This is our new Zoot model. It was reviewed in “Guitarist Mag” and was given the FIVE STAR GUITARIST CHOICE AWARD. It is a semi production/hand made bass. This bass is totally U.K. made at our custom workshop, Witham, Essex. The Zoot Performer Pro is available in both 4 & 5 string versions with a choice of hi-gloss translucent natural and tinted colours including vintage sun burst and modern Aqua burst finishes. There are many scratch plate colours and these are available as customer options, meaning, you get the best colour scratch plate to go with your choice of finish. Both the 4 & 5 string versions share the same 34” scale neck with a 14 degree angled headstock. The neck is cut from Canadian rock maple and is finished with a rosewood fingerboard featuring medium sized bass frets. The top nut is hand carved from a solid piece of bell brass. The body is cut from top grade (Light Weight) American Swamp Ash. At the Iceni custom shop we take great pride in our basses and only fit top quality products. The bridge is a USA Hipshot, the E.Q is from Aguliar, the pickups are active EMG’s and the machine heads are Gotoh GB70’s. Add to this, that the remainder of the knobs and hardware are chrome plated brass, and you start to realise that this is a “No compromise” bass at an affordable price. 4 String version, including pro gig bag £ 985.00 5 String version, including pro gig bag £ 1,049.00

About me:

Manufacturer of Zoot Basses in the UK. Also distributor for Basson Sound Equipment Guitar, Bass & PA cabs and amps. I started building basses as a paying hobby back in 1976. During 1994, I decided to make bass building my full time occupation. I designed the Zoot Bass in the early months of 1995, and they went on to receive some excellent reviews in the music press. Some of these reviews are featured on our site and we have links for others. The company has now become a U.K. Limited company. At this point I started “The Bass Merchant” which I run as the retail sales side of Iceni Zoot Ltd. As a result of this company restructure, we have dropped some of the old Zoot models and replaced them with new models which we believe are more in-keeping with the demands of the modern and traditional bassist alike. The design brief for these basses was to produce a bass that would be a real crossover bass, meaning a bass that will inspire the player and excel at any style of bass playing with gusto. The testament to this is that some of the world's best bass players choose to use our “Hand Made” basses in the studio as well as live on stage. It is also interesting to note that all of these players pay for their instruments, as we have a “no give away “policy, which is unlike most of the major bass manufactures. This situation also dictates that these players actually want to own and use one or more of our basses. Paying for your new bass can be easier than you think! You can take advantage of our interest free “Easy Payment System”, details are in the payment guide section, or if you decide to pay in full with order, you will receive a 5% discount, off the factory direct price list. You can use most major credit or debit cards, wire transfer or cheques for payment. Finally, our hand made basses normally take about Eight to Ten weeks to make. If you're thinking about the “EasyPayment System”, this could work in your favour . Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any more help. Again, many thanks for considering an Iceni Zoot Ltd bass for your next instrument and I look forward to hearing from you soon. ..

Kindest Regards & Happy Bass playing. Mike Walsh Iceni Zoot Ltd / The Bass Merchant. CONTACT INFO LISTED ABOVE IN THE BLOG !!
