NAMM 2007 Pics!!

Is that pickup configuration on the 4 string zon available yet/soon/does it have a specific model name?

I believe that's a Sonus 4/2. They made a change from the old Duncans at some point in the last couple years. I've seen others like that.

That would be good news. Does that one have an alder body then? Doesnt look like it to me, so it is probably a customized one for NAMM.

I can definitely see myself saving up for a Sonus 4/2 fretless

That one is extra-NAMM-fancy. It has a spalted alder body.

Some videos I dug up on Youtube. Anyone got anymore?

By any chance, would you know whether zon offers burled or spalted maple tops on 4/2's. The site states 'figured maple top', which doesnt necesarily mean quilted, right? I am not a fan of quilt usually.

Sure. Zon will do virtually any top they can get on any model. I think it might be an upgrade on the 4/2. The standard figured maple top is sort of a low grade figure. But you can get almost anything. In fact someone on here recently bought a 5/2 with a Bocate top.

 

[Figjam]

Gotcha. And are the prices on Zons 'build an instrument' the list price or essentially what you would pay? Something tells me it would cost me $3000-$4000 actual retail cost.

 

[bassjigga]

Oh those are definitely retail prices. You would get about 25-30% off those prices through the dealer, depending on who you talk to. The online calculator might be out of date though. The prices may have gone up slightly for 2007.

I can't stand the sound of just piezo's.

Nice Warrior David Karns was playing. I'm biased.

Man, Dave is a phenomenal player, and a super nice guy. I love that two-hand hammer-on thing he does up in 1st position - he liked to do that when cranked up through Phil's cabs!

And how about the Phil Jones neo cabs? Man, they sounded great! I didn't know that he would have a whole line of neo cabs available (though I knew to expect the Flight Case), and I was very impressed.

Tom.

That was killer. Can't wait to get home and try that out! I don't have any PJB stuff, but Warrior through EA will be just fine!

David Karns (Holy chops, Batman!)

Makes me wish I lived in St. Louis. I'd SO be his student!!!! Yeah, really really nice guy too, I bet he'd be a great teacher, and he's got a STRONG sense of real groove... not just a chop master. Diggin' it. Check his site. You WILL be impressed, and there's some cool shots of a killer PJ rig.

Damn. I'm jealous. The kid is my age and a monster!
