Bulletin: Sire Z-bird to be released just in time for Christmas!
I’m already starting to pick some carrots for the thread about whether the Z3 sounds like a StingRay, sounds better than a StingRay, StingRays are overpriced or Leo Fender used a time machine to travel to NAMM 2024 where he got the idea for the StingRay.
Calling Dr. Cheese!

Weird idea for a name in 2024.

There’s quite a quite a few reports of QC issues with the sterlings. So if somebody can design a better mousetrap why not?
Besides people keep coming out with fender clones. Why not one more sting ray imitator?
Already ordered a z7 5 string. Sweetwater said they should be here by summer.
There's a thread running elsewhere about one, two, and three pup basses. I'm curious about the blue (Dingwall?) pictured above. With three pickups that close together, doesn't that negate the separation I always though was required to get much tonal difference between pickups?
Dingwalls use a four-way PU selector switch. Typically, you get neck PU and bridge PU at positions one and four, and a "Jazz" combination of neck and bridge in parallel as well as a "MM" combo of bridge and middle in series. Plenty different in tone, and as you can see, only one of those positions uses two PUs that are right next to each other - by basically thinking of them as two coils of one PU, if that makes sense.
Cease and desist coming from Sterling Ball shortly. EBMM has a trademark on the 3+1 headstock. They shouldn't, but they do.
To me at least, they definitely do look better as moving pictures:
We‘ll see how this develops.

I'm more interested in that Sire F-series singlecut in that video @wavemaker posted.
This, I like: Sire Marcus Miller F10 5-String

I don't love it. I don't hate it. It does come across as a Stingray/Lakland hybrid. It could grow on me, but doesn't give me any GAS.
It has enough of the Stingray features and looks that it would not surprise me if they receive a call from EBMM's legal department.
