Vintage V4MFR ReIssued Bass, Firenza Red Overview
With a eye catching Firenza Red Alder body providing resonance, tone and ‘correct weight’ comfort, the V4MFR 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 Maple fingerboard, and 20 Medium Jumbo frets; outstanding tonal transfer, responsiveness and durability with superb playability.
A single Wilkinson® WOBP single coil pickup provides excellent clarity and definition, which is easily manipulated by way of the 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.
The V4MFR provides a rock solid foundation on which to build your groove.
What Vintage say:
All Vintage V4 basses feature the Wilkinson classic ‘split coil’ pickup design, powered by Alnico V magnets for maximum low end tone, it is very much in keeping with the authentic looks and feel of this style of versatile and capable bass guitar.
