy character, with tight lows and a typical growl. The Heritage-3 3-band preamp allows fine sculpting of bass, mids, and treble; the active/passive selector ensures sound reliability even without a battery. The 34" scale optimizes low B string tension, and the solid bridge and open-gear tuners ensure sustain, stability, and tuning accuracy.
- 5-string "long scale" 34" bass strings (typical gauges 45?130) to maintain low B string tension and tuning. - 9V alkaline battery for the active preamp. - Quality 6.35 mm TS instrument cable. - Universal "long scale" electric bass gig bag or case. - Wide strap (5 to 8 cm) for better comfort on stage.
