graham1945 Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Sorry to say that it is time to move this beauty on, far too good a bass for me to thrash around on! I think it is from 1990, the serial number is 2590593, so correct me if I am wrong. For that age this bass is in an excellent condition, no serious dents and just the usual swirls from regular use. The wood finish is stunning, so much so that I was advised by the previous owner that it appeared on the Zon stand at the NAMM show. I also have a brochure from the period which shows this actual bass. The brochure comes with the bass. It is per the Zon catalogue:- 34" scale, phenolic finger board, Polyfusion ZP-2 active pre amp and specially designed Bartolini dual coil pick ups. Width at nut is 1 and 7/8 and there are 24 frets. That's the technical stuff. There has been a modification, at what stage I don't know, but it has been fitted with kneck side lights which I think are supplied by a second battery. The job would convince me that it had been added from new, and work perfectly. Great range of tones with a fantastic sound, and great quality B string. It comes in a usable Hiscox case (one clip is a little floppy but works fine). I will include delivery in the UK for this price, but will not ship out of the UK. Meet up within a reasonable distance is preferred, or you can come to sunny Bournemouth to try the bass. Paypal fees will be extra - sorry! Any thing else, please ask. I'm sure Michael Manring will have a clip on You Tube, as I'm afraid I haven't. Cheers, Graham Edited November 12, 2016 by graham1945
Fionn Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 A guy in the "wanted" section is looking for one of these. "Blackparkas", his name is.
RhysP Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Lovely. My Zon Legacy basses were the best basses I ever owned.
graham1945 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Well, I'd rather sell so don't want to swap at this early stage. I don't have anything in mind that I need (I know need shouldn't really come into it), but if there was something slightly out of the ordinary - must be a fiver - try me. By the way, I mailed Zon regarding the s/no and year and got a reply in less than 24 hours! How about that for service? It's from September 1990 Goncalo Alves top Cheers Graham Edited August 16, 2016 by graham1945
ialma Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 I want this so bad it's hard to describe. Does the added switch turn on leds ? Weight ? Neck relief ?
graham1945 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Posted August 18, 2016 Hi, yes the separate mini switch operates the lights. I'll have to get back to you regarding the weight, but it's never been an issue, unlike a couple of my other basses. Not sure what you mean regarding neck relief, it's not a published dimension in the Zon catalogue. You'll have to let me know exactly what measurement you're after and I'll try to get it for you. All personal e mails answered by the way, and still for sale. Graham
graham1945 Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Bump for some new higher res pics, just to tempt you. The switch near the control knobs controls the side of neck lights. The Schaller machine heads are all new. Edited November 12, 2016 by graham1945
CaptainBlackarm16 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Offer still stands if you change your mind
Jerrylejer Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 The Legacy range is exceptionnal. Beautiful warm sounds and playibilty. Go ahead and buy it !
giblett123 Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 This is also a great price for one of these, especially considering you don't often see them come up s/h, someone could grab themselves a bargain here!
graham1945 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Posted September 5, 2016 Thanks chaps, this really does need to be played to be appreciated.
graham1945 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Posted September 27, 2016 Well, I must say I'm surprised that this hasn't gone at this price. Might just keep it. Final bump.
Craftyclara Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 A mighty fine piece of kit you have there! 😉
graham1945 Posted November 12, 2016 Author Posted November 12, 2016 The Zon has gone to Estonia, you missed it chaps!
HazBeen Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Thank heavens, I have no need for another bass but this was almost too much to deal with
