Super rare bass in gorgeous natural finish! Mid-2000s Vigier Passion 5 string bass made in France by legendary luthier Patrice Vigier. Includes OHSC.
I’m the second owner. The first owner purchased the bass in Europe and brought it with her when she moved to the states. Excellent condition, used mostly in my non-smoking studio, one ding in the finish near the output jack courtesy of the original owner. Set up to factory spec with low, buzz-free action. Selling to help offset the cost of a new custom build.
Please see photos and feel free to message me with any questions.
