tolchoco Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Regarding the electronics, the knob closest to the pickup selector should be a push pull knob. Pulling that knob it should be activating the preamp. Have you checked that? That push-pull knob works as a boost/cut for the frecuency that you can select with the pot that is nearby (the one near the phase/out of phase switch). Some people do not like it but for my taste is a ver smooth preamp. Edited October 31, 2021 by tolchoco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Love love LOVE Vigiers of this era. If it was fully functional it would be the Panacea (had one the same during the 80's) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, yes the volume knob is push pull, but i couldn't hear any difference in sound when turning the other knobs....but i'll try again this week. Thanks!

ped Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Volume pull gives a boost. You need to pull the knob next to the vol to engage the sweepable mids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misdee Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Vigiers of this era are amongst the very best basses I have ever played , and I've been playing a frighteningly long time 😄. They sound fantastic, and the aesthetics are just exquisite. I look at this beautiful bass and wonder to myself why Vigier don't still make them like this nowadays? It would be worth enquiring if Vigier could service the bass to put it back in perfect order, if it needs it . This is a rare gem that someone will cherish, no doubt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 And you have to use the side mounted output jack to have acces to all the preamp features. The front mounted will give you the bridge pickup only or the pickups after the selector (switch), straight out without any other control. Both have been seen on these early Vigier's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wright/watt Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 There is a reason these don't come up to often? It is because they are so good!! The preamp looks exactly the same as on my old Arpege series 1..Somebody please by this, So I don't have too!! GLWTS👍😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
