Supernaut Posted yesterday at 13:40 Posted yesterday at 13:40 Hey, I have somehow landed a new bass. Was looking at an RBX but this came up locally and I snagged it for a great price. I have absolutely no idea if this bass is decent and know no history of the company. Has anyone played or owned one of these? Many thanks. 4 Quote
Bassassin Posted yesterday at 19:35 Posted yesterday at 19:35 Off the top of my head, Vester was a 90s/00s Korean brand of nice quality midrange instruments, which attracted the ire of Fender for obvious reasons, when you look at their logo & the high incidence of Fender copies in their range! Never owned one but always had massive GAS for their swoopy-looking Argus bass. There was one on here for £100 for ages, back when I didn't have £100... 2 Quote
upside downer Posted yesterday at 21:02 Posted yesterday at 21:02 I have one exactly like yours which I bought about 25 years ago for around £30, I think. Had to tinker with it a little to lower the action slightly but I gigged it a few times and it never let me down. In fact, I'm having a noodle on it right now and it feels and sounds really good. Definitely made in Korea, mine has a sticker confirming the fact! 2 Quote

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted yesterday at 21:39 Posted yesterday at 21:39 I don't know anything about their basses but I think when I was a Student in the early 80s, I used to eat their boil-in-th-bag curries. 9 Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago I have a vester custom shop fretless copy of a Warwick thumb . Great bass ,apart from being a little on the heavy side . Great neck and action. A couple of basschatters saw it and were mightily impressed . Never heard any bad comments on bc about vesters . Quote
Supernaut Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago Thanks everyone. I'm hoping it's a sleeper hit. Picking it up tomorrow so fingers crossed for a good 'un. 2 Quote
