Passion Bass IV
The reinforced neck is also present on the new Passion which boasts an alder body with a maple top and back. A pair of noiseless custom Delano single coil pickups with a new 3 band EQ electronic are also included.
Excess Roger Glover Signature Bass
The Excess signature shares the same features found on the Vigier Excess II Original Bass; French Alder body, solid quick-release bridge and Benedetti pickups. The Roger Glover model also includes 3-band EQ electronics and phosphorescent fret markings.
Marilyn
The new Marilyn is powered by two high gain DiMarzio pickups and the jack output has been repositioned on the side for a safer connection. As an option, the guitar is ready to receive two active EMG pickups.
