Jimsuth Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) This Bass made by the french company Vigier was made in the early 80's it is a very special and rare item. You are unlikely to find another one for sale anywhere. It has active electronics . The bass has a brass plate running right the way through the neck to the tail stock giving it fantastic sustain and depth. The sound can go from funky to rockin and it's a great bass for recording giving plenty of bottom end and a brightness that can cut through any mix...Don't really want to sell it but I am planing a major studio upgrade soon so I need to raise some extra cash for that.. I'm looking for £1400.

LemonCello Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Beautiful example! I don't ever recall seeing one of these anywhere. Doctor of the Bass (Nick) might be along shortly to take a look as he's a bit of a Vigier fan too. Good luck with your sale (and the studio).

Schnozzalee Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 One of the best basses I've played, if not the same one! Don't see many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimsuth Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Cheers, I love it too but I'm not really a bass player. I'm a producer nd I've always kept this as a bass for people to play in my producttions when their own bass isn't great. this is me [url="http://www.jimsutherland.uk.com"]http://www.jimsutherland.uk.com[/url] Edited August 19, 2012 by Jimsuth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Cloud Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I owned a very similar Vigier Arpege in the 80's - an incredible bass. Best of luck with the sale, killer instrument! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
