ped Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I love that #213 mate... it is 1986 though I think. Show us some more pics!! You are right Kev, that is in amazing condition for its age! Mine looks like it has been dragged through a hedge backwards - and so does #213 above! Gotta love 'em though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I seem to remember the front of #213 has that same finish 'cracking' as your beauty - it looks awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeward2004 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 That is a seriously good looking bass, and knowing how good Vigiers are Im sure it plays superb! My Passion III 5 string is so good it plays itself. The guys in my band love its sound and everyone loves the looks. Im jealous. Seriously - Vigiers are awesome, im yet to play a bad one.

The only thing that requires work are the eq settings, The bass sounded great by itself however lost a lot of tone when the band kicked in, but my eq is set for another bass and i will tweak over the next few gigs till its sorted! I love it and cant put it down Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeward2004 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 WHen you find that "sweet spot" on the EQ for this bass, you will realise that people have a permanent "skydive" face as your bass blasts them to the back of the room! Try boosting the low mids - that helped a lot for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
