Vintage V4MTB Tony Butler Bass Overview
Designed in conjunction with former Big Country bassist Tony Butler, the Vintage V4MTB features a single Wilkinson WBBCCR pickup, compensated brass saddle bridge and improved upper fret access, bringing together the best of modern and traditional aesthetics and features. A highly resonant Eastern Poplar body with a Hard Maple neck provides comfort, speed, and accuracy with a great over all feel, which is further enhanced by a traditional 12” radius fingerboard with 20 Medium profile frets to produce a classically styled bass which punches well above its weight.
A Vintage ICON Series Bass already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is your journey is just beginning. Play on.
What Vintage say:
The Vintage V4MTB ‘Tony Butler Signature’ ICON bass replicates the beautiful, worn-in look and feel of an instrument that exhibits a lifetime's worth of woodshedding, rehearsing and performing, straight out of the box. Good things come to those who wait – but who has the time for that?

“For any bass player to own a quality instrument from the word go is inspiring,” says Tony. “After trying it out during a Big Country rehearsal I quickly decided that the V4MTB would tour with me. To have a signature model made to my live bass spec is an honour!”
