The Vintage® ReIssued™ Series V42 bass is themed on the company’s popular workhorse double cutaway V4 chassis, famed by the music industry for its ability to adapt to any music genre.

Now, featuring an addition Wilkinson WOJB single coil pickup at the bridge along with the classic split-coil design of the original WOPB, the sonic versatility of the V42 is immense, from tight, piano-like tones, with extended clarity and the ability to effortlessly deliver deep, powerful sub frequencies.

Pin-point accurate intonation and stable tuning are assured with the addition of Wilkinson WJBL175 open-geared tuners, a precision cut Graphtech nut and a fully adjustable Wilkinson WBBC compensated bridge.

With a USA Alder body, hard rock maple neck and 20 fret fingerboard, the Vintage ReIssued Series V42 bass guitar, looks stunning finished in Vintage White with a 3ply tortoise shell scratchplate.
