General

Gain the extended range of an extra low-B string for a super-affordable price thanks to the tight, old-school design of the Vintage V495BLK Coaster Series five-string electric bass. This entry-level stomper features a solid paulownia body and a maple fretboard and neck, which doesn't just look great but lays down a resonant foundation with a light treble-range bite. This is amplified with fullness and warmth by a mounted pair of J-style single-coil Alan Entwistle designed pickups, each loaded with a ceramic magnetic core and wax-potted coil to keep moisture out and prevent any less-welcome buzz, hum and feedback. Tweak the volume of both pickups via the fitted control pots before dialling in the tone and get familiar with a comfortable all-rounder of a bass that's able to take on any genre and playing style.

An All-in-One Pack

But there's so much more than just a solid five-string bass inside this pack, since Vintage has generously included a 10 Watt Kinsman bass amplifier, which is not only perfect for bedroom rehearsals but is light enough to be carried to lessons and jamming sessions. As well as bass, middle and treble controls for moulding your sound, this amp features a headphone output to support more private and silent playing, and so you can plug in your bass straight away, a jack lead also comes included. On top of that, Vintage has thrown in a clip-on tuner, a strap and a plectrum, setting up beginner bassists with a mega-complete bass-based launchpad.
