Oomo Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Am treating myself to a new jazz bass soon, and really taken with the looks, sound, and construction of the Vincent Metropol basses (https://vincent-bassguitars.de/en/). Anyone had any experience playing these? I can't find much info, but heard generally good things, and like the few videos and sound clips I've heard. However I've heard a lot more about his precision style basses (the Akkurat model I think), not so much about the j-style ones, which is why I'm hesitant.

Has pretty much everything I was after in a jazz bass. If not that, I'll probably go with a Sandberg, which is a bit more of a known quantity (but less interesting to me).

Old Horse Murphy Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Not sure where you're based but Bass Direct have had these in stock before so you may be able to a/b it directly with a Sandberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
