The prog-metal upstarts demonstrate the handmade tools they use and prove that it always helps to have a bona fide luthier in the band.
Joe Lester tours with a single bass, his 2013 Zon Legacy Elite 5-string fretless built to his specifications. Those specs include a 35" scale, 19 mm string spacing, mahogany body, bocóte (Mexican rosewood) top, carbon fiber composite neck, phenowood fingerboard with urethane finish, Aguilar OBP-3 onboard preamp, and EMG 40CSX soapbar pickups. The Zon is strung with Dunlop Super Brights .040–.120.
