Why should right handers have all the fun? At Vintage we believe that everybody should have the opportunity to play the bass of their choice, so we're now offering more left handed models than ever before.
Glide in and out of notes, creating basslines that sing with a unique timbre, blurring the lines between rock and jazz. The Vintage LV74MRJP is ideal for those players who operate on the fringes, for whom musical expression is everything; slide whole chords up and down the neck, decorate your bass lines with false harmonics and fretless vibrato – this bass is ready to accompany you right to the very edge.
The Vintage LV74MRJP ICON bass replicates the beautiful, worn-in look and feel of an instrument that exhibits a lifetime's worth of woodshedding, rehearsing and performing, straight out of the box. Good things come to those who wait – but who has the time for that?
A Vintage ICON Series Bass already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is your journey is just beginning. Play on.
