Sire Marcus Miller Er Z7-5 Lh Burgundy Burgundy

A bass developed in the Marcus Miller spirit, built for the stage

The Z7-5 LH highlights the modern DNA associated with Marcus Miller: a "Z-Bass" style ergonomics, versatile active electronics, and a luthiery base focused on clarity and dynamics. Combining playing precision, quick adjustments, and an extensive tonal palette, it targets bassists who want a bass capable of covering everything from studio to stage without compromising note clarity.

For which bassists and styles

Thanks to its long scale and comprehensive electronics, this bass is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking versatility, a wide dynamic range, and effective settings for live situations. It excels in funk, gospel, pop, modern rock, fusion, and electric jazz, with the ability to switch from a round, clean sound to a very incisive slap.

The sound

Swamp ash provides a sharp attack, firm lows, and a nice openness in the mids, while the maple neck and maple fingerboard enhance definition and response speed. The J + MM combination allows blending a precise and articulated grain (J-type pickup) with a more massive and punchy register (MM-type pickup), ideal for reinforcing the low end. The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp and its controls (Treble, Bass, Middle, and mid-frequency adjustment) facilitate adaptation to any amplifier, venue, and style, while maintaining sustain and excellent note-by-note clarity.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the most out of its 34" / 864 mm scale length, prioritize a long scale bass string set suited to your preferred gauge (depending on your touch and tuning). If you often play under varying conditions, having a fresh set of strings on hand is a simple and effective choice to maintain attack and intonation.
