A Z7 designed for stage and studio in the "modern Jazz Bass" spirit
The Z7-4 NT embodies a very contemporary approach to Jazz-style basses: a foundation of traditional luthiery (swamp ash, bolt-on neck) enhanced by active electronics designed for versatility. The result is an expressive and precise instrument, capable of performing well both in rehearsals and recordings, with a satin finish that highlights the grain and character of the burl poplar top.
For which bassist and styles?
This 4-string electric bass is mainly aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a responsive instrument with real controls to adapt to any context. It excels in funk, soul, pop, RnB, fusion, and rock: crisp attack for slap, clean definition in fingerstyle, and enough presence to remain clear in a dense mix.
Tone
Swamp ash generally provides a firm low end and a sharp attack, with a clear high spectrum that favors snap and precision. The solid burl poplar top adds a sense of nuance and dynamics, useful for more expressive right-hand playing. The two Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups deliver a "Jazz"-type tone: articulated mids, precise highs, and clear lows, ideal for switching from a snappy bridge sound to a rounder neck tone. The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp allows further shaping of bass, mids (with frequency control), and treble to quickly find your place in the mix, from clean vintage to sharply defined modern tones.
Recommended compatible accessories
For this 4-string, choose a set of long scale 34" / 864 mm bass strings (gauge according to your playing style). A standard strap is also recommended for added comfort during long standing sessions.
