Story

The Eastwood VKB-6 revives the spirit of the ultra-expensive vintage semi-hollow 6-string basses that collectors chase today. They're nearly impossible to find, and often selling for more than $15,000+ on today’s vintage market. See for yourself!

Originally designed to bridge the gap between bass and baritone guitar, instruments like these became famous for their tight, punchy “tic-tac” bass tones heard on countless classic recordings of the 60s and beyond, adding definition, attack, and melodic character that traditional basses simply couldn’t deliver.

Built at our premier Korean factory, the VKB-6 combines exceptional craftsmanship, premium materials, and professional-grade playability worthy of the originals that inspired it. Featuring a resonant maple top with mahogany back and sides, plus a custom-wound vintage-voiced humbucker carefully tuned to capture the character and response of those sought-after classics, the VKB-6 delivers both authenticity and modern reliability in equal measure.

This is the BEST semi-hollow 6-string bass available today. You simply can't find one with this level of quality, attention to detail, and unmistakable vintage-inspired tone. If you've been searching for the ultimate vintage-inspired 6-string bass experience, this is the one you've been waiting for!
