Featuring a Mahogany body with an ingeniously designed drop shoulder and offset heel to provide improved access to the upper frets, the VS4CR Bass not only provides thudding bottom end, but allows you to venture up to the dusty reaches of the 20 fret Mahogany set neck too.
The instrument's bass response and lower register harmonics are maximised by the inclusion of a Graphtech NuBone nut, while a set of Wilkinson® WJBL200 machine heads keep your tuning locked in for the night.
The VS4CR is outfitted with a set of chrome double coil pickups; a jumbo double coil at the neck and a mini double coil in the bridge position. The smooth and rounded tones at the neck are contrasted by the cut and thrust of the bridge pickup, which provides enough articulation and clarity to put you centre stage for your bass solos.
Whether your bass provides the bedrock on which your power trio's sound is built, or your upper fret, single note forays are keeping jaws on the floor, the VS4CR is ready to rock and roll whenever you are. Play on.
