@tech21nyc dUg pedal demo'ed with a Sonus bass. Killer sounding combo.

Oh my my.... oh hell yes...... I got me a Zon Fret...less!

FINALLY!!!!! After a great trade from a wonderful TB'r I finally have scored a Zon fretless. I have had one Zon in my life and it was a very lightweight burpy four string but I have always wanted a Zon 5 string fretless..... Well low and behold I got a 2006 Sonus 5 Fretless. It came with black nylon strings.... not really my thing... and I have had gigs and family stuff since I got it this weekend so last night after work I was able to put a set of Dunlop Super Bright Nickel light gauge strangs on it.... and I could barely put it down and go to bed. I am so thrilled. Looking forward to playing this beauty on a few projects this fall. So glad to finally be part of the crew....

Thanks

Well, I just recently picked up a brand new Zon Legacy Standard 5, and I have to say it is the very best import bass that I have EVER owned or played!!!

Frets are excellent (not one buzzing fret), really solid feel and not too heavy, mine weighs 9 pounds even, and the new Aguilar DCB pickups sound outstanding!

Highly recommended!!!

How would you describe the tone? The one I’m looking at has the Duncan pickups.

Thanks

Well I'll be honest with you, I don't think the older ones with Duncan pickups will compare to a new one.

Tone is warm and articulate with the DCBs!

I would get the newer model, and not the older one.

Is the neck on these 3 piece maple?

 

[packrat]

Hm. I haven’t been able to get hold of customer service with an “email mailbox” full message. Anyone had any luck recently?

Thanks

I believe it is one piece maple, but the headstock has a laminate on it.

Here is a new one for sale with pics -

Best thing to do is call the shop!

Leave a voicemail if they don't answer.

If you love your Wal, my suggestion - there's no hurry. No babies will die if you don't buy a Zon this week. Make time to get to where you can play one. You're talking two big decisions - selling a Wal and buying a Zon.

Or just do what I did - Never played a Zon in my life & ordered a Sonus V via mail order. Then also got a Sonus Special 4 string

 

[Maiden Bass]

FYI if you are ordering a new Zon 4 string and want it set up and tuned BEAD, you can contact the factory and request it!

I have a BEAD 4 string Legacy Elite coming soon!

Most bass builders don't offer this option for some reason, but you can get it with a Zon!

 

[Maiden Bass]

I will be making a trip to the new Zon factory later this month to pick up my new Legacy Elite 4 (BEAD)!

Specs include gloss black finish over Poplar body, switchable dual/single pickups, and Luminlay inlays!

Very excited and hopefully I will get some good pics to post on here!

Has anyone received a new Zon recently?
If so can you please post some pics!

Congratulations. When did you order it?

Congratulations. When did you order it?

Thanks! Just recently!

I ordered a 5 string about 1 1/2 years ago, but was just able to get in line for a 4 string that became available!

Recently decided to switch back to 4, but tuned and set up BEAD.

Sounds like a sweet build, can't wait for your pics. My headless Sonus 519 has big bartolini soaps that are switchable dual/single and I love 'em: so versatile.

Mine's matte black. Got it back in March and I've posted pics, but I'd love to see other builds.


OK, one more:
