Why not a singles person?

Thanks for the response. They look absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the info. Really helpful. Are your basses fretless or fretted?

Thanks, Vic - appreciate the response. Are your pick ups positioned like mine?

Hi friends, I am pretty new to this site so I thought I would chip in about my experience with Joe Zon and also with the bass itself. I have noticed some criticism about the long process time that some have experienced from ordering to getting a bass from Zon's magical laboratory. That must be...

Hi Zon warriors, I think it's time for me to also add to the mix. Here are a couple of pics of my fairly new dream bass. It's a Sonus Special 5 string, lefty (duh!), ash body w bubinga top, fretless with gloss body finish and wenge tone plate. And.its.perfect! I have tried my hands on a few...

No, no texture at all and they don't affect the sense or playability of the bass whatsoever. Its purely an aesthetic issue. I was still just wondering, though, what caused them to appear. A renowned Danish luthier (Jakob Reitzer) argued that it might have occurred during the final work on the...

Thanks for the reply - it makes a lot of sense. However, if you see the lines on my fingerboard (to me), the lines look different. They look as if they were made during the coating. But since the fret lines are on top of them, I thought that they would be in the phenowood. But maybe its actually...

Thanks for the reply! I am really puzzled about the hum/noise that you both mention. I wonder if JZ has done something about the electronics... I just listened to the bass through headphones and there is literally no noise at all (or my middleaged ears are just fooling me - also a...

Thanks for your quick reply! I actually forgot to mention that I took the bass to a great Danish luthier (after having consulted Joe Zon) to check whether there might be a small un-evenness in the finish. And he did find that it had a bump near the end of the fingerboard. But even after having...

Hi all, New to this forum - thanks for all the great discussions! I got my Zon Special 5-string (left-handed) in November last year - and am through the roof about it - the playability, the tone, the beauty... It's an amazing piece of art. As you might notice from the pic, I asked for fret...
