I thought you guys like to see this one, I sent the body for a paint job at GPG and upgraded the pickups with a set of Nordstrand Zen Blades.

That's killer!

Wowzah!!

Nice! So when are you joining Metallica?



Or Sepultura or Machine Head

That's pretty awesome. I remember how disappointed I was with the thin veneer of the original finish on these basses. This is definitely an upgrade!

Awesome finish, man!

What do you know about those pickups? They have 4 conductors, so I suppose they must be humbuckers of a sort, but I am curious as to how they are wound. The website says, "classic sidewinder-style," but I have never heard of that before.

Sounds like a good gig!
Also Soufly, Faith no More and on and on!

These are humbuckers but instead stack one on top of the other, they're sideways.
I know nothing much about these, got the set used on TB but they do sound great!

Oh! Duh! That picture is right there on the site.

Interesting!

WOW that is awesome!! They did such a good job with the splatter!

love the paint job!

That is one Bitchin' lookin' paint job! And I like that you weren't concerned about painting an expensive bass to your liking, and not worrying about potential re-sale value... in fact, you most likely increased it!

Looks awesome! I'm beginning to think that they should rename their business to Guitar Paint GUY.

I like this bass more and more every time I look at it. I've never touched a Zon. How does it sound and feel?

It sounded fine with the original pickups but I wanted to try the Nordies, no regret!
The overall feel and sound of this bass is great, I still have the original 3 band preamp installed and it does the job.
I was able to purchase this bass at a great price (no low ball on my end, I paid what the seller asked for), that's why I decided to give it a refin. The veneer made it look horrible like my grandma's furniture.
I believe this was the only one Sonus Legacy sold by Adirondack Guitars as the wood grain matched 100% before the refin.
