Vantage VP-710B Bass

Japansk kvalitetsbass, bygget på Matsumoku i 1980. Den originale stol/strengeholder er "altid" gået i stykker på denne model. Derfor har jeg fremskaffet og monteret en helt ny. Den har også fået nye strenge. Ellers er bassen i original og god stand. Jeg gætter på at der sidder DiMarzio pickupper på bassen. Sagen er nemlig at pickuppernes poler skal justeres med en unbraco nøgle der er i USA tommemål. Japanerne ville have brugt noget i millimeter mål, hvis de havde fremstillet pickupperne. Bassen bor i sin originale kasse.
