I play a J bass and was looking for an an active MM type of sound without breaking the bank. This is a great bass forget the “for the money” qualifier. Very happy played great out of the box. Thomann service excellent as always.

A fantastic bass - especially for the price
Rob the Bassist 16.03.2026
Decided to pull the trigger on a stingray style bass, and I'm so glad I went for the Z3. The 3 band EQ powered by 18V gives you loads of tone shaping options, and the push/pull bypass gives me peace of mind that I'll never be caught short during a gig (the bass sounds great in passive too, but I always use it in active). I'd say the general tone is quite clean and modern, a bit less 'woody' than the Sterling basses I've heard. Perfect for me.

The neck isn't exactly narrow, but I wouldn't say it was uncomfortably wide either, it is quite 'shallow' so not at all like a baseball bat! In combination with the rolled fretboard edges it's a very very comfortable neck to play.

I've heard some negative things online about the quality of tuners on the bass, but to me they are absolutely fine, and I won't be replacing them. The lower horn is short, but I've not had any issues with that - it's never slipped off my leg while playing.

My only issue is that the bass arrived with quite a bit of fret sprout and some dings on the fretboard, this is why I can't give a perfect score for quality. Thomann quickly rectified the issue, and the one they re-sent is an absolute dream. It's light, feels good, looks good, and sounds good. If you're in the market for a stingray style bass I would absolutely recommend this. Honestly if someone told me this bass was twice the price it actually is I would have belived them.

Sounds better than my USA Stingray
Warren freeman 16.07.2025
This is a really great bass. Sire has impressed me yet again. Although the tuners weren't great, I got in touch with Thomann and they suggested Schaller tuners. So I bought them, put them on,...and BOOM! This is one of the best basses I have ever owned. The neck feels amazing, and the tone is incredible.
If I had spent 4 times the price for this bass, I would still be happy.
Grab one at this price while you can.

frett issue

The frets protrude, which shouldn't be the case for a 450 euro instrument.
