Marcus Miller Z7-4 3-Tone Sunburst

I have always loved the sound of a Ray, so this bass with all it's features and great sound really appealed to me, especially given the price. When It arrived I was very impressed with the fit and finish of the bass. It is easily on a par with my other, more expensive guitars (2 Revstars, a RSS20, RS702B and a Cort X500). It's flawless and fret are nice and polished with nice ends that wont cut your hands. The action was a bit high at first, but some truss rod and bridge adjustment made it better, though not super low. The sound was slightly muddy when I first plugged in, but lowering the pickups sorted that out too. I bought the bass mainly for the humbucker. In fact, I originally was looking at getting a Z3, but none of the colours really appealed to me, so went for the Z7 instead in 3-tone sunburst - which looks gorgeous! What surprised me is how great the J-style neck pickup sounds. It sounds beautiful and will definitely get used, so that adds to the versatility of the bass. The middle position as well has a great, scooped Marcus Miller like tone. The mid frequency sweep has a very wide range, and with plenty of gain to add or subtract, so this again, adds a lot of versatility . I really couldn't be happier with the bass. I may do a fret level at some point to try and get the action even lower, but honestly, it's fine the way it is. I would highly recommend to anyone. It is a pro instrument as far as I am concerned. Well done Sire.
