April Carson
The Hailers
“I can’t praise my new Vintage Icon bass enough. It truly is my favorite bass to play. It has everything that I’ve been looking for in a bass, i.e., the feel, the weight, the rosewood fingerboard and most importantly, the sound! The p-bass pickups are great and far superior to any I have used in the past. Thanks to all of you, I am one happy camper.”

The variety of tones from the Wilkinson W90SK pickups combined with the vari-coil enabling me to go from single coil to quasi double coil whilst the roller bridge and ‘classic’ vibrola is something I’ve never seen before on a contoured topped guitar. It really is a thing of beauty not just to look at but to play.”

To be able to go from a humbucker tone to a single coil sound in a single guitar built as well as this one has been is a revelation. I can’t praise the guitar highly enough.
