FS: 1990 Zeta Prism Unlined Fretless 4 - Rare!

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm offering up my very cool and rather rare unlined Zeta Prism fretless 4 to help offset some growing bills on the home front.

This a great playing and VERY nice sounding fretless bass made by the same company that is world famous for their electric violins and cellos. Using special design piezo saddles this bass has more great tones than you would ever suspect. I have attached a few scans from the original owners manual that explain the electronics much better than I can. Suffice to say that this bass can deliver a deep floor shattering dub low end as well and glass like highs and virtually everything in between. Without a doubt it has more tone possibilities than any bass I have owned.

It's finished in a glossy jet black with a beautiful ebony board that looks brand new. The headstock is perhaps the most unique and unusual feature of this bass. It's space age design using aluminum and graphite is a true work of art. Anyone looking for a bass that is understated, yet will draw lot's of attention, this is the one. Whenever I have played this bass out I am always asked about it.

The are a couple of minor impressions in the body and a small chip on the headstock but it's in amazing overall shape for a 20 year old instrument. Believe it or not, it still has the plastic on the control cavity cover!

It's physically very lightweight weighing in at only 8.5 lbs. String spacing is 19mm and the scale length is 34". It comes with a custom fitted lightweight case along the lines of a Sadowsky Zero-G soft case.

This bass plays and sounds great!

SOLD!Asking only $975.00 shipped and insured in the Continental US.

Not really interested in trades! All reasonable cash offers will be considered.

Dang Spencer, that is awesome! Looks like it could be used for jousting or at the very least you could poke out the eye of a heckling drunk. That is just too cool.

Yeah, it's a really cool looking instrument for sure. However the truly amazing thing is how it sounds. It has monster fretless tone. I've never heard a fretless that could sound like this one. It's off the tonal scale IMO!

Still loving your old Kinal SKB-5 Bob, thanks again for that one!

I'm glad it found a good home. Here's a bump for a wicked looking bass.
