Composed of Alnico magnets and US-made coils, the Z7’s MM humbucking pickup provides a powerful vintage bass tone full of depth, power and resonance. The Z7 also features a Sire J pickup in the neck position with a growl which perfectly compliments the fatness of the MM humbucker. With the Z7’s versatile blend control and powerful preamp, it's easy to dial in the perfect bass tone for any style of music.
Installed throughout the Z7 range of bass guitars, the Marcus Miller Heritage-3 (with mid-frequency control) is an active 3-band preamp for shaping a clean audio balance from the instrument. This preamp includes volume/tone, blender, treble, bass and middle-frequency controls to attain virtually any desired audio output.
All Marcus Miller Z7 bass models feature the new Sire Z body shape, with a rounded forearm contour that was inspired by the defined lower cutaway of iconic bass guitars from the 1970s. Crafted from either Swamp Ash or Alder, the Z7 is sure to complement the look and sound requirements of both traditional and modern players.
