Specs on New Sig

Hey Ray,

Your new sig bass looks incredible. What are the exact specs on it and how does it compare to the Mosaic series? What's different about it?

Thanks,
-AJ

ZON Ray Riendeau Signature Bass

Thanks AJ
I'm very pleased with the bass, it sounds and looks amazing! It will have a ramp as well (it just wasnt done yet). Here are some specs:

Nice! I called Zon today about it. They just need to get back to me with a price. Sounds great in all the vids I've seen, and having owned about a dozen Zons in the past, I'm confident Joe has nailed what I would have spec'd from him for my next one.

My goal in having a signature bass was to make the best 4 string possible. I wanted a "stealth" look and wanted it to have a great slap & finger tone. I've had several custom ZONs made so this helped in knowing what worked well to reach this goal. Anyways, thanks for your interest. I think you will really dig this bass!!!!

What made you choose the Aguilar pre over the polyfusion?

RR ZON electronics

I don't have a specific answer for you other than I just prefer the marriage of the Bartolinis with the Aggy preamp. I have a few basses with the same electronics and that sound really works well for what I like to hear.
