B-stock guitars are instruments that come with cosmetic defects and minor playability issues that prevent them from being sold as brand new. These guitars may have imperfections such as scratches, dings, finish flaws, or blemishes on the body, neck, or headstock. Additionally, they might exhibit slight irregularities in playability, like minor fret buzz, slightly high action, or intonation quirks. Despite these flaws, B-stock guitars are fully functional and offer a more affordable option for musicians looking to own a quality instrument without paying the premium price for a flawless model.
The Vintage V4BBL keeps the low end pumping by virtue of a classic split coil pickup design. Utilising Alnico V magnets, chosen especially for their preservation of the sub frequencies, the V4BBL provides a rock solid foundation on which to build your groove.
Whether you're searching for your first bass or your last, every member of the Vintage ReIssued Series is a keeper. Play on.
