Here we have a beautiful Zon Sonus 519 built in 2004. Set up with new Dunlop Nickels, a new battery and nice low action, she is ready to gig.
The tone and sustain on this instrument is amazing. Tight and focused, she sounds huge and full. I see only one small mark by the B side of the bridge so the finish is in excellent shape. Free pickup in Fort Myers FL or negotiated UPS ground shipping ConUS.
Ash body
Spalted maple top
Gloss finish
Composite neck
Phonowood Fingerboard
No truss rod
Bartolini single coils pickups
Bart 3 band pre with
3 way mid selector
35” scale
22 frets
19mm spacing
10lbs
Hard Shell case
Here’s a quote from Zon about their necks and fingerboards;
What are the advantages of the composite neck on the Zon basses?
The benefits of our composite neck are that it is extremely stable and will not warp or twist like wood. This means that no adjustments are required and your bass will remain playing consistently great for years to come. Furthermore, these materials enhance the instrument's sound, the bass has better definition, cutting clarity, and attack, and every note across the entire fingerboard is even in sustain and volume, without any dead spots.
The fingerboard is called phenowood, which is actually wood (usually birch) that has been impregnated with a phenolic resin. Layers of wood are compressed under heat and pressure, resulting in a material similar to ebony in hardness and appearance, yet it is much more stable.
