90s Vigier (all graphite??)

mouthmw · #1 02-09-2011, 12:16 PM

My guitarist has a side-project band, and the bassist in this band bought a 90s used Vigier bass.
Now, my guitarist claims he told him that it's made out of graphite, not just the neck, but the body too.
That sounds kind of weird to me, all graphite bass guitar?
Guitarist also said it sounded surprisingly nice and warm.

I never heard or found anything about Vigier or any bass for that matter that would be all graphite, just necks.
Any idea about which model he might have?

Here's one, I'm sure there are others.

Yeah, I just found those. Status Graphite.
What about Vigier? Have they ever done a bass like that?

I vaguely remember seeing a full graphite bass from a non-Status, European builder. Vigier? Bogart, maybe?

I cannot remember any Vigier that was fully made of graphite

Then again, I may be wrong

I think they did make some sort of all-carbon fiber bass.
