With its contemporary looks, ergonomic styling and Wilkinson designed pickups and hardware the V80 bass guitar really raises the bar. A 24 fret fingerboard with a high access joint for the maple neck. Its simple, one Wilkinson Platinum Series WJM pickup layout belies its massive tonal range and dynamic response. The pickup is a clever crossbreed of traditional double and single coil design, and indeed you can switch between the two effortlessly thanks to the ingenious roll-control which gradually rolls out the fat powerhouse double coil to leave the bright and punchy single coil in all its glory. Play on.
