phsycoandy Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Pic didn't really capture the colour, but the only one in this colour apparently, sadly not mine but I did have the pleasure of giving her a good slap, the neck is to die for.

kodiakblair Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Holy Moly !!! Vigier. Living proof that GAS never dies. First saw them in Guitarist 30 odd year back and wanted one ever since. Little time and even less ability mean they're far above my needs. But I still wants one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 We've been talking about Vigiers elsewhere so thought it was time to bump this - I know there are more Vigier players out there!! Final update of my two [url=https://flic.kr/p/M24WsS][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/M24WsS]Vigier Passion #733 (1988) and Vigier Arpege #93 (1986)[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/chiscocks/]Christopher Hiscocks[/url], on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbiigg Kev Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Hi, I have an Arpege 111 four string and an Arpege 111 fiver, dogs bollocks basses me thinks !!! Edited February 8, 2017 by Bbiigg Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbiigg Kev Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Vigier Arpege 111 from 1991, yes she has had a hard life, but still a fantastic bass !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Very nice. They really changed the shape with the series 3 basses didn't they? I remember seeing that one on eBay, didn't someone try installing a pick guard?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbiigg Kev Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) They didn't try, they succeeded !!! They removed all original pick ups and electronics and for some reason fitted a pick guard, hence the seven screw holes, six fitted with plugs and one left open, you can see it by the Vigier logo on body. It actually doesn't look bad in the flesh but this was done for some reason ? The bass was put back to as near as possible the original spec with new pick ups from Vigier and new electronics, Vigier could not supply original spec electronics and so this was fitted with the best available current electronics that Vigier recommended as the closest replacement for original spec, this was confirmed to me when I took the bass on one of my trips to the Vigier factory and work carried out was inspected by Vigier luthier Alex whilst I was there. Its had a decent job done and it and actually plays and sounds fine, just not 100% in the looks department. Not a problem for me as its a keeper for me at the moment.

Bbiigg Kev Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 My Arpege 111 five string bass, 2003 custom order from Patrice and I waited eight months for it. But well worth the wait I think !!! I will do some better pics later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Almost matching. Really nice. Have you recorded anything with either of them? I may have some exciting Vigier news soon, watch this space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbiigg Kev Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The five string yes, I will put some on later Ped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 This is winging its way to me from Spain. A member here was going to buy it so I helped them out with some info. They decided against it so I took over. It's a series 1, fretless five string. I've never seen one before. Hopefully Patrice V will be able to tell me when it was made as it pre-dates the serial number database.

thodrik Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 That is a funky looking bridge! I'm interested to know what all the various knobs and switches do as well. Great buy!
