Greco TVB

B003716

From the heady days of the late 80s and early 90s, when the brand catalogues were over 100 pages long, there was so much to choose from. The vintage traditional models were still very popular, but there was strong calling for modernization - a new chapter in guitar and bass design was started. With pointy headstocks, outrageous hairstyles, carpets of effects pedals, and a sense of power being very important, this TVB was part of that movement. The general aesthetic is not a victim of fashion though - like the better known Yamaha RBX range, these guitars have stood the test of time well.

2 fine sounding humbuckers provide a very wide range of tones with the blending and simple tone controls - most styles are on call here. Don't confuse these pick-ups with the Select by EMG items - these are vastly better and hotter. We could give Coney Island a call to make us some passive Neodymium EMG crushers, but probably give these a go first - they are surprisingly good.

We have replaced the original bridge with a new High Mass Gotoh unit - these are simple drop in replacements but they transform the character of the bass and add a depth to the sound as well as enhance the sustain.

A modern looking medium scale bass, in great playing condition, and a requirement of its next owner to forgive a couple of dings on the back edges. No-one sees them from the front, and they are reminders that the bass is over 30 years old.
