About This Artist Vintage Hybrid, a P-J styled Bass
The Artist Vintage Hybrid Bass is an innovation model that blends the traditional P-style Bass and J-style Bass features.
It comes with a white-gloss finished Poplar body, 3-ply black scratchplate, matte finish natural Canadian Maple neck and headstock, 20 frets on an Eco-Rosewood fretboard with dot inlays, an ABS nut and open-geared chrome tuners.
With a newly designed active preamp circuit that can deliver exhilarating active and passive tones, our Artist Vintage Hybrid Bass is great for both a classic vintage sound and keeping up with the demands of the modern bassist. The Vintage Hybrid P-J bass features passive P-style and J-style pickups, with an added EQ control from the active preamp. The cut/boost controls for both treble and bass make this an incredibly versatile bass guitar. There is a 9V battery chamber on the rear of the body for easy battery replacement.

Excellent Bass Guitar and even better Customer Ser
I have been on the Artist database for a few years and finally decided to take the leap and purchase an Artist Vintage Hybrid P-J styled Bass. WOW! I'm impressed. Whilst I'm not a pro, this Bass is exactly what I've been looking for and is exceptionally good value for money. The tones are crisp and clean, it plays extremely well and the unit is a lot lighter than most Bass Guitars which is better for my ageing back! On top of all this, the customer service was impeccable and the delivery was fast. Keep up the great work team. I will definitely order again at some stage.

A solid good bass at incredible value
Not only incredible value at only $249 but a damn good bass. Good looking, great sounding, well balanced and comfortable to play. Just love it already after only one day which I received in Vic country in just 3 working days. It safely arrived in pristine condition and is perfectly set up (thanks Hank in QC). This is my first P & or J style bass I’ve owned which will certainly more than compliment my better known brand and style basses. My good mate suggested trying an Artist after being extremely happy with his Artist Tele guitar so thought at $249 it was worth a punt. Just super impressed with whole transaction. Thanks so much Artist Guitars!

Fantastic
The bass and case came in 2 days. I’ve been inspired to start playing bass again after many years (I know). Picked up my old Squier which was lent to my son’s band’s bassist only to find the neck so warped, I couldn’t even play it. So I purchased this bass ( and a Fender Rumble 40 which is really good too) because of the price and great reviews. I’ve had a few basses new and second hand over the years and found this to be an excellent playing bass straight out of the box. And the finish and tone is really nice too. I’d rate it equal to other much more expensive Ibanez, Squier and Washburn that I’ve had brand new. The active feature brings the sound up front a bit more without sacrificing the tone. It literally sounds like it looks, Precision or Jazz. Warmth and growl. Action is sweet and the strings sound great. My bar was set pretty low because I’m not a great bassist and didn’t want to spend a ton. But overall I’m really impressed with this instrument and look forward to practicing and getting my chops up. Thanks Artist for a great product and service.
