Ahhh damn, sorry dude! Soon I'm sure, and I'm very intrigued to see how it looks. And hear! You'll have to post some clips of it too In fact, I'd actually really like to hear the tone variation between some of the old basses compared to the new ones!

Dude! Do you have it yet, I'm sure you do! Let's see it! 😁😁 Well. It's been quite a while since I visited Basschat to my shame. Damn I've just been catching up on some seriously sexy Vigier action!

He said hi back. Wow, it was a great show this year - the biggest I've seen it there. Almost like going back in time to the golden age of guitar shows, so many good stands!

Awesome, come and say hi!

That low B was the absolute winner for me! Good man, I'm working on the High Tech stand this weekend with Ben, he was telling me about your new one. It's going to be sexy! I've got to say the Vigier lot are all absolute gems, such a great bunch!

bloody hell, that's a mega list! I missed off another Ibanez and a short stint with a 7 string bass, but still mine pales in comparison to that monster load!! And on another note, turns out it was your actual no1 that I played that set me off on my Vigier quest! Where did you order your purple beast from?

Ok I just had to go look that up - it's bonkers! The demo on the Roland site is crazy, damn. I've never heard of Bubby Lewis before, how the freaking hell does he manage to play that fast?? And the fact that it's picking everything up nicely - awesome.

@mattbass6 Man, that's an awesome journey there - it's great having a prior collection like that, I've got a similar sort of track record. Many many basses have crossed my palms - 2 Stingrays, 2 Ibanezes, 6 Warwicks, 2 Yamahas, A Cort, a Satellite but never a Precision or a Jazz alas. I had pretty much the same waking revelation, and ordered this beauty. It's the first time I've actually thought about being a one bass man, it's been a very long time! @ped I remember the good old days of Bassworld, I seem to recall being quite active on there for a while. That's crazy you managed to find one with no electronics! How?? Well you've added some serious mods to it, I bet it sounds great. How do you find bass with the Roland pickup thing? I've never really played around guitar synth stuff before, does it track well on bass?

You'll have to talk me through all of those mods on it, I'm very intrigued, and also feeling quite GASsy. I'm seriously impressed you managed to get hold of 3 vintage Vigiers!
