V96 Active
The combination of a chunky Wilkinson double coil
bass pickup and powerful 3-band onboard EQ,
controlled by active bass, mid and treble rotaries,
takes the sound of the Vintage EST96 active
basses from smooth and mellow traditional bass
guitar tones all the way to
super-funky contemporary grooves.
“The V96 is certainly one of the
most comfortable bass guitars
I’ve ever played.
...a very capable performer.”
