The F Bass VF Series captures everything players love about the golden-era ‘60s and ‘70s Fender designs—authentic feel, vintage character, and unmistakable punch—while solving the problems that make chasing the “perfect” vintage bass so frustrating. Hand-built in Hamilton, Canada, the VF blends classic J/P DNA with modern precision, elevated ergonomics, and premium tonewoods for a playing experience that feels familiar yet refined.
This particular VF features a stunning Walnut top over Northern Ash with a Roasted Flamed Maple fingerboard—an exotic twist on the vintage formula that adds warmth, clarity, and serious visual appeal. Aguilar pickups deliver the kind of rich, dynamic, mid-forward tone vintage fans chase: big and wooly when needed, bright and articulate when pushed, and effortlessly musical in any mix. Paired with F Bass’s discreet 9V preamp (with truly transparent EQ and passive bypass), you get studio-grade versatility without ever losing the organic voice of the instrument.
From seated balance to strap comfort to fretwork perfection, every detail has been considered. The result is a bass that feels alive, records beautifully, and stands up to the demands of modern players without sacrificing the soul of a vintage instrument.
If you’ve been searching for a world-class vintage-style J/P platform with boutique craftsmanship and heirloom-level materials, the VF Series makes the quest simple—just plug in and play.
