Sire Z3: A Bass We Waited Too Long For!
Sometimes, the best things take their time to arrive. The Sire Z3 proves that a little patience can lead to greatness.
The signal chain is plugged direct from an Ampeg RB112 onto a Universal Audio Volt 276 in Logic Pro X. Using no plug-ins and a teeny bit of compression from the Volt 276 in play-throughs.
Strings used in this demonstration:
JIM DUNLOP Dual Dynamic Hybrid Nickel Bass Strings 45-105

So It was brought to my attention that I messed up on my measurements of the string spacing. The correct spacing is 19mm. Thank you and apologies!
Yay
Nice review. The ATCQ was ????????????????
Can i ask how did you repaired or solved the broken wood visible @2:34 ? i mean the pace for the screw
just another question, ho did you solved the issue @2:34 where is visible the broken wooden part where the circuit cover should be screwed? i'have the same issue even if less damaged, but enough to avoid the screw from catching . thanks in advance for your suggestion
The Z3 looks and sounds great but I really want a 3+1 headstock. Is that something I should get over or bite the bullet and either pay the extra for a Ray34 or get a Ray4 and mod it?
Hi and thank for your review. can i ask you if on the bass used for the review the volume knob was misaligned compared to the others? i mean not at the same height. i tried two and on both the volume knob was at a greater distance compared to the others, nothing particularly serious but not beautiful to look at. for the rest the bass sounds great and has a beautiful fingerboard
Legitimately thinking about selling my stingray and buying one of these , love the stingray shape and sound but the one I have is so heavy on my shoulder especially compared to other stingrays I've held now I'm a decently young dude but I crashed a lot of cars so my rotator cuff isn't what it used to be
Hey Sonojono. I really like your stuff. Everything is absolutely the way it should be, pure honesty ????. I've got my share of basses as being a studio bassest for around 900 years has lead me around the world ????. It really is all about Love and the Groove ❤
In general I always like scooped mid and never boosted the mid.. but for this one, I like how the mid-boosted sound.
A nice bass but it doesn’t like a Stingray at all with his neck dive, a spaghetti pots/controls inside! I think is a 5 pcs body! But the pickup is a ceramic idea! No way! Come on save up for a really Stingray!!????
My Blue Z3 arrived an hour ago! Ha cha! I love it. Ordered Light DR Pure Blues strings. My friend will swap out the strap buttons for Schaller Strap Locks. Ha cha!
Man i wish they made a fretless version
Why would you swap out the pickups, as well as this bass sounds?
Another NON ORIGINAL stupid CLONE, boring as HELL!!!!
When ever I boost the bass Controll just a bit, my compressor is compleatly overwealmed. If I cut it, it sounds thin right aeay, so O never touch it
Got mine in white and black last week and looooove it so much ????
This with a nordstrand PUP and gotoh tuners will be a badass bass
Do you have passive tone control?
Thank you very very much for a great review particularly including neck dimensions specs!
For a Bass that in my opinion is quite heavy, the neck dive is unacceptable.
would you recommend the neotech regular strap for someone who has the bass quite high up?
Advantage over Sterling?
I will own this bass next year!!
"Egg shell Tort Guard", I don't believe it was the tortoises eggs they used to get the shells originally. Seems this rose colour is only Z3 with a Tortoise Shell coloured pickguard. It looks nice, but I'm tempted to get this and if I can't live with the colour do a rattle can job on it. Not that fussed with the other colour options and I have 2 white Sires already (PJ and a Strat). Although from pics and review it is starting o grow on me.
New Sub Bro ! Good review
It sounds nice and price is good but it doesn't do THAT MusicMan tone
they really need to do something about tuner weight
I think I see the Squire affinity active bass in the background. So when is that review coming? Hinit, hint. ????????
It has a lot of features for the money. Good value proposition. Sounds like you just change the tuners to lighter weight ones and you are done. A reasonable thing for this price point.
Why don't Sire put lightweight tuners on and delete the neck dive?,don't see why I should have to pay more to sort out their bad design.
strings thru body don't give more sustain. they give shitty string break angle for the thick ones 😉
Honestly that pickup sounds pretty decent. Would be cool to be able to run the pickup in series or parallel.
???? that mystic seafoam green Squier J. Cannot wait to hear you play it!!!!!
Is there a notch or something to feel the mid on the knobs?
I'm used to jazz bass knobs
Not a fan of the body (lower horn) but I might just cop one and see about making a Ray 4 into a 5 bolt and using the sire neck. Could also swap out the electronics ????
Why everyone still talking about a sharp ends?
What's with the wig?
Might have to put this on my wishlist for a BEAD bass.
This is not a MM sound at all….
Mahogany is cheap and heavy as hell. Lots of these 4's are 10 pounders, 5's more
We? You mean you.
How well can it handle distortion tho????????
Brilliant. Sounds great! I love the funky colours of them too. Great video.
it may sound better than a Ball's family reserve but it's too ugly for me to buy it
So ugly hard to like
