He doesn't own any of them anymore (I'm pretty sure). He had three made. They were the Todd Johnson body, but with the bridge/mid pickups. I think his 4 and fretless 5 had the "Damian Erskine" signature name on it- the 6 didn't I'm pretty sure. It never really made it beyond that point because he then switched to Skjold.

That 4 string was one of my favorite Zons!!!

Love it. I've already put a ramp on it. I'm waiting for some new string to arrive- I'll put up some clips once it's set up. It's going to be designated as an entirely different kind of instrument than my normal basses. My other basses have a more mellow/deep sound to them and are six-strings with high tension medium gauge strings. The Vinny will be the first 4-string I've owned in years, and I'm going to put some low tension light gauge Hi Beams on it. It's a crazy punchy bass.

Just started ripping on this...It's a total game-changer.
Custom Sonus, Alder body, Katalox top.

I asked them to move the input jack a bit closer to the strap button...ask and thou shalt receive.

Cool. That's a beautiful, understated, dark piece of katalox. Is the back painted black? It's hard to tell, but alder isn't that dark obviously.

The new bridges are looking really nice- I like them much better than the previous units.

It's too bad he's out of the katalox I gave him- that stuff was insaaaane.

Beautiful bass!!! When I ordered my Sonus, Martin offered the option of putting the pots inside the cavity just like yours and I said no, now I regret not doing it because most of the time I use it completely flat...
