"I recently had the pleasure of photographing Jeph Howard (a.k.a Jeph HowRAD) with his new Custom Zon Sonus. Joe Zon (friend, founder and president of Zon Guitars) worked with Jeph and VP of Production Mark Gullo, to build one of the most killer Sonus basses, to date. I had the pleasure of listening to this monster of an instrument pump thunderous lows and thick crunchy midrange growls through the most beautiful pair of Aguilar pickups and electronics I have ever heard. For stage purposes, the amplifier was hidden behind a beautifully constructed sculpture of various television and computer monitors."
