Here for sale we have a Vintage VJ74 Electric Bass in Gloss Black finish. This bolt-on neck construction consists of an Alder body, a Maple neck, and a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include open-gear vintage-style tuners, a 4-saddle Chrome bridge, and two Wilkinson Jazz Bass Single Coil pickups that are wired to a neck volume, bridge volume, and a master tone control.
 
This Maple neck, with typical "D" profile found on most Jazz basses, plays very comfortably. The satin finish to the rear makes for fluid and tactile playing surface while the Rosewood fingerboard offers a durable platform for the player's fingers. Classic Jazz Bass body contours are comfortable in the arms, with the cutaways giving great access to the upper register.
 
The two Wilkinson Jazz Bass single coil pickups that come with this guitar provide excellent articulation and clarity, which is exactly what you want when playing the fretless bass so that the unique timbre can be heard cutting through the mix at all times. The simple control layout means you dial in warm, low end Jazz tones or punchy bridge tones that cut straight through the mix.
 
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
