Vintage V4BBL ReIssued Bass, Bayview Blue Overview
With a classically shaped Alder body providing resonance, tone and ‘correct weight’ comfort, the V4BBL is a stylish instrument that plays and sounds way better than its price would suggest. A Hard Maple bolt on neck with a classic Vintage ‘soft C’ profile adds comfort, speed, and accuracy to a great over all feel, which is further enhanced by a traditional 12” radius Lignum Rosa™ fingerboard, and 20 Medium Jumbo frets: outstanding tonal transfer, responsiveness and durability, with superb playability.
A solitary Alnico V Wilkinson WOBP single coil pickup provides excellent clarity and definition, which can be easy manipulated by way of independent master Volume and Tone controls to provide a versatile range of sounds. Wilkinson's compensated, three brass saddle bridge gives improved intonation all over the fretboard, while their WJBL200 machine heads provide simple and effective action for maximum tuning stability; a 42mm Graphtech NuBone nut adds to this stability, and provides the basis for smooth and friction-free string bending when required.
The V4BBL provides a rock solid foundation on which to build your groove.
What Vintage say:
The Vintage V4BBL keeps the low end pumping by virtue of a classic split coil pickup design. Utilising Alnico V magnets, chosen especially for their preservation of the sub frequencies.
