My wife has started playing with the BC Instagram/Facebook and she chose this bass to feature to launch our ‘pick of the week’ feature. Hopefully it helped!

They're really good filters - I have a non + version too but the footswitch is kaput I think (was intermittent for ages then stopped). Probably easy to fix but I don't think I'll ever get around to it! Yours for £50 + postage if you want it! It's in the big pine box

Thanks guys. I must say it's been fantastic becoming the resident Vigier expert and getting to know these amazing instruments so well. I have just reduced the price, now I'm minded to sell I want a new home for it soon. Buyer has to give me first dibs when/if they decide to sell! Also, added a sound clip - I'm sure I have more somewhere.

Yeah it's a bit frustrating at first but OK once you get the hang of it - as long as you don't forget the next time you use it! I have the firmware file containing the latest (final) factory sounds if anyone wants. V001_011.OSF

Sorry no trades this is purely a fundraising exercise forced by wife’s redundancy. I’ve got some recordings I’ll add later

I also have the original knobs (they feel like aluminium) so you can have whichever you prefer.

The best Jazz Bass (70s spacing) that money can buy IMO! Flawless craftsmanship with stunning attention to detail, such as the asymmetrical heel and horns. The sound is pure 70s jazz heaven, with the legendary Greengrove preamp (two band) with internal dip switching for adjusting frequency centres. It comes with the original Celinder Hiscox case. Weight is 9.1lbs. Collection from York, but I'll travel a fair distance to meet. You can hear it here: ..and here: Pics:

This was my favourite bass for sooo long. Feels really strange to be selling it but I'm just not playing it now and I guess my tastes have changed. It makes me sad to see it in its case not being used. I have had five Vigier basses and this one slayed them all, including basses by many other top marques during it's reign. The action is super low, the neck dead flat, the sound is often described as like a 'velvet covered brick' It was originally bought as a pickup/preamp-less 'chassis' which was later filled with Basstec pickups and a Marleaux 3 band pre. The Roland GK system with up/down buttons was added some years later and works flawlessly - I used to use it with the Vbass and later the VB99 system for some outstanding synth sounds, including polyphonic effects which to my mind still haven't been matched by anything Roland or anyone else have done since. Being a carbon neck thru with no truss rod it's also extremely light, my scales showing 7.lbs Please ask if you have any questions. I prefer not to post, but will meet a fair distance away. The original case is also in excellent condition and quite rare. Cheers ped The controls - the two small knobs at the back are treble and bass, the next down from that is mids, the next is a GK assignable control, then the one near the bridge pickup is pan then the one near the neck pickup is vol. The two buttons are GK assignable for example patch up/down or to turn effects on and off.
