KingPrawn Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) A rare opportunity to pick up an early example of these groundbreaking basses. Presented in great condition with a few marks in the finish, It is a stunning bass. its a real head turner both in looks and sound. Poplar body, Flame maple top, Graphite neck, Phenolic f/b, Bartolini Dual coil pickups and 2 band eq volume, pan, bass, treble phenolic f/b, Gotoh bridge, and tuners. Weight: 3.8kg/8lb 4oz The serial number is 51193468. I'm not sure how Zon date their basses. I'm guessing its 5/11/93? so I guess it's from 93. I've tried to take more detailed pictures of the marks on the back. There is no damage to the body, just the finish is wrinkled. There is also a faded area on the neck. Neither had an impact on the sound and playability There is a Zon hard case I would recommend coming to try the bass if you can. I really do not want to ship as it will add so much cost. Collection from Birmingham or meet up locally. £1595 with case Edited January 10, 2019 by KingPrawn 4

dmccombe7 Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 Always wanted one of those Zon basses but i'm shrinking my collection at the moment rather than adding. Gorgeous looking bass. GLWTS Dave 1
ambient Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 I love Zon basses. I've owned two Sonus 6 strings, though I've never played a Legacy model. My all-time favourite bass sound is that obtained by Michael Manring on his Zons.
ped Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 My fave bass in the classifieds at the moment. Stunning!

Thank you, SM. it is a fine instrument. The sustain is so good you could go to the bar. Have a few pints. Discuss the merits of Henry James calling Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace a " Loose baggy Monster". A bag of scratchings and a cheeky short, head back on stage and check then head back to the bar!!
