[only4]

Hi just a quick question, has anybody got any experience of the Mania vtb-4b bass.
It's just that i have seen a uesd one for £100 and it looks and plays well.
But i can't find any useful info about them. Cheers.

Ok Guys if my information is correct Mania Bass Guitars are Manufactured by Eikosha Music, Japan they have Factories in China/Malaysia and Vietnam where they make the Mania bass Guitars with strict Quality controls as laid down by the Japan Facility unfortunately I'm not sure if they are still being made, but there is The VTB-4BS which has the same spec as mine but with black hardware and without the Dragon inlay - at £365 from getmusical.co.uk

I have the Mania VTB-4B with Dragon Inlays to the Headstock and Fretboard and Birds Eye Patterned Body the spec is as follows -> Solid Bubinga body - Neck thru construction(5 ply neck Nato/Hard Maple) - Gold Machine Heads and hardware - Rosewood Fingerboard/24 frets - 2 Kramer Active Humbuckers - Controls > 1 x Vol + Active EQ(Balance,Treble, Bass)

That's a brief outline of the Mania Brand and the spec of mine so if you wonder what it sounds like simply - awesome - the bass is not that heavy and hangs on the shoulder neatly balanced, I would say that these would be very near the top of mid range Basses for quality that retail from £400 to £600 and would be suitable for professionals and recording and personally my overall rating would be an emphatic 10/10 for looks and playability

if anyone else has any further info on these Mania Basses please add it to this post as all would be welcome even if I have to be corrected on the info I have given many thanks for reading best regards Tony (Musicmutt_uk)
