Very nice!

 

[Mulebagger]

This is the piece of Koa being used for my Legacy Elite 6 string that Joe Zon picked out for me.
Man I'm so freaking stoked here I can't wait to receive this bass.

That's going to be spectacular

 

[kesslari]

Wow that's a beautiful fretless sound! It's hard to see because your hand is over the pickups but does that zon just have 1 pickup?

Thank you! She has 2 pickups...

Gwangi, that is an astounding piece of koa!

You are correct sir, actually Tom I got the idea for my Legacy Elite 6 string from you when first posted the pic of your Koa top a few pages back and I ask you what your specs where regarding your 4 string, I loved the piece of Koa you had I had to ask if it was possible getting a piece of Koa as nice as yours adleast for my 6 string.
Zon said they still had the same board they got yours from left so they sent a pic over for me to check out and I said most definitely will work for me.
So Tom basically I ordered a Legacy Elite 6 string w/ Gallery Grade Koa and matching headstock and Ziricote tone plate but in a 6 string version with no detuner on the E string so thank you Tom for basically finding my vision with this bass and this being my first Zon bass also.

 

[Mulebagger]

You boys have some great taste. The Legacy Series are fantastic basses. Generally I prefer a longer upper horn like on the Sonus series. I wonder if Joe would build a set neck Sonus

 

[gwangi]

Thank you Mulebagger and Vic for the kind words, I'm really freaking out here since I received the photo of the top Joe Zon picked out for me for this bass, I find out next week on some form of timeline when my bass will get delivered.

 

[kesslari]

Mulebagger - my bass, which is Sonus-based, is set neck. 'cos I asked.

That's sweet. Yeah, Joe is really accommodating with custom features. I bet that adds a lot to the fretless punch

Great minds think alike, my friend!

Here's Michael Manring playing a set neck Sonus:

 

[golower]

Those are going to be some rich basses. Cant go wrong with koa for tone .They are going to stomp it!

 

[ehque]

If any of you guys hear of a Zon 6 string available please let me know.



Looking for a TJ6 but interested in other Zon 6 strings as well.



Thanks

I have a 6 string Zon Sonus Custom that I'm trying to get rid of. I'll drop the details here.

You can check out the details of the bass here and tell me what you think.

I've not played it much since I got my Vinny6.

 

[golower]

Angus that bass has thirty six frets and you can access them all. Does joe make a thirty seven fret thirty five inch scale of that?.....just kidding.Cool bass!

What's the spacing on your Sonus and Vinny? I'm looking to get another one and selling / trading my Fodera Emperor...
