Our VF series captures the vibe and accurate tone reproduction of classic '60s and '70s basses, but features modern advantages including easy access to the higher frets, an onboard F Bass preamp, a solid low B string, a modern neck carve, and we offer nearly any option under the sun for true customization. The body shape is similar to that of Fender's Jazz bass so those Fender-exclusive-players will feel right at home. They hang and are carved similarly, however, the edges are rounded a touch more for comfort and the treble horn is curved outwards for those who prefer playing in the seated position.

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 also 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.

As with all of our other models, our VFs are handcrafted right here in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

2013 UPDATE:
-Available as J, P, or PJ and with active or passive electronics
-We're now using Aguilar (New York, USA) pickups in our VF models. We find their AG J-HC & AG P-60 pickups to be perfectly tuned to that warm, mid focused, vintage tone that can really grind when needed.
