I just spec’d up a Sonic Blue PJ with a Rosewood neck and got a bit unnecessary… 
Then I took myself outside had a word with myself and equilibrium has been restored.

Actually I quite like it, whether it’s worth the money is completely up to the person and the value they put on having something bespoke.

There’s a lot of completion out there…..

I don't usually like gold hardware, but it looks great on this.

I’m in exactly the same camp guys. Stunning bass all round. 

Whoever you are…. Wherever you may be?! 
 

You just bought a blindingly good bass! 
 

😁👍

This is nuts! I wouldn’t even think about selling it for less than this price. 
 

I have exactly the same bass with a very near number and it’s a beast. Rock/Metal/Pop it’s all here! And the string spacing means it’s super quick.

I’m now thinking of selling two trusty (non- Vigier) basses to fund this one! 
 

Don’t fall into the Pedulla trap, get a pristine one while you can! 

Someone is going to be very pleased! 
 

Stunning Basses and given that Patrice Vigier is retiring next year a very attractive proposition.

😊👍

I think I’ve just been Tangoed….. and I love it! 😍

I respect Patrice's decision to retire and not continue the brand. It would be a good retirement plan in some respects to let someone else carry on with it, but at the same time I'm sure he can just enjoy a stress-free existence once the company is shuttered.

100% agree, I’m glad I got mine while I could. Whilst sad that there will be no “new” ones it’s great that the brand won’t be diluted by cr4p.

It's a pity no one came onboard and learnt the skills to continue the marque. Maybe the demand just isn't there any longer?

I can’t see that demand has dropped off tbh. They seem to attract devotees, a few of which have popped up on here! 😁

A bit of an update following a conversation with Mark at Bass Direct last week.

The rumours are true, Vigier will wind up production at the end of 2023.

Patrice is 68 and wants to retire, however the distribution side of the business High Tech Distribution will continue with Patrice’s daughter heading up that side of the business.

Bass Direct have one more Passion 5 on order but that’s all folks! 
 

Thinking of Pedulla etc, it really brings home the fact that some of the major high end manufacturers are not getting any younger.

This…… I can still remember the lack of tone no matter what you pressed. And it weighed about as much as a nuclear reactor!

I agree. Plus if you ain’t lugging your stuff on stage, your invariably lugging someone else’s (I.e drummers)

 

Ain’t that the truth! 😂👍

I’ve never found Class D to be particularly unreliable.

My class A/B Eden was a complete stinky poo show that I ended up selling on after 3 repairs! Loved the sound though.

Class D don’t appear to be particularly easy to repair from some stories, but that’s not my own personal experience.

"Diabolical"? Seems like a sweeping generalisation.

And all generalisations are false.

If you take the time to read the post I back up my “personal” claim. Everyone’s different and have different tastes. 
 

I have found some of the comments in the post quite educational though! 👍

Stonking Amp! I loved mine. 😊

Can someone clarify if that is Class AB heresy or Class D Heresy?

If it’s Class D heresy the fire will be cooler. 😂

As originator of the post I have to say it is quite presumptuous to label that all are listening with their eyes.

Sure there maybe AB tests that are non conclusive for specific applications. 
 

There are also people for and against on the forum. I would guess that most of these opinions are based upon personal experience, listening and specific applications.
 

They are also free of political agenda.

GenzBenz went to a great deal of trouble to placate the people in who swore up and down the new D amp was a poor imitation the ''real thing''. At the end of the day they couldn't tell any difference.

 

Their opinions cost a lot of effort to show they didn't hold water.

 

The engineers knew the new one had the goods and they could show the naysayers all the graphs of power output v frequency. That wasn't enough. They had to do a full on double blind trial to show there was no audible difference.

 

Statements of opinions thrown out as facts tend to get pushback.

And that may be true for Genz Benz.

However like everyone else on this forum (I suspect,  but don’t know because I am not them) I trust my ears. 
 

It’s not always the signal at fault, it’s the way it gets delivered. 😊✌️

I would put very good money on the fact that you cannot tell the difference between a flat, unprocessed AB or D amp without knowing what you're listening through.

 

I'm not commenting on what makes you happy, or even on what you might think makes you happy, but blanket statements like you've made here are far more likely to be about your predetermined ideas than reality in my experience, hence the confirmation bias comment.

I have been at pains to comment a number of times that it is my opinion and that everyone has different tastes and requirements. 
 

However, you have no factual foundation to base your observation that my comments on Class D are “based upon your predetermined ideas than reality in my experience”.

So your comments are based upon your predetermined bias of what you think I’m hearing… and that in the best light is presumptuous.

No confirmation bias here at all.

Who better to assess what

makes me happy?
