Jigster Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Okay, so gonna offer a price drop here, £50 off - might generate a bit, but not a signal for being open to offers - if no movement then will leave it for a bit. Bought from fellow BC'er Warwick Hunt - superb bass that just oozes class - this thing is so well made, beautifully light and poised, neck is STRAIGHT as a dye, gr8 frets, super fast neck, very responsive Bartolini preamp - [b]Just not sure it is me that's all.[/b] Am also up for a likewise trade - am looking at P's, Jazzers, Ricks (with cash going your way more than likely if there's any 'Rick love to be had).. Here are some of WH's words and piccies (thanks John) from his previous posts. Guitar has, like all Zons, a graphite neck which is set-up to not require tweaking - has no noticeable fret wear. It is really perfect actually and a dream to play. 34" scale, graphite nut, string spacIng .750"/19mm, tuners Gotoh GB-7. The neck is very slim and shallow and lives up to the advertising claim to be the 'Jazz bass for the 90's'. It has Bartolini pups and a retro-fitted Bartolini pre. There are two dings: one through to the wood on the upper side, and a little chip in the headstock but no nasty bucklerash etc. Controls are Vol Pan and stacked bass/treble. The bass is pretty darn versatile - it rocks out, gets subtle and woody, and altho I don't do the slap thing, it has the armoury to go there - Thanks for reading [attachment=39522:100_1096.jpg] [attachment=39523:100_1097.jpg] [attachment=39524:100_1099.jpg] [attachment=39525:100_1098.jpg] [attachment=39526:100_1120.jpg][b][/b] Edited January 13, 2010 by Jigster

I have a headless VB4 and really like it Edited January 7, 2010 by molan
Jigster Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 molan this is more like Jam - very sweet. I just think I might be more passive (bass) than I originally thought
Chris2112 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Fantastic bass. I'd not be put off that interest is slow, it certainly is a looker and very reasonably priced, but now is the time of year where the wallet feels the pinch!
baronfloyd Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I have been gassing over this one all morning - trying to work out how I can afford it. Chris is correct about the wallet situation. Good luck with the sale Jigster ...... I may be in touch.
warwickhunt Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 It's a real shame that the Zon didn't work for you as it's the least 'graphite' sounding graphite bass that you'll find! However, I wouldn't be down-heartened by any lack of initial response because this is a good un and the right buyer is here somewhere.
Jigster Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 might also consider any old school trades (+ cash either way if necessary and where applicable) - P's J's Ricks, possibly Gibbos (but not EBs as have been down the short scale route) - thanks for any responses -

SOMEBODY BUY THIS BASS! ZONS ARE f***ing AWESOME!!
Plux_the_Duck Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 If I had the money.... I'd be looking to have that off you! grr...
ialma Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I've been always conceptually interested in the Zon basses, but I'd love to try one before buying it, just to avoid (as happened dozens times) to put the hands on an instrument and to be completely disappointed. Too bad I live far away... Free bump for the Zon anyway!

ialma Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Hello John, I live in Italy, and I've asked you about the Zon on the Warwick forum some months ago. Bye!
robocorpse Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Sooo tempting, but can't justify it while I'm still looking for thru-neck graphite! Have a free bump anyway!
Jigster Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 purty quiet today so giving myself a bump
Jigster Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 had a nibble, but fish just fell off the hook so back in the pond

Jigster Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 [quote name='ialma' post='711472' date='Jan 13 2010, 04:04 PM']does it have a truss rod ?[/quote] no - is that good or bad for you? btw, you are in Italy I think, if you have any interest, I have omitted to say, and will amend it now, that the free p&p is UK only - best to get that straight
Smash Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 is it active only or can it be switched to passive mode?
