I have owned a lot of basses over the years (a fraction of what many others on this forum have owned, without a doubt, but quite a few, nonetheless). The vast majority of them I wish I hadn’t bought, and have since sold. But, I would do it all over again if I could have my Zon Sonus 4 back. It is the one bass I regret selling, the “one that got away.”

I like this. Very out of character for me vibe-wise but I’d still rock it in a heartbeat

One thing the GC website doesn't say, it's lined fretless.
deal breaker for me but if you're a fretless player, it's a good price IMO!

I called yesterday and was told it does have frets.
I was hoping she would tell me it is a lined fretless to alleviate me of a hard decision.

Hmmmmm. I trust Paulo more than I trust random GC dude/dudette. But she was the one with the bass in hand.
If anyone is seriously interested, getting better pictures might be a good idea

Funny I too called yesterday. And a guy went to check for me and told me it was fretless. Reason why I wanted to check was because in my pc browser you could see up on top left:
Used gear/basses/fretless basses
So it’s worth to check again and ask for a close up pic of the fretboard. To me it does indeed looks like lined fretless by the pics!

Yeah, I noticed that too. That is also why I called.

It does, but I wanted to be sure. If am actually relieved that it is fretless! Now I don’t have a tough decision to make!

I had one (fretted).
Loved how the notes jumped off that composite neck/board.
And the weight. SO light! Loved gigging with it.
Also love the simple aesthetics. Handsome bass.

If you can't tell if a bass has frets or not, you might be looking at a Guitar Center ad.

No kidding! What is the deal? The cheapest smartphone you can get today has like a 10+ megapixel camera, and Guitar Center can’t be bothered to upload a picture with more than twelve pixels for a bass that they are asking two grand for, and put more than four words in the description.
I don’t get it.

I'm with you on this one......fretless means I don't have to sell a child/kidney

Since GC accepts returns I decided to snag this and see if the dots aligned properly with a fretted bass and turned out it did. So I've had frets put on and it turned out great!

Good call, Paulo. That's what I was thinking as well. Did you have Jim Mouradian do it?
What was that original GC price? The link is dead.
