Albi Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'm new on the forum, but I'll just drop in this way: Won it on Ebay 2 weeks ago and got it in on thursday! To bad I haven't been able to capture the superb flamed maple body yet... Best bass I've ever played, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's damn near a perfect gigging bass - assuming you can get past the looks you get when you get on stage with one [/quote] Looking forward to the incredulity when I step up to the plate with me' Streamline and shake some bits loose.....

bobpalt Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Well, here's me playing mine (yes, its on a station platform.........) a few weeks ago! Its a Sonus Custom, with full Sims leds on the front and side edge. Redwood (although someone told me at the Moffat Bash over the weekend that they thought it was really Bubinga) and ash body. Brilliant bass! Bob [attachment=35635:DSCN0045.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greydad Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Ah, I just joined, couldn't find any Zon porn and was about to start a thread. OK, here's mine: It's a Zon Sonus 5 Special fretless Fabulous bass, picked it up secondhand for a ridiculous price when I lived in the States. I've posted some Musicman porn on the Musicman thread if anyone's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albi Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Some more Zon-porn with my new stack: I see you also use yours with an Ashdown Stack, Greydad It's really a good combo I think. With my Legacy I get a superb rock-tone and with the Sonus it lends itself really good for funk, especially with the bridge pick-up soloed!

green Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 [quote name='Albi' post='730548' date='Jan 31 2010, 02:18 PM'][/quote] albi, how does the legacy sound compared to the sonus ? you don't have sound clips, do you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albi Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 They really are pretty different. The neck on the Sonus has more the profile of a Jazz bass, so more arrow at the nut and a bit rounder. While the Legacy has more of a "flattened-out" P-bass profile. A tad wider at the nut and a flatter neck than the Sonus. In weight, the Sonus is REALLY lightweight, maybe the lightest bass I ever had(I think ash), while the Legacy is pretty hefty carrying around.(2 piece flamed maple body) In tone, the Sonus really has the J-bass sound going on, but on steroids! The Legacy on the other hand is more of a growler like a p-bass. This makes that I prefer the Sonus more for playing in my jazz-ensemble and funk band, while the Legacy lends itself really well to my rockband. They are both wonderful playing and versatile basses. I don't ave any sound samples a the moment though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom5string Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 But there is more .... A Sonus 5/2 with a 34" neck, funky little beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albi Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) A lot of activity so suddenly ^_^ Got more pics of that Sonus Custom 5? (the 5/2 has Seymour Duncan's as far as I know) Seems like an older model with the gloss finish and not yet the new fretboard?

Albi Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 @ Green: I have however a video on youtube for my audition at the ICMP:[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja60YLqb1No"]Link[/url] Only the Sonus though and it's played far from perfect, but that's why I won't to study further off course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GremlinAndy Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Well the wait is *KILLING ME* but my Zon Hyperbass is due to be completed around 30/5/2010.
