Very rare early 80's Vigier Arpege Bass for sale great condition!

[Jimsuth]

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.

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).

One of the best basses I've played, if not the same one! Don't see many.

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.
