Versatile tones

Equipped with a set of Wilkinson’s bar pickups, the Vintage VJ74 delivers crisp and clean tones, packed with a wide sonic palate to suit a variety of playing styles. These pickups offer a performance and tonal capabilities worthy of a high-end bass, with clean note definition and an excellent dynamic range ideal for anything you throw at it. Also equipped are independent volume controls and master tone, the Vintage Icon bass allowing you to tweak your tone to match a multitude of stunning soundscapes, suitable for any setting.

High-quality construction

Alongside its stunning vintage tones, the VJ74 also offers an incredibly comfortable performance. Its body has been constructed from lightweight Eastern poplar, which delivers a beautifully broad dynamic range ideal for a wide variety of playing styles. Combined with a hard maple neck and fingerboard, this bass produces sweet tones with plenty of brightness and volume to create punchy mids, thick lows, and a sparkling high-end.

Thanks to its lightweight construction and smooth feel of the maple, you're guaranteed to receive an incredibly comfortable playing experience. To create that iconic look of an instrument that's seen decades of playing, the Vintage VJ74 is coated with a distressed black finish and worn lacquer to give it that worn in appearance.

Excellent string stability

The heart of a good bass lies with the string anchoring, and the addition of an adjustable bridge, graphite nut, and Wilkinson machine heads make sure that's the way it stays. This model's bridge comes designed with a face mounted and fully adjustable construction, perfect for maximising the bottom end tone. Thanks to the Wilkinson WJBL200 machine heads, the V4 provides an incredibly smooth action for quick and easy tunings, while the elephant ear style tuning keys add to the V4's classic appearance.
