General

Made for straight-up rock, the Vintage Reissued Series V4 electric bass guitar is based on a famous model from the fifties, packing similar looks and sound at a fraction of the price you'd pay for a real period piece. This 4-string bass is a solid pick for serious beginners and more advanced players alike and, since this is the SB model, it comes donning a fan-favourite, 3-colour sunburst finish.

The Vintage V4SB: Wilkinson Hardware and Pickups

Look closely and you'll see the natural graining of the poplar used to carve out the body through the paintjob. This wood type adds bright definition to the deep, punchy lows shaped by the mounted Wilkinson PB split single-coil pickup, leaving you with mix-slicing tone when playing with a pick. Meanwhile, the neck of the V4 is made of maple and has been topped with a 20-fret rosewood fretboard for an extra dose of tonal warmth. With Wilkinson hardware including a WBBCCR bridge with 4 adjustable brass saddles and open-gear machine heads to reinforce the build, dependable tuning stability is simply a given.

Vintage

Vintage Guitars started out as a budget brand that unfortunately garnered a number of negative reviews. However, that changed drastically when Trevor Wilkinson, famed for his affordable yet high-quality guitar parts, attached his name to the Vintage brand. Not only did the hardware division receive a shot of quality, but the wood selection and construction methods were also greatly improved. Since then, Vintage has made a name for itself by offering excellent value for money and now holds its own among the ferocious competition in this price range.
