Which fretless Zon Sonus 5?

[taylor16]

Made the decision to put an order in for a Zon Sonus fretless 5 string. I don't have the opportunity to try the different models out in person - I naturally tend to the pickup location with the 5/1. Any recommendations?

Sonus special, hands down!

Any particular reason? I noticed that some are 34" and others 35". Are the B strings comparable between the two versions?

The sonus special is well known as a fantastic fretless bass mostly because of the unique pick up placement and the bubinga top, both of which yield a great mid rangey/forward fretless tone. I've never felt like the 34 inch b string of a Zon was lacking but some prefer the 35"
