Kalwynn Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi there ! I'm from the west of France but I work in the Paris area at the moment. I play the bass since I'm a teenager (I'm 35 now), and I have two small bands since last september. I'm the lucky owner of a '91 Fender Precision Plus, a late 90's Fender JB (JPN) '75 reissue, and a Squier Precision Classic Vibe '50. My favorite artists are mostly soul/funk artists : Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Kool & the Gang, George Benson, Chaka Khan, Patti Austin, The Commodores... to name a few. I joined you here for at least 3 reasons : - the community here seems very nice ; - I need to improve my English ; - I'd like to purchase a Status bass and they are pretty rare in France.

Bbiigg Kev Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Kalwynn, What do you think of Vigier basses ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalwynn Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Thanks for your messages ! @Jacques : Tu veux dire que ce n'est pas le bon endroit pour faire de bonnes affaires ? Sympa la Normandie, j'ai vécu 2 ans à Caen, un très bon souvenir ! @ Cédric : Didn't see your questions on your introduction topic before, left my answer there. @ Kev : Unfortunately I don't know much about Vigier. I remember the Excalibur guitar had a good reputation. And I like the shape of the head. The basses being sold in France are pretty expensive (1200 to 2500€) so I believe they play well and/or are quite rare or sought after.
