Thanks to its medium output and hum-cancelling performance, you are provided with a beautifully versatile sound that's saturated in rich harmonics, making this model perfect for accommodating a multitude of genres and playing styles.
High-quality construction
To ensure you receive a high-quality instrument, a comfortable playing experience, and stunning soundscapes, the Vintage V4 Reissued has been crafted from a lightweight Eastern poplar body, hard maple neck, and a lignum rosa fingerboard. When combined, these tonewoods provide this bass with a beautifully broad dynamic range, perfect for a variety of musical styles. The relationship of lignum rosa and maple adds a bright and mellow character to the overall sound. The fingerboard smooths out the maple's rough edges to create sparkling highs and thick lows.
Excellent string stability
The heart of a good bass lies with the string anchoring, and the addition of an adjustable bridge, graphite nut, and Wilkinson machine heads make sure that's the way it stays. This model's bridge comes designed with a face mounted and fully adjustable construction, perfect for maximising the bottom end tone. Thanks to the Wilkinson WJBL200 machine heads, the V4 provides an incredibly smooth action for quick and easy tunings, while the elephant ear style tuning keys add to the V4's classic appearance.
