Joe Zon

Joe Zon’s open-minded approach when it comes to building bass guitars has led to some incredible designs, such as the headless VB model, the Sonus and Micheal Manring’s signature Hyperbass, which features a three-octave fretless neck and is capable of something around 10,000 tunings! Completely self-taught, Joe honed his craft at a time when there was little, if any, literature on how to build bass guitars or fix them, largely relying on his own intuition to further his progress. His handiwork has since drawn praise from the likes of Troy Sanders (Mastodon), Billy Gould (Faith No More), Liam Wilson (The Dillinger Escape Plan) and Dick Lövgren (Meshuggah).
