DISC Vintage VCB Electro Acoustic Bass, Mahogany

Full Description

All-Mahogany Construction

The Vintage VVB comes equipped with a solid mahogany top that offers a natural compression, creating strong fundamentals with a clear, direct focus. The solid top is attached to rich-sounding mahogany back and sides which produce a resonant distinct warmth. Additionally, used as back and side panels, the mahogany delivers a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity that will please most playing styles. This sonically-pleasing mixture of tonewoods produces a fat full-bodied acoustic sound, offering warmth, and resonance with a powerful response. In particular, the VCB's all-mahogany build produces an idyllic tone for blues, roots music and slide techniques, but is able to handle numerous genres and playing styles with ease.

Fishman Presys+

Equipped with a Fishman pickup and preamp system, the Vintage VCB is ideal for stage, studio and rehearsal use, perfect for the performing and recording musician. Additionally, a quality Fishman Sonicore pickup is fitted to faithfully pick up the VCB's stunning natural depth and sonic-characteristics beautifully. Furthermore, the signal is fed through to the preamp system which features rotary controls that enable the player to tweak their amplified sound to personal preference. The controls on offer include volume, bass, middle, treble, notch, and brilliance. In addition, a phase button is included that reducing undesirable feedback when plugged in. If that's not enough the Fishman Presys+ also features a built-in tuner that has a bright, easy-to-read LED screen, perfect for tuning up or down even within the darkest of venues.

Eastern Mahogany Neck & Lignum Rosa Fingerboard

Constructed from Eastern mahogany, the VCB's neck absorbs more string vibration, compressing the attack slightly whilst its natural open pores offer an incredible response. Eastern mahogany's nature allows it to respond greatly to numerous techniques with equal ease. Furthermore, the neck is topped with a lignum rosa fingerboard that adds warmth and clarity to the overall tone whilst providing a smooth, energetic playing experience.
