EKO VJB ¾ SB
Have you always wanted to take up the electric bass, but the long neck and big strings scare you compared to a guitar? Don't panic, the Eko VJB ¾ is a small-scale electric bass with timeless jazz lines! With its shorter pitch, playability is far more accessible and ergonomic, with smaller squares and less acrobatic finger gaps. Perfect, therefore, for children or small players. What's more, with its passive electronics consisting of 2 single J-type pickups and its satin-finish 21-fret maple neck, the VJB ¾ bass presents a comfort and versatility of sound that will delight any bassist starting out on his musical adventure.
Highlights
Timeless jazz lines in ¾-size!
The timeless offset silhouette that inspired the design of the Eko VJB 3/4 format needs no introduction: the characteristic double notch guarantees excellent access to the last frets, combined with two single pickups and a 4-bridge bridge/cordier block, but here with a reduced scale (761 mm) for ease of playing! This "short scale" or 3/4 format makes this an attractive electric bass, highly ergonomic and easy to play for children and smaller players. Guitarists who also want to take up the bass without suffering from acrobatic positions between the cases will be delighted, while retaining a true bass sound.
Quality lutherie.
Despite its affordable price, the VJB 3/4 has been carefully crafted to offer bassists new to the instrument an attractive, well-finished bass. The body, made from poplar for strength, is highlighted by a high-gloss varnish. The sturdy, comfortable 4-point screwed maple neck is topped by an Eko resin WPC (Wood Polymers Composites) fingerboard, bringing stability and warmth to the maple snap.
A versatile configuration.
As for the electronics, the VJB 3/4 is equipped with 2 J-type single-coil pickups with their familiar layout, much appreciated for their snap, midrange and versatility. Very much at home on warm, clear sounds, they can also be very biting and percussive when combined with powerful distortion. To extend the sonic possibilities, a volume control for each pickup and a general tone control enable you to mix the characters of the different pickups and adjust their more or less brilliant timbre. The bridge/cordial block incorporates independently adjustable bridges to fine-tune the action and harmonics of each string and ensure effective sustain.
Affordable, versatile and aesthetically pleasing with its timeless silhouette and high-gloss finish, the VJB 3/4 is the ideal instrument for starting out on electric bass with comfort and ease, without breaking the bank.
