ped Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 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. 19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grooverjr Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Oof! Bryan Ferry levels of absolute zero coolness in a bass! Must be hard to part with. I hope for your sake it's a swift separation. GLWTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wright/watt Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Sorry to hear you have to sell this wonderful bass @ped though in these times I understand why! What a beauty...These basses, are in my very humble opinion as good as they get.. GLWTS👍😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
