Zon "Vinny" VB-4... *last reduction*.. SPF

Sign in to disble this ad
-I have my eye on something and this needs to go to make it happen. This will be the last reduction. If the Vinny doesn't go at this price I'll keep it and enjoy it .-

Zon VB-4, swamp ash body, natural satin finish- shows no fingerprints! Phenowood board and composite neck. This is an older one so it has the set neck not the current bolt on. Zon is using bolt on's now to keep manufacturing costs down, but they don't have the sleek feel of the neck joint of the older ones like this one. Optional (upgrade) Black hardware. Comes w/ factory Zon gigbag and owner's manual. I need to off some gear. This is a super nice, super rare, responsive, toneful bass. To build a Vinny similar to this would cost you $2150, and even then it would be the bolt on model rather than the set neck. The Vinny uses regular type strings; you do not have to track down double ball strings or any special type string. You can use any regular string type you choose.

There are a few light player's type marks on the back from a previous owner; could be from a shirt button or something similar. They are small and not deep like a belt buckle would cause. Hard to see with the satin finish. Couple of scuffs to the gigbag, but nothing that impairs the function at all. Zippers are all good.

Weight is 8lbs 1oz. More pics at website below.

Friends, this is the deal of the century on a Vinny! I'd buy this bass in heartbeat if I didn't already have my 5-string Vinny! Somebody should jump on this!
