Official Zon Club Part 5

[sonicnuance]

I feel like that kid on the old Datsun commercials (remember those?) reading this thread wishing I had a Zon

"someday.... someday"

 

[basschanges]

ARGGHH hahaha, some more (hopefully tiny) delays. I'm so close! Anyone have clips of a VB4 to sate me for the time being?

 

[basschanges]

tracking number received. Est delivery date this Thursday

 

[Angus]

That's awesome. Congrats!!

 

[basschanges]

That's awesome. Congrats!!

Thanks man. This is the VB...I can't wait until the TJ is done.

 

[Angus]

Hoping mine is nearing the end, too!

Your headless TJ is going to be awesome.

 

[basschanges]

Thanks Angus,

This club and forum in general has been amazing with support.

Chris, what are your specs on your new Zon build?

 

[Angus]

It's not a new order- I think I've brought it up here before. It's a (full spec) Hyperbass that's been on order since...a while. It's a pretty straight forward Hyperbass, with some special woods. Specs and pictures will be forthcoming when that magical day appears.

We've exchanged messages about this bass I think. Can you go into more detail about why the order is delayed? Obviously if it's not something you want to talk about, that's cool.

 

[Angus]

Way too much history to post. It's not an issue- I trust the guys.

 

[basschanges]

It is here, and it is amazing. I called Joe and told him it was the best 4 string bass I've ever played. The precision is uncanny. Pics and videos to come.

"The precision is uncanny" quote is a good way to describe Zon basses. I've yet to find a bass that rivals it's precision and performance

It's unreal. I bought a Zon without playing or seeing any of their basses in person before. From pictures, the Vinny looks like your average boutique level bass. It's not! It's the pinnacle. The finish, the feel of the neck and phenolic fretboard. The whole thing is unreal

YES!!! Totally agree

As much as I like wood (I've got my all wood basses too) there is something special about the performance of the phenolic necks and fingerboards, there is an evenness and response that wood just can't duplicate. You couple that with the craftsmanship and artistry of what Joe does with those materials and you have a product that is synergistically better than the sum of its parts

does anyone know what the current build time for a "standard" bass is and how much of a deposit is required to start a build? Thanks

 

[wellso74]

I received an email from them very quickly! for anyone wanting to know- 6 months and 50% down currently

 

[basschanges]

Ehh.... The 50 percent part is accurate. Just check the forums to see the wait time. One thing is for sure though, if you order anything from them, it will be the best in the business. They're the best electric basses I've ever played

2 imports, Mojo4 and Sonus Classic, and my 1990 Legacy Elite 5..... I really like all three, the imports are surprisingly great!
