TheGreek Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Lovely grain/figuring on the body of this (cheap) bass https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Bass-Guitar/112659778570?hash=item1a3b0bcc0a:g:5TYAAOSwEaBaHAj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 They were not a bad bass, I brought one new when they first came out, it was a bit of a "meh" bass, it played ok, sounded ok and looked ok and that was about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I had the 5 string version, later ones had black hardware IIRC. Played well enough, body was bubinga I think, preamp was terrible though with that brittle tinny treble frequency all budget preamps had at the time. A cheapo Artec or something would improve it tenfold. Paid £50 for it and sold it on here for a similar amount #nocrook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I've never actually tried one of Vintage's bases, though I've owned one of their guitars for years and always thought it was a great instrument for the money. If that specimen was built after a certain date then it will have Wilkinson pickups and hardware in it, which are not to be sniffed at around this price point!

uk_lefty Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 A mate of mine had one of these and played tons of gigs with it, always sounded good in his hands. £50 is a good deal from where I'm sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
