Official Zon Club Part 2

[Angus]

Look at Lakland - they changed to making their own p'ups and I've read very few complaints (though I love the barts in *my* lakland) - So why not Zon (but I love the Bart soapbars in my Sonus 5...)

No time- that's a huge undertaking.

DR fatbeams. I find hi-beams too zingy; Fatbeams remind me of old Roto '66's but last longer and don't have the rough feel.

Thanks! Just got a set of Dunlop Nickels, will put them next week...

4) I agree with this. Everytime I've called. Especially speaking with Joe but also Martin, they take time out to answer all questions in detail. Very good in that regard.

Score!

Hey Jon... here you go. A lot of this is from the ad.

* Built last July
* Alder body with Myrtle top - matching headstock.
* Pickups are placed just a little closer to the bridge to give it added punch.
* The controls are volume, blend and stacked bass/treble.
* It does not have a mid-range control because the pickup placement makes it unnecessary.

I talked to Joe about it before jumping on it and he says it has a very unique voice. VERY Jaco-ish with the bridge solo'd and very jazz-bass-ish with the neck pickup soloed.

The NAMM show was particularly "expensive" for me this year. I'm starting a new project with Joe. That's all I'm saying for now, but once some selections have been made, I'll share pics as soon as I have them.

Film at 11... sorta'...

Somehow I knew that bass would get your attention when I saw it posted in the TB classifieds.
Congrats.

Thanks!

I've been contemplating a TJ4 for awhile now, and I just happened upon it. I love when that happens.

Sounds very interesting.
I`ll surely follow you with a custom Vinny next year.

 

[LeonD]

If you get a TJ6, you'll have a whole set.

Congratulations.

Thanks Leon! What's your schedule like for the end of next week? Fred's interested in trying out my Streamliner too. PM or email me.

Beautiful!!! Gotta love having 26 frets...

Real sweet bass!

 

[Angus]

Nice, AJ. That's a "never-really-became-but-was-intended-to-be-Damian-Erskine-signature". I love that setup.

 

[Angus]

These may not have been taken by me. Too bad there are none of the sapwood on the back.

 

[kesslari]

I swear, Chris, that looks like one of those chocolate cream cheese cupcakes.
Delicious!

Angus, any idea when Bart is going to get some Vinny pickups to Zon? A bunch of us are slowly losing our minds waiting.

I know they had issues. I just want to know when.

Thanks!

Apparently, I am (through Zon) also waiting for a set of 6-string, radiused, dual coils. For VB-6, if that matters.

Here's some cuts from an album recorded, I believe, entirely on a VB4. Killer tone.

Nice tone, even on my crappy earbuds.
