Sire Marcus Miller Er Z3-4 Rose Gold

A Z3-4 in "Jazz" format, blending classic ergonomics with modern options

With its Marcus Miller Jazz Shape, the Z3-4 offers a familiar feel and excellent accessibility across the entire neck. The natural satin finish combined with the 3-ply ivory pearloid pickguard highlights a look that is both understated and premium, while the active electronics open the door to sounds ranging from traditional Jazz spirit to more modern and sculpted textures.

Who it's for, and which styles

This bass is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists who want to take the leap into fretless with a precise and versatile instrument. It excels in jazz, fusion, funk, soul, sophisticated pop, soundtrack music, and any situation where intonation, phrasing, and dynamics are paramount.

The sound

The swamp ash provides a quick response, good projection, and a well-controlled low end, while the maple neck/fretboard combination enhances attack and clarity, particularly appreciated for bringing out the nuances of fretless playing. The Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups deliver an articulated and detailed grain, and the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp with Middle Frequency Control allows fine-tuning of the balance: lows for foundation, highs for presence, and especially parametric mids (frequency selection) to place the bass exactly where you want it. The Blender control facilitates blending between the two pickups, enabling a shift from a more focused and biting sound to a wider image, ideal for expressive passages and singing lines.

Recommended compatible accessories

With its long scale 34" / 864 mm scale length, this bass accepts 4-string long scale bass strings. On a fretless, flatwound strings are often chosen for a softer feel and rounder attack, while reducing sliding noise. A standard strap is also compatible to improve comfort when playing standing up.
