A PASSIVE BASS FOR VINTAGE ENTHUSIASTS

The V5 is a true passive jazz bass loaded with vintage-inspired features in both tone and style. Designed for players who appreciate an authentic vintage feel, it offers the added advantage of a comfortable neck—all at an exceptional value.


ALL-VINTAGE BODY


Constructed with an alder body, a roasted maple neck featuring rolled fretboard edges, and equipped with the Marcus Vintage pickup set and bridge, this bass delivers an authentic vintage character.

ROASTED HARD MAPLE NECK


A distinctive quality of aged wood, achieved through the meticulous process known as torrefaction, in which the wood is carefully heat-treated to enhance its stability, resonance, and vintage-like tonal character.

SIMPLE PASSIVE CONTROLS


Enable players to easily shape and add their personal touch to the classic vintage jazz tone.
