I wish it was a Wal but sadly the prices on those are so high these days. This a Wal tribute bass built by Octave Guitars in California that is pretty much an exact clone at probably a third of the price so it really is a fantastic bass.

@@joeherbert7555 Right? There is no way I could ever come up with a line that would come even close to that. Genius bass line that he wrote.

@@AllAboutBasses one thing you can’t tell is the back of the neck is painted the same color as the headstock. It’s kind of interesting to see in person but I totally get that some might not be a fan and respect that.

@@austinburns4213 I was really surprised how much control over the tone the mid knob has. I was really able to get some great tones just by boosting or cutting and then adjusting the frequency knob which was very nice. The bass knob is very sensitive so I only boosted it a slight bit or I would have had to lower the input gain on my sound interface but adjusting lower mids really helped to tame a lot of that.

They seem to be really behind on these 2024 models. I think I ordered this one in January of 2024 if I am not mistaken or maybe early February and it just came so I was surprised it took that long.

@@delucajohn2000I’m pretty sure they had a dispute with Musicman. I noticed that the first reveal of the Z’s had the 3+1 or 4+1 headstock, but now that they’re released the 4 strings are just straight across

Sadly it is not the lightest bass. I just checked on my bathroom scale and it is a little over 10 pounds which looks to convert to 4.6 kilos. Since this one is ash, that might make it heavier so the alder ones could possibly be lighter.

@@delucajohn2000 Thanks a lot, that's great to know. Maybe not a deal breaker for some if sitting down.

That's why we've got a dremel! :)

I admit I am not a very big slap bass player but the neck pickup didn't seem like it got in the way. When i do slap, I hit closer to the neck so it could be different for others.

I was very surprised the natural finish was more but it does have an ash body where the colored ones seem to be alder which I guess is why they could be charging more. I have heard there are some shortages with ash so that might be why they are charging more but that really is a guess on my side.

The natural comes with a roasted neck.

@@Kutamitasa there's no natural with the Z3 unfort, which really sucks

@@Kutamitasa Oh i had no idea. I probably should have read the specs but had always wanted a Stingray type bass with a natural finish so that was the one I preordered.

+100 = ash body and roasted neck.

It's a riff from a Clutch song called (In the Wake of) The Swollen Goat, LOL. Now that you point it out though, it definitely sounds like it could be Rage riff as well.

I think you mean "bombtrack" 3:00

@@NOLA-BASS thank you so much!!

I had this one built for me by a builder named Octave Guitars but I believe he does use a custom version of the Lusithand Double NFP as well as the Turner pickups. The tones this bass can get are pretty much limitless so I am sure yours sounds just as good as this one.

@@NOLA-BASS ha! You picked a great one!

@@delucajohn2000 It sounds great in the clip. Were you using both pickups or just the 1 P?

@@NOLA-BASS for this one, I used both pickups.

Thanks dude!

The action is really good on this bass and I was very surprised at how low I could get it. I am mainly a fingers player with a very light touch so I was able to get the action extremely low and didn't notice any fret buzz at all when I set the bass up to my liking. The setup and Quality Control seems really good on these.

Are you saying I have hit booty warrior status?? LOL
