The Vintage V51 ReIssued Bass is distinguished by its USA Alder body, renowned for its lightweight and resonance, which facilitates a broad dynamic range of tones. This quality wood not only enhances the bass's sonic capabilities but also ensures long-playing comfort, making it suitable for both studio sessions and live performances. The natural balance of low, mid, and high frequencies makes it a versatile choice for any genre.
At the heart of the V51's sound is a single-coil pickup that captures its alder body's natural acoustic properties, delivering crisp, articulate tones. This pickup configuration offers clarity and power without sacrificing the nuances of the bass’s rich harmonic content. Simple yet effective controls for volume and tone allow for easy sound shaping, providing musicians with the flexibility to craft their unique sound.
The inclusion of top-tier Wilkinson WJBL175 open-geared machine heads and a Wilkinson WBB4C four-saddle brass bridge on the V51 not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also its functional reliability. This hardware ensures stable tuning and precise intonation, crucial for maintaining consistent performance standards whether in the studio or on stage. The added Graph Tech nut further aids in reducing string friction, enhancing tuning stability.
The Vintage V51 combines the classic good looks of early bass designs with modern playability and features. The sleek, one-piece maple neck and 20 fret maple fingerboard provide a smooth, comfortable playing experience. Additionally, the stylish Vintage Blonde finish and the practical single-ply black scratchplate add to its visual appeal, making it a standout instrument that respects its roots while embracing contemporary needs.
