  1. I had a 70’s Columbus Jazz Bass in my younger years - my uncle picked it up for next to nothing, needed all new electronics but it turned into a bit of a machine! Coincidentally my cousin recently bought one and fixed it up - he cleaned it up nicely

    Is this them trying to put a bigger price step between the Mexican ranges (player to vintera, positioning the vintera as more premium rather than just more vintage specced) or are the prices just being pushed up across the board some more do we think? 


    A bit of both I’d say. Inflation being passed through into the price because a “new” range can bear an increase more readily than an existing product already on the shelf.
     

    That aside, there is a genuine step in quality between the Player series and the ranges above (Player Plus/Vintera/Mexican Signature models) whether it’s worth the price is personal, but they are definitely more premium instruments.

    E.g. - why aren't all the colour options available? Matching headstocks, switch of J vs P neck, reverse or lollipop tuners etc... 

     

    Maybe it'll come in time, in the mean time I think/know I'll be spending my money elsewhere (on a Fender style bass too).


    The options are the same as the US site which has had the Mod Shop for years - it’s super basic when it comes to basses. Shame really as the concept of making customisation accessible without paying Custom Shop £ is genius.
