Zonnick Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) I've started playing upright and haven't been playing my beloved Zon fretless much of late. Plus a need for a fretted 4 string forces this sale. It's a 2001 vintage Zon Sonus Special Fretless Five string - 34 inch scale (i.e. it's a very playable fiver) - Zon graphite neck - wood composite fingerboard - bart j bass pups - Zon preamp - Ash body - Bubinga top - Redwood fretmarkers I honestly believe these to be the best fretless basses in the world (I felt like I had tried them all before I bought it) and they truly sing and mwah like it's going out of fashion. Action is low. The bart J pups are set slightly further back towards the bridge to bring out the lo mids. It works. Specs at - [url="http://www.zonguitars.com/zonguitars/sonusspecial5.html"]http://www.zonguitars.com/zonguitars/sonusspecial5.html[/url] Very wide range of tones from Jaco honk to broad, almost fibrous upright tones. They are very light and well balanced - no diving. This one has one small ding that does not penetrate the finish on the back edge next to the strap button (i.e. not on the front). Used in a smoke free studio. Drop me a line if you want more pics or info. I'm in London and would prefer not to post. £1100 firm. Cheers, Nick Pics!

CS2 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Apologies for wasting time and bandwidth as I cannot afford that and I normally sneer at people who make sychophantic comments...but Those pics have made my heart beat a little faster.
SMART Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) I had a customer several years ago that had a black Sonus fretless and it also had a great 'mwah'. Very nice basses and a little different from the crowd! Edited October 12, 2007 by SMART
