portraitoftracy Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) This bass is truly in better condition than a bass you would buy brand new from the store. The plastic is still on the control cavity. Almost no sign of even being played on the fingerboard. This bass is simply insane but I don't play 6 strings, as much as I want to keep it since it is probably the coolest bass I have every owned I need to pass it on. This is the skinniest neck you will ever find from front to back! I am the second owner, you will see the original owner had his initials put on the back of the headstock by ZON, these can be removed. mahogany body quilted maple top matching pickup cover clear gloss finish 9.3 pounds 11/16 inch string spacing 2 1/8 inch at nut 2 7/8 at 12th fret 34 inch scale side fret markers two outputs, one for the magnetic pickup and one for the piezo's built into the bridge controls for piezo bass and treble are in the control cavity the controls on the bass are vol(magnetic) vol(piezo) bass mid and treble, with frequency switches inside the control cavity for the treble and mids OHSC with all candy and unsigned warranty card the list price on the bass would be around 7,995 euros SOLD Edited October 16, 2012 by portraitoftracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazBeen Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Wow! ZON's are awesome, and this is a very special ZON indeed..... Have a bump on me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandro Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Whoa...I've never seen one of these up for sale before. I would buy it just for the cool (or weird, depending on your outlook) factor...but I don't have the money, I can't play 6 strings, I would get lost trying to figure out what to do with 3 octaves, and my Michael Manring impersonation has much left to be desired But its an awesome looking thing. [quote name='portraitoftracy' timestamp='1348952485' post='1820162'] it is probably the coolest bass I have every owned [/quote] This coming from the guy with like a million Foderas...then its got to be special!

GremlinAndy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) If you were in the UK I could offer you a nice 4 string Hyperbass in part-ex plus cash your way obviously. (I have the only 2 Hyperbass in the UK as far as I know, but a four and a six would be ever better! Erm, to the tune of two, I guess) Edited October 2, 2012 by GremlinAndy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GremlinAndy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I see it doesn't have the hipshot detuners. Is it more usable as a regular bass? Do you string with piccolo strings? Sorry just interested in this bass as I never knew they did a 6, even by request... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portraitoftracy Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 This is the only 6er Hyperbass ever made. It does not have the detuners, which I prefer. It is strung with regular gauge strings. Personally I never explored the altered tuning thing, too much for me. Even the hyperbass 4 I used to own didn't have the detuners. It is just a monster 6 string fretless with a 3 octave range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairobill Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Zon Six Strings are stellar. If I were to move back to six I would get another Zon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
