Can't seem to know who makes them for Zon. I never called Zon but everyone I ask has no idea. I think they sound kind of nice. They are bright and last a fairly long time. I had used them before on my Sadowsky 5. Recently I picked up a Alleva Coppolo LM5 which sounds Unbelievable. But I am curious about there strings. I don't think they themselves make them. Got to be one of the few companies that do.

Who makes ZON Strings

I was wondering the same. I've tried a set from jivesound.com and the nickel set sounds really punchy.
I have bought Zon nickels for my F bass for years. Jimmy Cappollo recommended them about 8 years ago. I guess he has strings made for him now. I found a leftover set that I used the EADG for my new Jazz and it sounds fantastic. I used DR Lo-Riders on my Warwick Thumb, and Spector BO 5. I recently tried a set of Blue Steels, like em, but the Bs are NG. They even sent me a replacement B and I had to put my old DR B back on. I would use the Nickel Zons on any vintage type bass.
