andydye Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) [s]Got this recently on a trade and I've been v susprised by it's playability for a relatively chaep bass! I know the Dean Custom Zone is a 'cheap' bass but this one has been somewhat pimped...here's the pimp list (it's mostly internal stuff that makes a huge difference to the sound!) New wiring harness as the original was a bit flimsy, CTS solid shaft pots and knobs original pickup binned and a [b]DiMarzio Will Power[/b] installed as per the Billy Sheehan Yamaha. Cosmetically it's in v good condition, a few swirls and a couple of very minor dings, not seen anything on the neck apart from the awesome pink paint on the fingerboard! There's a tiny crack in the finish at the heel end of the neck that I've shown in one of the pics, v minor. Truss rod works fine now I've lubed it a bit, turns in both directions and the action is pretty good, I can do a bit of Sheehan style tapping on it as it is and with a slight shim it'll come down a bit lower! Strung with rounds and sounding nice n aggressive due to that willpower pup! I'm looking for what it cost me which is[b] £170 collected around Sheffield [/b](or £190 inc UK postage). Pics: (shonky phone cam pics only at the mo I'm afraid, I'll do some better ones as soon as I can) [attachment=144733:20130927_081906.jpg] [attachment=144734:20130927_081922.jpg] [attachment=144735:20130927_081944.jpg][/s] Edited November 18, 2013 by andydye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
