Rogue VB100 Series II Violin Bass Review
A classic design with updated appointments to make it even sweeter than the original! The Rogue VB-100 Violin Bass features a flamed maple arched top and back with the European-style hollowbody that makes it lightweight and capable of deep, resonant bass tones. The traditional 31″ scale offers immediate familiarity in your hands. A custom trapeze tailpiece, pearloid pickguard, and body binding on front and back are added touches. Don’t be fooled by the tiny price; this is a serious instrument nicely made with all the playability and tone of the original at a fraction of the cost.

Bottom Line
The Rogue VB100 violin bass is a sweet bass for the price. If you want a high quality bass that can match Paul McCartney, then you might want to look into Hofner. But if you are on a budget and want a nice looking violin bass that plays and sounds pretty good, this is the deal for you. Some people say the action needs adjusted, but you can do that for any bass. Set it up properly and it will play well and get a good tone, although still not quite up to snuff with a higher end Hofner. But the finish is pretty good, and the quality is very nice for a bass that only costs about $180. A very impressive bass considering the price!
