Volume Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) It pains me to do this, but... up for very reluctant sale is my gorgeous Zon 5. A versatile, gorgeous-sounding instrument - crystal clear, crisp... but also capable of really thuddy, thick low end... an absolutely stunning bass, and one which I'm sure to regret selling - however, I need a maple-boarded 4-string for my current project... ideally something like a Limelight P or J... [attachment=221031:Zon (1).JPG] It's not an old bass... it has been treated very carefully, and with a lot of love. It comes with a Zon softcase - and it will be packed super-securely for shipping - or, if you're local to Nottingham, by all means drop-in and pick it up. [attachment=221032:Zon (2).JPG] [attachment=221033:Zon (3).JPG] It's so new that I haven't even removed the plastic coverings from the battery compartment on the back! There isn't a mark on this bass - you'd have to look very hard indeed to tell that it's not brand new.

Volume Posted June 10, 2016 Author Posted June 10, 2016 [b]The bass weighs 4.3kg (I was asked by PM, but may as well make it public knowledge) It has a relatively thin neck for a five... plays beautifully... amazing tone, very easy to play Rich[/b]

Nick Reed Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Hi Rich, I'm interested in the Zon if you still have it. Could you possibly find out cost to courier to Exeter, Devon. Many thanks, Nick
