Bass Culture Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Took delivery of this on Good Friday and have only put it down since to sleep and drool. Will do a review on it in due course but for the time being I'll just leave this here for you: [url="http://s120.photobucket.com/user/Myrtle2014/media/Zoot%20Custom/Zoot%20Fretless/IMGP6669_zpst1lnfmmo.jpg.html"][/url] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass_Guardian Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 That's unbelievably stunning! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 All that drooling has made the paint run . Zoot make some very tasty basses - only parted with mine as I had other basses that covered the same ground. Enjoy yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I really wish I hadn't sold my Zoot. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burno70 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 That's gorgeous - loving the quilted maple top and red fret lines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I like the fret lines - quite subtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Very nice, you should add it to the 32" scale thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/301054-32-medium-scale-bass-thread/page__fromsearch__1"]HERE[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, these are quite discreet. I think they're the same wood as the body - a type of mahogany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I had a Zoot fretless years ago, had a graphite neck on it, which is what attracted me to it. I mostly remember that it had an unbelievably heavy body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass above is a much more reasonable - lighter, in fact, than I thought it was going to turn out. I think Mike's down-sized his bodies a bit recently.

I can't remember what the body wood was, possibly maple. It was something heavy, certainly, but the lightweight neck probably made it feel heavier than it was. I didn't keep that bass all that long but I certainly wish I had kept it a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
