I did change it slightly.
I used to have two volumes that were push/pull pots selecting single coil/ series humbucker.
My pickups have two separate singles in each, so I rewired it w a 3 way mini toggle for each pickup: north single/ series HB/south single.
So now it is master vol/ blend/ mid push pull/ stack bass/ treble. ( I still have to buy and install a volume pot ). For now I've been running wo it. I never use it on a gig anyhow so it hasn't been an issue. In its current setup I've got the singles in the 70s position selected. The mini toggles are still in the control cavity.

Running a TH500 flat into a BagEnd D10BXD. The bass was also flat with the pickups centered.
The iPhone can't catch the depth of the sound as well as in person. But it gives the general idea. This bass sounds marvelous flat. Just love it!!

Ok, I know I am repeating myself yet again, but I urge you to listen to "Impermanent Resonance". The songwriting, performance and production/mixing are all incredible. Every song has a memorable hook, whether it is a ballad, riff- or groove based.
EDIT: the relation to the topic being that Zon basses were played on the entire album

I only had a few moments to play it before having to get back on the road.
In full disclosure, almost as a rule, if its a "foreign" bass relative to a manufacturers USA builds, I buy used. And I did such here. I payed $900 delivered from Bass San Diego including a ZON gig bag.
Construction and fit & finish seem quite good. The top is attractive but, well it's sorta cheap looking upon closer inspection. The Bass Lines p/u's along with whatever pre' that's installed sound very powerful. The bass came equipped with a new set of flats, but I'm not sure which brand. Also, though not inspected closely, the tuners look flimsy.
The bass is very comfortable with no neck dive, and the neck is extremely comfortable to play. I will most likely take this on hired gun gigs when I get to know her a bit better. This is no Sonus 5, but its also quite a bit cheaper. Frankly, I would pay 2X what I payed for a new one and not feel bad in the least.
More updates when I return home and can properly put it through its paces.
Still available at the Kingston Guitar Shop in Ontario:
