A Vintage Classic Designed for Left-Handed Players
The V5 Alder-4 LH Black adopts the codes of iconic basses from the 60s/70s, with a deliberately simple and effective approach. Its roasted maple neck provides a pleasant "aged wood" feel to the touch while improving the instrument's stability and consistency against temperature and humidity changes. The result: a reliable left-handed bass, ready for studio, rehearsals, and gigs.
A Versatile Bass for Progression and Band Playing
Designed for left-handed players, this 4-string electric bass is suitable for demanding beginners as well as intermediate or advanced musicians seeking a simple-to-adjust, highly musical passive platform. It excels in funk, soul, jazz, pop, and rock, with excellent mix clarity and a dynamic response that highlights the right hand, from fingerstyle to pick playing.
The Sound
The combination of the alder body and two Jazz-style single-coil pickups delivers a full, articulated, and punchy sound. The passive V-V-T wiring (neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, master tone) allows fine sculpting of your tone: neck pickup for deep, warm, "woody" roundness; bridge pickup for bite and the famous growl; and both together for a natural, very musical mid scoop. The vintage-style "Marcus Vintage" bridge contributes to precise attack and consistent note sustain, while the roasted neck promotes a sensation of quick and stable response.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
For a 4-string bass with a 34" / 864 mm scale length, opt for a set of Long Scale strings. A gig bag or hard case designed for a 34" electric bass will protect the instrument daily. A comfortable strap and universal strap locks can also improve stage comfort, as well as a standard-format bass stand.
