With the Mayones Viking 4 VF Antique Black, the boutique manufacturer from Gdansk, Poland, presents an electric bass in a trendy multiscale design that boasts agile playing characteristics and multi-faceted noble sounds. For the neck-through of the four-string bass guitar, Mayones uses the finest woods, while pickups and electronics from Aguilar take care of the electrical sound conversion. High-quality hardware, whose functionality is optimally matched to the Viking 4 VF, completes the four-string.
The contemporary Multiscale construction of the Viking VF provides each string with its optimal vibration length, so that the bass offers a particularly balanced and even sound from the highest to the lowest note. While the full-length wenge maple neck features a flat D-profile for agile playing characteristics on the ebony fingerboard, the ash top set off with a wenge veneer on the swamp ash body provides the dignified look.
For the pickups on the Viking V-Fret, Mayones chooses two Aguilar DCB humbuckers. Equipped with double ceramic blade magnets, the pickups deliver a full and balanced sound that captures every nuance of bass playing in detail. An active Aguilar 3-band tone control is also on board for precise adjustment of the sound in lows, mids and highs. The mini-switch also switches the four-string into passive mode, where a separate treble cutoff is available.
