Vincent Metropol basses

[Oomo]

Am treating myself to a new jazz bass soon, and really taken with the looks, sound, and construction of the Vincent Metropol basses (https://vincent-bassguitars.de/en/).

 

Anyone had any experience playing these? I can't find much info, but heard generally good things, and like the few videos and sound clips I've heard.

 

However I've heard a lot more about his precision style basses (the Akkurat model I think), not so much about the j-style ones, which is why I'm hesitant.

Calling @DiMarcois this the same Vincent you have worked with?

Commenting to follow, always liked the look of these Vincent basses, keen to see what people are saying

Yeah, so not something to buy blind lightly! Has pretty much everything I was after in a jazz bass.

 

If not that, I'll probably go with a Sandberg, which is a bit more of a known quantity (but less interesting to me).

Not sure where you're based but Bass Direct have had these in stock before so you may be able to a/b it directly with a Sandberg

South of London unfortunately...but I'm also a lefty which makes things trickier!
