ARTICLE N° 101653
The innovative structure of the VSBA-HL5 is based on a lightweight VSS frame, combining a resin base and an alder body. This meticulous choice of materials is not only aesthetic, it optimizes the balance and lightens the weight, making long hours of playing less tiring. Add to that the Vox Headless system, which simplifies adjustments thanks to diagonally placed tension knobs. No more tuning hassles! You will benefit from formidable precision, essential for capturing the most subtle nuances of your playing.

At the heart of this bass are Aguilar microphones and a preamp, renowned for their exceptional sound quality. These components make it easy to juggle between deep grooves and punchy riffs. Whether you are in a funk, jazz or rock context, the VSBA-HL5 adapts to your style. The perfect connection between the neck and body, reinforced by the Deep Bolt-on Joint, amplifies the vibrations of the strings, delivering a rich and resonant sound.

Made in Japan, the VSBA-HL5 focuses on impeccable quality, from the choice of materials to the final assembly. Every detail, no matter how small, reflects the excellence of Japanese craftsmanship. This precision is also reflected in the unique design of the headstock, which enhances resonance without adding excessive weight. This bass does not just meet your expectations, it exceeds them by delivering a smooth and harmonious playing experience.
