Hi, just joined, asked a question about my 1983 Vigier Nautilus Arpege bass guitar ..... the very one featured in Tony Bacons Ultimate guitar book ( page 179) and this site popped up, so here we are ! Been playing bass and cello since 1963 as a kiddo, i am from North Devon in UK, but currently live in Portugal for last 18 years , and although 76, still play in various bands , usually 2/3 times a week ! There yah go so far! I have a collection ( like most ) of about 25 Basses , including the 2nd bass i ever got , a 1964 Fender Jazz, include 4/5/8 string jobbies, of all era`s...... My initial enquiry is i have forgotten the name of the material used on my 1983 Vigier Nautilus bass ? Could it be Fenolic ( Phenolic).... answers welcome!
