VF Models
Vintage Fretted Series

F Bass' VF5 captures the vibe, feel, and accurate tone reproduction of the classic ‘60s and ‘70s basses but feature modern advantages such as; easy access to the higher frets, an onboard preamp, and a solid low B string. This model is made for those players who prefer a more traditional sound and feel, as opposed to the more modern standard F Bass line of instruments. The two separate volumes allow you to blend the two pickups in any amount of each, not limiting you to the fixed levels of a blend control. The passive tone control functions whether in passive or active mode enabling it to modify a different set of frequencies than the ones affected by the active tone controls.

The basses feature a 34 inch scale length, a choice of maple or rosewood fingerboards, and alder or ash bodies. The rosewood chosen for the fingerboard is a very close substitute for the rare Brazilian Rosewood, with a very similar cellular structure, grain colouration, and “ping tone”. As with our other models, the VFs are well balanced standing or sitting and are a joy to play.
