Description:
This Vintage 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. Whether on tour, or in the studio, Dow needs a bass that will deliver excellent playability and world class ‘J Bass’ tones. “The bass absolutely kicks! It does everything from a nice, dark, warm vintage thing, to really grinding aggressive bite. The Front of house guy really likes it!”
