Introduced around 2004, the Zon VB4 is a headless bass that evolved out of Michael Manring's 1993 Zon headless prototype bass. Although compact in size, the VB does not compromise on playability or tone, it is a full-scale, professional-quality instrument. The two piece swamp ash body and bolt-on composite neck in combination with the special ZB5 electronics and Bartolini pickups deliver a full, punchy and clear tone.
The VB4 comes with various options including: fretless lined, blank or half lined (no dots on board face) fingerboard; transparent or solid colored finished, bookmatched exotic wood top, left-handed and black hardware.
