Hey Denby

Lovely Bass.

Are we doing photos of younger men  playing old guitars now?

This must be '83-84

The Cartoon in Croydon, our regular Friday Gig !!

Thanks to the replies so far.

In the time when these were first released I remember the boutique Bass market was really just starting to blossom. Status, Alembic, Wal, and others all threatened the mass produced status quo (not the band).

I always found Vigier to be the most playable out of the case and the sound variety for a gigging musician was fantastic. If you love a P Bass sound then buy one I have no gripe on that count, but if you are looking for more than "set it forget it" these 1980's (now vintage) instruments are great.

Hi All

got this out of the (origional) case the other day

Still in tune !

Series 1 Arpege V4

Phenowood neck, brass plate, those amazing pick-ups. (buzz acknowlaged) what a bridge !

Plays so nicely

Hey All

I own a few basses now though for most of my real playing career I only used 1. My Vigier Arpege Series 1 V4.

Still have that baby bought directly from Patrice in 1983.When I was a wee sprog working in Rockbottom Music in Croydon !!

Serial number 188.

If i could upload pics I would but seem to be having trouble with that,

Maybe because I'm Stateside now

All the best
