Verdine White Model VWB1
 January 28, 1999The concept of the VWB1 is to meld traditional construction and look, with
modern active electronics. The hard-contoured solid alder Sound Gear body matched
with a thick, round neck gives the bass a solid feel and a rich bass tone with
excellent sustain. The neck is complemented with a gorgeous 24 fret ebony fingerboard
with abalone dot inlays. The pearloid front pickguard and to buckle guard on
the back provide protection to the finish during a raucous Earth Wind & Fire
show. The active Ibanez AFR PJ pickup combination along with a custom designed
three-band EQ provide a warm but focused tone that can only be described as
funky. Simply pulling up the volume knob can activate a variable gain boost.
Details
Hard contour body
The hard contour gives the body a traditional look and a rock solid feel. The
specially designed pearloid pickguard and belt-guard on the rear protect the
lustrous cream finish
All Access Neck joint
The All Access Neck joint tightly secures the neck to the body while allowing
for easy access to the upper registers
Ibanez AFR PJ pickups
This pickup combination allows for maximum tonal flexibility on the stage or
in the studio
Active three-hand EQ / preamp
A specially tuned midrange control allows for radical tone shaping. Pulling
on the volume control kicks in a gain boost circuit for additional volume and
punch. A trim pot inside the control cavity can adjust the amount of gain. For more information, visit Ibanez at http://www.ibanez.com/ |
