With a striking mirrored scratch plate augmented with a faultless high gloss black finish, the Vintage V4BLK 4 string bass is visually eye catching and a real rocker in every sense of the word. This longstanding electric bass guitar has been a Vintage best-seller for many years, for its complete sonic versatility and playability.
The time-tested tonewood combination includes alder for the body, with a hard maple bolt-on neck and rosewood fingerboard delivering an abundance of sustain and familiar tones that suit all kind of music genres.
The Vintage V4BLK keeps the low end pumping by virtue of a classic Wilkinson split coil pickup design, utilising alnico V magnets, chosen especially for their preservation of the sub frequencies.A Wilkinson four saddle compensated bridge provides improved intonation with precision accuracy, whilst Wilkinson WJBL200 open-geared machineheads and GraphTech Nubone top nut ensure smooth and stable tuning.
The V4BKL is yet other Vintage classic bass that, ‘on reflection’ has received a well-earned reputation with bass players around the world.
