Vib Posted August 22, 2007 at 10:43 AM Share Posted August 22, 2007 at 10:43 AM (edited) Interesting. Thanks for the link. I assume you went for the 101x36mm size humbuckers - were they a good fit? They are just at the good size, 101X45mm. Case is wengu?. I'm not really sure that they are exactly like serial pickups. In fact I tell him size of my bennedetti and i received CREL exactly at the good size... For the same price.

I will indeed have some beers with you, but not too many - I am driving!They are just at the good size, 101X45mm. Case is wengu?. I'm not really sure that they are exactly like serial pickups.In fact I tell him size of my bennedetti and i received CREL exactly at the good size... For the same price.Excellent, thanks for the info. When you said the case is Wengue, does that mean the case is made from a wood which we call 'Wenge' here in the UK - used a lot in Warwick basses?After a long play with my fretless last night I have decided that the pickups in it are fantastic, especially with the bridge soloed, but they can be a bit noisy. I think it is a price worth paying though, as a humbucker in the same position will not have the same sound, and if I coil-tap it, there will be hum again. I think on a fretted bass, the replacements make sense though, and yours look great. Do you have any bigger pictures?Cheers all,ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted August 22, 2007 at 12:41 PM Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 at 12:41 PM Thay look really nice. I love wood covered pickups - these are two I have had in the past: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted August 22, 2007 at 02:11 PM Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 at 02:11 PM Well spotted! It was a very nice bass, but perhaps a little too 'vintage' sounding for my tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zered Posted August 22, 2007 at 02:17 PM Share Posted August 22, 2007 at 02:17 PM And what was that beautifull black one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 22, 2007 at 02:25 PM Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 at 02:25 PM A Bacchus 24F, superb bass. You can see more about it on my website. I recently had to sell it with a Bacchus Jazz bass to pay for the new Vigier, but will hopefully have it back one day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipou Posted August 22, 2007 at 04:22 PM Share Posted August 22, 2007 at 04:22 PM The second bass looks like an Atelier Z too Welcome ped ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted August 23, 2007 at 07:20 AM Share Posted August 23, 2007 at 07:20 AM Yeah it really looks like an Atelier Z ... But both Bossa and Atelier Z are Japanese, so perhaps there's more than a visual similarity between the two ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 23, 2007 at 12:46 PM Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 at 12:46 PM Having played an Altelier Z (owned by Ari who I have seen on this forum too!) I would say his bass is more modern sounding, but the construction is of equally high quality. It is interesting that the Japanese companies tend to use transparent scratchplates - another jazz bass I had featured one: I think they look fantastic though!

ped Posted August 23, 2007 at 01:04 PM Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 at 01:04 PM One of these matey http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2462 A Villex passive booster. The matching chrome knobs were herd to find as they had a pearloid inlay and were quite unusual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alauth Posted August 23, 2007 at 01:33 PM Share Posted August 23, 2007 at 01:33 PM Don't you think that another chrome knob would be nicer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Posted August 23, 2007 at 05:00 PM Share Posted August 23, 2007 at 05:00 PM I love the Vigier Delta Metal. Not easy to find at shop, but it sound really good. But i have already my wal About Bossa, i don't really like this model. I test it, somes years ago, and find nothing else a Fender JB without the right sound for a JB. It's just my opinion, but somes times after i test from Bossa another really killer 5 strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 23, 2007 at 06:16 PM Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 at 06:16 PM I agree - it was very Fender-ish and not quite as good as some I had at the time. It looked stunning though.My Vigier 5 arrived today and I am REALLY happy with it. The G string wouldn't go low enough thanks to the saddle design on the Kahler bridge but once removed it is perfect and sounds very powerful and 'fat'!I Love Opeth BTW!

Lilic Posted August 23, 2007 at 08:15 PM Share Posted August 23, 2007 at 08:15 PM Il dit qu'après une bonne claque contre le mur de briquettes rouges du living, la nouvelle Vigier sonne ? merveille...

K?tchoz comme ?a. J'ai un trou pour "saddle" et j'ai pas de dico sous la main. Edit : saddle, c'est la selle. Il parle donc du dessin de la "selle" sur le chevalet.
