Robert Trujillo Zon Guitars Sonus RT5 Deluxe 5-string Bass

When Robert Trujillo wanted a new 5-string bass with a distinctive look and sound, he collaborated with Zon Guitars. The result is the Sonus RT5 Deluxe, with a tone designed to integrate with guitar-heavy metal and rock, while cutting through with a distinctive, powerful voice.

The Sonus RT5 Deluxe features a two-piece solid figured maple body mated to a custom-tapered, bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, making it the perfect vehicle for Trujillo's trademark style. Electronics consist of two custom EMG single-coil pickups and a custom Bartolini preamp that work in harmony to produce gut-shaking bottom end, meaty midrange, and a top end that cuts through the thickest wall of guitars. Active tone controls offer bass, midrange, and treble boost/cut of ±15dB. The midrange is centered at 400 Hz, providing variable tonal weight and depth. Volume and pickup-blend controls allow further sonic shaping.

An alternate version of the Sonus RT5 Deluxe is the Sonus RT5. This bass shares most of the Deluxe's features, incorporating a 2-band EQ system (treble and bass boost/cut) with a two-piece maple body and a bookmatched figured maple top.

The Sonus RT5 and Sonus RT5 Deluxe basses are available from all Zon Guitars dealers worldwide. Both models are handcrafted in Zon Guitars' California shop.
