Designed with the Metallica bass man to his strict specs.

From his early days in Suicidal Tendencies to his ascension to metal god status as Metallica's bassist, Robert Trujillo's playing career has covered the entire spectrum of rock music. The result of all that experience is the Sonus RT 5-K bass guitar.

Boasting gut-wrenching lows, crunching mids, and crystal-clear highs, the RT 5-K is voiced to get the job done, no matter what you're playing. Features a bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and a gorgeous figured maple top on its maple body. Two active, single-coil EMG pickups and 3-band active electronics help you create your own signature tone.

Zon Sonus RT5 5-String Bass Guitar Features:

  • Maple body with figured maple top
  • Bolt-on maple neck
  • Dual-action truss rod
  • Rosewood fingerboard
  • 34" scale

an amazing bass for a great price

This bass truly is a dream! It plays and sounds just as good as it looks. The lows are big and in your face while the highs are clean and crisp, even in dropped tunings. The pick-ups Zon uses on this bass are perfect for any tone you are trying to achieve. I play everything from funk to hardcore and I have always been able to find the perfect tone needed to get the job done. Also, the action on this bass is perfect! I do a lot of bass sweeping and this guitar allows me to do whatever technical part comes to mind. I have not encountered any buzzing on any fret and I have used them all. The neck shape on this 5 string model is mucho comfy and fast. For such an extraordinary bass this price is more than a good deal!
