I ordered The P bass Looks like October for incoming. Gives me a chance to get rid of a couple I'm not using in the meantime. Will report back.

How do you think these newer CV'S will be for quality, any thoughts? I'm almost sure I want the pub stained toilet P-bass Read mixed reviews online for the 70's CV's. Anyone got one? I do own a CV 50's P which is ok and stable, but I did pick that up for under €300 new.

I'm going to find it hard to resist one of these

Reading this I went and double checked my Vintera 70's tele bass. I never noticed any issues with the tone or volume pots on mine. Not as responsive as a split - P for sure, but I get what I would expect in variations in volume/tone using the knobs. It's a fairly dark pickup for sure, but has a mellow bite when fully open. Hope you get yours sorted. I'm a big fan of these Mexican basses. I have four now A flea, Player plus, the 70's Tele and just picked up the Vintera ii 60's P. I can't knock any of them for craftsmanship, fit and finish. In some cases better than some American versions. I have had to do my own tweaks to get them how I like them, basic stuff, truss rod, string height and intonation, but after that I have been happy with them. People complain about the high prices on these and I agree somewhat, but hasn't everything sky-rocketed in price lately? I still think you get a good bass for your money in these middle tier Mexican range.

So many, but that Bow Wow Wow stuff still does me. Got me wanting that Wal - ting.

Same here, it's all I'm using.

Thanks. Someone gave me a tip on trying some clear nail varnish. I put on a thin layer now and will see how it goes.

Update to this. They offered me a 15% discount, which I'm happy to take. I have bought new roadworn basses before so no real stress for me having a ding where it is. I guess I might lose some resale value because of it, but hopefully it's a keeper anyway.

Thanks for all of your input. Been playing the bass most of the weekend and really falling for it I sent an email with photos of the damage to the place I bought it from and will update with their reply/suggestion. If they knock something off the price or give me some in store credit, I think I'll hang onto the one I have now. This one was the only one they had in stock the time I ordered.

Arrived in the post yesterday Upon closer inspection this morning I noticed a ding near the input jack. The package on the outside was seemingly undamaged, so not sure where the damage has occured! The bass plays really nice is a great weight and has the best sounding open A string I have had on any bass I'd really like to keep this one. I sent the retailer a photo of said damage, lets see what they propose. I remember sending a slightly damaged acoustic guitar back once and the replacement they sent out never sounded anywhere near as good Thought I'd share.

He's a good salesman I'm still on the fence.

Probably posted before. Not a totally shi### song Used to love this Maybe why I still can't stop slapping on some tunes today lol. The good old days .

Awesome, that didn't take long ..
