This lefty Z7-5 is a real player's bass – the swamp ash gives it a lively, open sound, while the roasted maple neck makes it a joy to play. The Sire pickups and Marcus Miller preamp combo are surprisingly versatile, covering everything from funky slap to smooth, round tones. It's a fantastic choice for gigging musicians who want quality and a great feel without a premium-priced tag.
