Zon Standard Legacy Bass For Sale USA Model £900 Birmingham

[KingPrawn]

Evening all.

I'm selling this beautiful Zon Bass.  This has the lowest action of any bass I have ever owned. It really is effortless to play. The neck is impeccable, as you would expect from such an incredible builder. The finish is so beautiful that the maple is stunning.  Before my time, it was fitted with a drop tuner on the E and some new pickups. ( original tuner is in the gig bag). It sounds incredible. I was using it in a 70's/80's funk-pop band. It sounded great. I haven't used it for at least 6 months. 

 

I found some blurb

 

The first bolt-on neck bass Zon ever made, this Legacy Standard features a two-piece hard maple body finished in natural. The electronics are the newly developed Polyfusion ZP2D active system, which features an active volume control, pickup blend, bass and treble boost/cut controls, and an internal midrange control. 

 

THIS IS A USA MADE MODEL

 

£900 posted insured to UK address

Can you get a clearer pic of the body front, its looks increadible and would be nice to see it in all its glory...

[KingPrawn]

Of course. It's been a really miserable and rainy day here in Birmingham today. Think it reflects my poor picture

Think the maker was  Joe Zon USA Maybe be wrong it's been known.

I thought standard US Legacys had carbon necks?

 

Edit - ah, but it seems from franz that this is not a Zon USA bass

These were introduced in 2010 and made in Korea. They're referred to as the Import series I believe and they were sent back to Zon for a setup before they were sent to dealers. 

 

Super rare over here....I saw a couple in a bass specialist shop many years ago and I think they were retailing at about £1200 back then? I was fortunate enough to pick my Sonus Standard Import up a while back in a local shop. They didn't actually know what they had on the wall and a lowball offer secured it because they could only sell Squier P basses! I'll never sell it as it's a fabulous bass and so rare.

Well colour me corrected 🤣

 

Never seen a US-made bass with basslines pickups.  I thought the Standards were only finished in the US, as Mudpup said.

 

That is quite the deal then.

I have no doubt your right. As i said in the description before my time someone swapped the pickups.

Ah yes, it's not a Korean one. You can see the different control layout from the Import series. I bet that sounds amazing with the Polyfusion electronics. I love the SD's in mine. That's a steal of a price too. GLWTS!
