Victor Bailey—first-call session guy, solo artist, consummate sideman, acoustic bassist extraordinaire, and veteran of more than 1,000 recordings by artists including Weather Report, Michael Brecker, LL Cool J, and Mary J. Blige.

When Fender and Victor paired up to create his signature 5-string bass, the man himself graciously spent a great deal of time and effort on the collaboration. The result is a unique instrument: The Victor Bailey signature 5-string acoustic/electric bass features a beautifully arched back, figured dao back and sides, a laminated spruce top with a gorgeous dao veneer, an abalone rosette, tortoise-shell binding, a 34"-scale neck modeled on Bailey's signature Fender Jazz Bass® guitar, satin gold Hipshot® licensed lightweight tuners, Fishman® electronics, and a deluxe gig bag. The Victor Bailey Signature 5-String is a truly stunning instrument.
