korus79 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Here you are .... I'm not a real good photograph, and if you need more precise point of view of specific parts of the bass, do not hesitate to ask for it. Thanks for your interest. kORUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopthebass Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Great basses. Its usually better to suggest a price. You'd probably get more response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I have just been given 1k from my grandmothers will, I think she would like me to have spent it on something useful. I will be going to bed early tonight with chronic GAS pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest 1500£ (insurance and shipping costs to be added on top) for a piece of collection. Edited February 10, 2008 by korus79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Well I just shelled out 1K of hard earned (and saved) cash for my series 3 5 string passion so I don't know if I could justify more than that on another! I think I will share it out with everyone. I shan't be sharing it with any Irish or Welsh members, however. Or any Scottish members. Or Northerners. Or anyone not near Oxford. Or anyone not in my road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themoo Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 One of my fav basses was a Vigier Arpege. Desperately trying to get one of those back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately trying to get one of those back! [/quote] I don't think the Arpège and the Passion are so far from each other, by the way... It seems like if you enlarge your search to Arpège AND Passion, you may have more chance to get one. Plus if you liked the Arpège, may it be slightly different, you won't be disappointed by Passion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Good grief! Having played Ped's Vigier and being a fan of 6 strings, i reckon this example would be nothing short of stunning to play! Just out of interest, I know the Vigiers have a nice narrow string spacing. Is this one a 16mm? looks like it a bit in the pics. Spot on if it is!

It's a pain to do, but once it's done, it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Class act. I had another plonk around on Ped's 4 and 5 string Vigiers at the weekend. I never knew there were 6 strings around! Hope it goes to a worthy home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
