Official Zon Club Part 5

[Fuzzbass]

Lovely. Nice rig, too. Ranier amp? On what cab?

Thanks! Both head and cab are from Reiner Amplification. Cab is a sealed 2x12 with mid driver. Weight is in the low fifties, which is reasonable considering that the woofers are ceramic.

The 2x12 is one of two bass cab designs that Jonathan finalized this year, but he's a one man shop and currently focused on his new 1200w hybrid amp, so he won't be manufacturing cabs for awhile.

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

Haha.

Enjoy the new bass when you pick it up!

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!

Actually for me I just recently ordered a 2nd Legacy Elite VI, I have a Legacy Elite VI that Zon built for me in 2014 that I just freak out on.

Is there a Harry's Hofbrau in Livermore?

 

[Angus]

Hahaha I miss Hofbrau, even though I was 100% always the youngest person there.

Thanks, Tom.

is the Zon bass still using polyfusion eq these days?

Yes, I believe so. I have 2 Legacy Elite's on order right now and I believe that they will both have Bart pickups with the Polyfusion Pre-amp.

What’s the wait time ona custom one now?

 

[Fuzzbass]

What’s the wait time ona custom one now?

My custom turned out to be a 9 month gestation, only slightly longer than the 8 month ETA, but some have waited (or have been waiting) a LOT longer. I have no idea what the average wait time is. Just saying that I'm aware of some drastic exceptions.

Maybe that's built into the price of that e-bay sale: it's a completed bass, so no worry about extended delays in the build queue.

i could be wrong, but i think most of the really long wait times were before and during the shop move? seems like it's the more usual year or less these days?
