This is my 2003, U-12 Zum. I ordered it new from Bruce. It plays and sounds great!
It has the Newman U-12 set up on it. I love playing it.

Wow, looks like this 4 year old thread has reawakened. Here's my Mullen G2 SD-12 with it's brand new vinyl wrap. From the factory, it came as a 7x4. I recently added a vertical knee, pulled 3 of the pedals and am playing extended D9 on it as a 4x5.

I’ve had this one about 15 years. Sold it to a friend and bought it back five years later. I’m glad I did. Sounds great. I’ve never changed the George L pick up, never done a whole lot with it as far as changing setup.It’s got 6 knee levers 6 pedals. Universal E9.
