Looking through the Vintage range, I have infact decided that my next bass will be the Vintage AV4+1:

Nice!

My vintage Musicman copy will always have a special place in my heart
If only it were a little less destroyed, I'd still be playing it.

A played a Vintage Stringray copy the first ever time I played bass. And my first guitar was also a Vintage. I've had two Vintage basses, and will have my third asap.

got a nice 80s JV Squier pickup in the P now, sounds great! Big improvement on the wilkinson pickup

I used to have the vintage ES-335 copy guitar guitar. Not a bass though sorry.

That looks gorgeous... rarely do I see a take on the Jazz shape which 'works'. Tasty.

I agree! They also have it in a sunburst too. Can't decide between them. They have the same colours for the 4 string (AV4) and also a lovely white with a black pickguard. I just wish they did the 5 string in it.

[Kev]

they are very tasty....

[lemmywinks]

A little bit reminiscent of a Pedulla too, no bad thing!

The headstock lets those AV's down for me, love the look from there down.

I might be able to get one for review actually..

That'd be great if you could give one a decent review! AV4+1 would be ideal as that's what I'm after can't seem to find anything other than the specs around the net.

My Vintage V4 is a storming P-bass clone - great as a backup or beater bass. Yours for £85. See: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=55141"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=55141[/url]

yeah, it's the same headstock as the encore basses as they're made by the same company.

Top notch for the cash.I,ve got a v4 with schaller tuners,wizard thumper and a badboy copy bridge.The other basses are worried now.
Total outlay-just under 100 quid-awesome.
Plays like a dream.

Did you mange to make any progress with getting an AV4+1 for review? Still hoping to get one as soon as possible but I need a new laptop first (and looking to buy a MacBook Pro isn't going to leave me with a lot free )

These look interesting to me as they have P bass width necks. An upgrade of the p/ups (Nordstands have my ear at the moment) and maybe a little reshaping of the headstock (it seems a bit bulbous) and that would be good to go. I really like the bridges on these Vintage Advances. That white is sweet.
