ped Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Hehe. I am lucky enough to have found 'the one (fretted and fretless, ahem)' so I don't think I will buy another bass, to be honest! This means I have a bit of money for the first time ever and can waste money on other expensive hobbies!! Cheerz pedro

N[/quote] Yeah the red/burgundy one. Astonishingly playable neck, crazily thin, just makes playing it an absolute pleasure. Gonna get the dings sorted out and possibly a strip and refinish on the lacquer but nothing's in stone yet. Oh yeah and I'll definitely be getting a proper battery compartment fitted.

Had plenty of interest but nobodies yet to come and play it or see it in the flesh.I must stress that this vigier really is in mint! mint! mint! condition and plays and sounds amazing! So anyone after a bass like this you're more than welcome to give it a try if you're passing this neck of the woods.There is one of a similar year for sale on ebay at the moment over in italy which looks a bit rough to tell you the truth,and he's asking for 1200 euros (£1150)! so by comparison this could be a chance to snap up a rather good deal!? Thanks again for looking,mick.

thedontcarebear Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I can't believe no-one has bought this, if I was after a bass, this would be it for definite, I can't think of anything anywhere near as good for that money (apart from Sandberg, but they are very different!).

Someone do themselves a favour and buy this! Put it this way- I've played about 15 Vigiers over the years, including 4 owned by forum members. They're all superb instruments! (And have a free bump!)
