Zon soundclips request.

Hi everybody!

I'm looking for soundclips, recordings, live songs, songs that contain either a Zon bass solo/in a mix.

Especially a Sonus Special 4/5-string.

I've thoroughly searched TalkBass, didn't find anything here.
Also checked YouTube, but the videos there were of poor quality or Michael Manring with his crazy (in a good way) Hyperbass.

Thanks in advance!
 
Sonus Custom 5, direct to hard disk from a cafe walter (just to make it stereo) through a standard soundblaster card. No effects or EQ.

All zons sound fantastic.
 
Here are two soundclips from my old Zon Sonus 6 with Bart soapbars. The first one includes a bit of the B string. The tone of it was excellent- the issue was that to get that super-clean, punchy sound, you gave up the bit of leeway a warmer tone gives you- every slight vibration or finger fumble would really ring out :p

I just bought a special 5 ... so give me a week or so and I'll record you some clips.

Any requests?

Awesome! Was it by any chance the one in the classifieds? Congratulations none the less.:bassist:

As for requests, I'd really like to hear how the open B-string and notes on it up to E sound. It would also be interesting to hear how it sounds when played with a strong attack. All of the above with pickup pan centered!
 
Check out Damian Erskine's website for some great songs and samples featuring his Zon. Here is the link:

His instructional video on gospelchops.com is excellent!!! So is his CD!!!


A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste! :cool:
 
I think this clip may be a TBer - cant remember, but i so fell in love with the tone that i saved it to my PC

Its a Zon Sonus lightwave fretless - redorded to PC and the only additive is a SABBDI

I've got the bass but I'm waiting for the strings I want on it to arrive. I finally figured out that Zon necks change relief with string guage, so I ordered some DR hi beam lights to help drop it down.

Right now its got some labellas on it that I tuned down to low A ... sounds gnarly!
