Big
Country four-stringer Tony Butler snags the first ever Vintage signature
bass
Vintage® guitars
has joined with chart-topping Big Country bassist Tony Butler to create
the first ever Vintage signature bass.
The Vintage Tony Butler Signature bass (V4MTB) joins the popular V4
bass range. Based around the V4's rock solid specifications, Tony’s
bass features a gloss black body and matching scratchplate, with an
eye-catching one-piece maple neck and a maple fingerboard.
Chrome Wilkinson hardware completes the look, and the awesome split-coil
Wilkinson pickup adds the thunderous, powerful sounds that give more
low-end rumble than a mountain lion in a pickup truck.
The multi-million selling Big Country are known for their distinctive
alternative rock sounds, with Butler's uniquely melodic bass lines simultaneously
acting as a third guitar and a strong rhythmic foundation.
Tony said: “My new Vintage signature bass is a
fantastic instrument. It's a comfortable weight to play, made with top
quality components and it's really affordable – but the first
thing I was struck by was its instant playability. It just felt good
straight away, and for a new bass player to own a quality instrument
from the word go is inspiring.”
And the bass also has the chops to keep up with Tony's unmistakeable
playing style. He said: “The Wilkinson pickup has a lovely new
quality to it. It's got a very, very aggressive sound to it, which gives
it incredible clarity. For a bass player like me in an orchestrated
typed of band, that's seriously important. I hope everybody checks the
V4MTB out!”
