I have too many basses, and since this one does not get much play time, it needs a new home. Plus i am moving so need to clean excess gear

Asking $1200.00 + shipping

It has a single Seymour duncan pickup, with a Bart preamp. Active electronics, 17mm string spacing, controls are Master volume and Bass/treble stack boost. There is also a internal mid knob if you need to adjust it.

+ zon gig bag

Damn, if that were 34" scale, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Great bass, great price. This should go quickly.

I assumed my 5/1 was 35" scale due to Zon's website, but it always felt the same as my Zon fretless, and my Zon custom 5.
I just measured both my Custom 5, and the 5/1 they are both the exact same thus 34"

... I'll verify this with Joe Zon, the more recent Sonus 5/1's must be 35" this one is not.
Also the neck is a bit slimmer on the 5/1 it's an extremely fast neck

Could you just measure from the nut to the 12th fret? Should be 17" for 34" scale. Let me know...very interested.

[drumsnbass]

this should be 34" as it has 24 frets. the 35" tend to have 22 frets...

[bassjamn]

Sure...*measuring*

Yup, exactly the same on both 17" from nut to 12th fret

Would you ship this over the atlantic to Sweden? I'd cover the extras.

This bass really seems like a "plug and play" bass, and at the same time has a really classy look!

I'm spending $$ on building a new computer...... grrrrrr..... if i could do 2 payments of $600.. i would take it right off your hands

D

any cases that may come with the bass? I'm looking for a Sonus 5

Edit: nvm saw the gig bag included.. very interested..

[DarkMazda]

btw, checked out the clip "awake" sounds very good!! and some interesting drinking pics from japan. i still have to go visit japan.. haven't been to my 'home' country in 13-14 years

If I had a spare $1,200, I would pick up that Zon and call it day. It looks just that good.
