I know it's a cliche to say this, but . . . it pains me.

This is a completely original 1999 Zon Sonus 8 string in transparent red (called 'Sienna Red' at the time). I am the original owner. Joe Zon and I had several conversations about this bass back in 98. I wanted something super light and resonant. He delivered. This bass is crazy light - 7.9 pounds on my digital scale! It is also, as promised, incredibly resonant and alive. If you've been looking for an 8 string to play the rock and roll music I hear the kids are into these days, look no further!

I've only ever played an eight string once -- it was a used Hamer, a bit of a chore to play, but almost unbelievably fun. This one looks like it would be a good time. Really pretty, too.

Hard to tell from the pics, but are those independently adjustable saddles for the octave and bass strings?

Yes indeed - each saddle is fully adjustable for intonation and height.

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

OK - all PMs answered - still available . . . for now!!
