That's the older finish, which I believe has been reformulated to be more flexible. (There is no difference in the composition of the finish used for satin vs. gloss, only that one is buffed to a shine.)

my 2001 and 2007 are both gloss, neither has any finish degradation of any kind, aside from a few swirls and dings from gigging
i love their glossy finishes and would not hesitate to get another in gloss
That would be quite the news
much nicer thought than closing shop…which is just an intrusive thought, I’m sure they are up and running. Facebook posts look current till 5 days ago if that counts for anything.
Eeek! If they let the domain lapse or there's a problem with the server, that could mean issues with email too.
Hopefully this gets fixed real soon.
Meanwhile we can enjoy this demo that came online a few days ago, that one bass sold on TB this year to be flipped at twice the price (
)But sounds great!
zonguitars.com registry was updated last October and expires in 2026. So the domain hasn't lapsed. It doesn't say who owns it but it's paid up.

I just went looking for the sale on this but didn't find it. Did it sell here originally and then get flipped somewhere else?
It was also a quick reminder to me that used Zon prices are all over the map.
The seller has it listed on facebook only (Angel Dust guitar something.. )
Anyhow it's cool one with the pickups s bit in the back, great tones
Quoting someone 8 months for a build and failing to deliver within a time frame of many many years is 100% ripping people off.
What would escape this definition requires that the money be refunded, and then recollected upon delivery if the build.
This is ridiculous…
I do believe Rumblefisher is still waiting!!!!
If I remember correctly I think he was suppose to take delivery of his bass last month from Zon but apparently he didn't, I'm wishing him the best that he gets his bass soon.
Imo, his money should have been refunded years ago with the option to purchase the bass when completed.
I really can’t see how anyone could give Zon a penny if they have knowledge of the grossly unethical treatment Rumblefish has endured.
