Members justinbass Posted February 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 awesome color! I love how people's opinions can differ. I am not normally a lover of red, but I love how this bass looks. I have had nothing but great experience with ZONs, and I am very excited to get this one. I love their necks.

Members 82Daion Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 IIRC, that bass only weighs 6 or 7 pounds, to boot. Nice score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willsellout Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 Zon is the only Graphite necked bass is worth anything IMO. The necks are just so incredible. You'll love it man. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dDigitalPimp Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 nice score. my only beef with that bass is the pickups. seems like some lines of basses all use the same size pup for 4 5 and 6 string basses. the thumb resting point seems a long ways away from the E string. i notice peavey does this with their cirrus line of basses too. those soapbars on the 4 string models have way too much pup under the strings.

I only anchor my thumb on the pickups when playing the E string, so I don't expect that to be much of a problem. I can see how this might be an issue for players that always anchor their thumb on a pickup. I used to be one of those players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dDigitalPimp Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 I can see how this might be an issue for players that always anchor their thumb on a pickup. I used to be one of those players. i always just keep it on the PUP but ive seen players that will anchor on the string above what they are playing. is a floating anchor point a prefered method of playing or is it just a personal thing? do all the "bass greats" move their thumbs around?

Members RSBro Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 Nonsense... And pretty ignant, considering Mod made their necks for years and years and years... On TB, there's def more hassle w/ Zon necks than Mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Proper form" includes a floating anchor. It mutes lower strings and allows for the same angle and intentisy of attack on all strings. It is more noticeably efficient on basses with 5+ strings.

On TB, there's def more hassle w/ Zon necks than Mods. I've heard that. This is a 12-13 year old bass, so I feel the neck would have warped by now if it is ever going to. The nicest neck I ever played was on a Zon Sonus last year, and I've been GASing for one ever since. I can't wait to get this bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On TB, there's def more hassle w/ Zon necks than Mods. I know there are some Modulus Fanboi's on here but their necks feel {censored}ty to me and the sound of every Modulus I've heard I didn't like. Zon on the other hand have amazing necks and the sound is more my gig. all the Zon's I have played have been recent and they have had incredible necks.
