Overview

Bartolini electronics and a wenge-cocobolo top give unmatched sound to a premiere 5-string Zon bass.

First introduced as a jazz bass in the 1990s, the Sonus has evolved into one of the most popular Zon basses. Designed with traditional styling, the Zon Sonus Custom bass guitar achieves a perfect balance of classic characteristics.

The Wenge/Eucalyptus top offers a luxurious and striking contrast to the appearance of the 5-string bass guitar, with an added strength from these two hard woods. The Zon Sonus bass body features a deep cutaway, which encourages playing up the double-octave phenowood fretboard. The 34" scale, 12" radius, and 1-5/8" nut width provide comfort for intricate bass licks. The tonal qualities of the select guanacast body give the Zon Sonus bass incredible warmth and personality, with dynamic punch and clarity. Its D-shaped bolt-on neck is tapered to feel like a vintage jazz bass neck. The superior playing response of the bass's neck provides increased sustain and rich harmonics with no dead spots, while offering superior stability. A Zon bass's Bartolini soapbar bridge pickup is wound to reproduce the classic jazz sound, while custom electronics provide the player with independent pickup volumes, bass, and treble controls.

Other appointments on the Zon Sonus Custom bass include a Zon brass bridge, 3-band active controls, Zon enclosed tuners, black hardware and a Zon gig bag. Finished in natural high gloss, the Sonus bass guitar will surely become a favorite for your bass arsenal”amazing electronics, breathtaking woods, and comfortable ergonimics.
