  • They definitely have tone that's reminiscent of vintage pre-EB Stingrays. They still lack a bit of bite though.

  • One of those 5-string Sire models would appeal to me if I wasn’t caught up in the idea of getting a headless 5-string.

  • So is a “split-J pickup” like a P pickup in a smaller housing? I was hoping the 2 pickup version would have a P pickup in the neck.

  • I received my Z3 from Andertons at the weekend (in white, although I'm still wondering if I should have gone all in with black sparkle!). It's still early days but it's a phenomenal amount of bass for the money. Having briefly owned a Ray4, I feel like it's a notable step up in quality for the same price. The neck is out-of-this-world good – not just for the price, full stop. I was apprehensive about the (ceramic?) pickup but it and the preamp sound very good and are not overly pokey a la Ray4, which means it can cover a fair bit of ground sonically. The pickup is even wired in parallel, meaning it's actually closer to an old Stingray than Sterling's own effort… I did slap some old Chromes on it and it's pretty much late 70s-80s disco funk heaven. Boost the treble a tad and it cops a decent 80s Pino tone too. The passive mode is also very usable, not a big drop in volume and works well for that Dart-esque vibe.

    It's my first Sire and I can see why people rave about them. The fit and finish is absolutely excellent on the one I got, and the setup was also pretty much spot on – a bit on the high side action-wise perhaps, but I lowered it with no issues, no truss rod tweaks needed. The nut slots might be a smidge high too, but I've seen way worse on much pricier instruments.

    The problem is I'm now looking at that natural Z7, and Sire's guitars too ????

    A fretless Z3 would also be an absolute boss move from Sire, but that might be a bit niche for them. Here's hoping the range works well and they add to it.

  • Just recieved my Z7 this afternoon from Andertons. I ordered it approximately 48 hrs ago!. Delivery a dream and a certificate of quality checks included. I’ve took it out jamming tonight!………….it's fekin awesome! If you're into the Stingray sound, just buy one. 9 hours in and I'm thinking it's going to be my no1.

  • Mentioning the alphabet’:
    That new F10 6-string looks and sounds amazing. Finally a ‘Fodera’ that comes within reach ????????????????.
    So waiting (and saving) for that one ????????

  • Is the string spacing wider than stingray 5? I kinda find it difficult to play on stingray 5 due to the narrow spacing of 17mm. I really do hope that the z series would have 18mm……

  • Hey lovely people from Andertons ! Could you make a "Sound like Nolly Getgood without breaking the bank" for us bassists someday ? As usual, love the content !

  • I love that the J pickup is actually a Split Coil J… No wonder this bass sounds so freaking great.
