Fender Victor Bailey 4 String Acoustic Electric Bass (Natural Dao)
Victor Bailey—man, what a resume. First-call session guy. Solo artist. Consummate sideman. And acoustic bassist extraordinaire. Veteran of more than 1,000 recordings by artists including Weather Report, Michael Brecker, LL Cool J and Mary J. Blige.
And when Fender's designers started working on the Victor Bailey Acoustic/Electric bass, the man himself graciously spent a great deal of time and effort on it with them. The result is a unique instrument: The instrument features a beautifully arched back, figured dao back and sides, a laminated spruce top with a gorgeous dao veneer, an abalone rosette, tortoise-shell binding, a 34”-scale neck modeled on Bailey’s signature Fender Jazz Bass® guitar, satin gold Hipshot® licensed lightweight tuners, Fishman® electronics and a deluxe gig bag.
