“When
I was first invited to try a Vintage V4, I was taken
by its expensive look and feel. To discover its extremely
reasonable price was a bonus. For a new bass player
to own a quality instrument from the word go is inspiring.
After trying it out during a Big Country rehearsal for
the last tour, I quickly decided it would tour with
me. To have a signature model to my live bass spec is
an honour!” Tony Butler – Big Country
If
you have a taste for something different but at the
same time so well known, this is your bass.
Now you can get the true flavour of those famous bass
lines from one of the most distinctive jazz rock bass
players ever – check the fretless neck with the
fret lines and dot markers still visible; no scratchplate
but with the screw holes still open, and only the chrome
control panel plate left; oooh... that patterned scarring...
keep an eye on the weather!
‘The
VJ96 is great value for money and should be one to check
out.’
‘The VJ96 has pre-drilled holes for a scratchplate
although one isn’t present – a nice touch,
that lends the bass that powerful ‘Jaco’
vibe.’
‘The V4 remains good value for money’ Stuart Clayton – Bass Guitar Magazine

"The
Vintage VJ96 is a great sounding, well built
bass that has a playability well beyond any
other fretless in it's price range. Like all
the vintage products I've tried, the VJ96 has
to be played to be fully appreciated, it's definitely
gonna surprise some people as it has done with
me!" – Dishan
