Modern Power. Classic Feel. Limitless Tone.
The Sire Marcus Miller Z7 is the higher-tier model of the Z-Series, designed for the modern bassist who needs a versatile instrument capable of conquering any genre.
This active J/MM bass combines a quiet and articulate split-coil J-style pickup, with the punch of an MM-style humbucker into a single, sleek platform.
If you demand pro-level playability and maximum tonal flexibility—including the tonal bliss of a fretless bass—the Sire Z7 is an exceptional value and a commanding stage presence.
Hybrid Pickups and Supreme Playability
The Z7 is built for high-performance and effortless tone-shaping, providing a wide array of sonic options.
Hybrid Tonal Architecture
- The Ultimate J/MM Bass: The Sire Z7 features the Sire Premium J+MM Pickup Set (J neck and MM bridge). This unique configuration offers massive tonal versatility:
- Neck Pickup: Sire Premium Split Jazz Single-coil (P-style voicing).
- Bridge Pickup: Sire Premium MM Humbucker (for aggressive punch and clarity).
- Marcus Heritage-3 Preamp: The powerful active circuit includes the Heritage-3 Preamp with Middle Frequency Control (sweepable 3-Band EQ). This allows for surgical tone shaping, enabling you to dial in everything from vintage thump to modern, bright slap tones.
- Active/Passive Switch: Easily bypass the active preamp for a pure, passive tone—giving you the best of both worlds.
Pro-Level Feel and Durability
- Edgeless Neck Comfort: The Hard Maple neck utilizes Sire's Edgeless™ (Rolled Fretboard Edges) treatment, delivering a smooth, broken-in feel right out of the box that promotes fast, comfortable playability across the neck.
- Body and Stability: Built with a resonant Alder or Swamp Ash body (depending on finish), the Z7 features a 5-bolt Steel Plate Neck Joint for enhanced stability and sustain.
Reliability and Aesthetic
- Premium Hardware: Equipped with a Sire Premium MM Bridge and Premium Open Gear tuners for rock-solid stability.
- Modern Style: The unique Sire Z-Bass Body Shape with its defined lower cutaway and contoured forearm offers comfortable playability and a distinct modern aesthetic.
