| Bobby Vega Halfling™ Bass | |
“The beauty of this guitar is that it combines the articulation and projection of the arch top, and bass response of a flat top. It's a unique instrument that allows me to get the maximum expression from any playing style.”
-Bobby Vega
If you appreciate a more versatile instrument, the Bobby Vega Bass' varied tonal palette will be perfect for you! It has a rich harmonic with a round, warm sound quality. The strings are physically longer, due to the tailpiece, making the feel a bit looser. The Bobby Vega Bass has an X braced, solid carved top which is flatter on the bass side and more highly arched on the treble side. It has a solid carved back and a 34" scale neck. The built in bridge pickup is custom made for us by Rick Turner.
We also offer this instrument as a 5-String. Please contact us for pricing.
“This bass is full of fresh revelations and surprises, and to think it is capable of so much at just a couple of weeks age. What will it be capable of in a month? A year? A decade? That is the definition of a great instrument, one that develops along side the artist playing it.” - Chris McMahon
