Robin Zielhorst's Gear

His custom Roks Instruments Futura features a body of European walnut with a bookmatched flamed American walnut top. This choice of wood emphasizes the midrange frequencies and creates a very expressive and profound fretless sound. The instrument has an ebony fingerboard, passive electronics and an oil finish for a natural sound and look. A feature specially made for Robin’s bass is a handmade engraving of a weeping Buddha on the electronics cover.

As you look at the electronics, you can see that we not only have my typical 6-knob configuration, but an additional switch and knob. This is because Robin requested a piezo bridge saddle pick up as well. So we have a full mag pickup set up, a full piezo set up, and an ability to blend the two together in any proportion desired. Quite a lot of work for my dinosaur brain to absorb, but it actually worked the first time I plugged it in. There are two independent pre-amps in this guitar that work in conjunction with each other. When you open the electronics cavity, it sort of resembles a 12 cylinder BMW.
