A photo from rehearsal this evening consisting of my Fender American Vintage 2 precision bass and 2008 Squier Classic Vibe Precision. Both fantastic basses and to be honest are closer to each other in feel, vibe and sound. The Av 2 has more bottom end whereas the classic vibe has a lovely vintage mid range to it but with a blindfold I’d be hard pushed to figure out which I was playing.

So, I am a sucker for Oly white Precisions and certainly for ones with dark rosewood necks. 
Big thanks to @Willfunk at BassBros for sorting me out with this Pro ii.

Perfect weight, extremely resonant and has some serious grind!!

And as per usual the service was nothing short of exceptional 😊

Looking to get a beater Pbass and torn between these three. Anyone owned both the player and classic vibe, what are your experiences? 1 and 2 are almost the same price and have no mods, and because it's second hand, I like that it has more mileage and most prolly been setup. Or get the latest player II coz I'm a sucker for maple and blue combination.

1. Squier Precision Fiesta Red Classic Vibe 60s - 2nd hand

2. Fender Player in Tidepool - 2nd hand

3. Fender Player II in Aquatone - bnew

I’ve nearly had all three except I had the Squier Classic Vibe 70’s model 

The Squier needed better pickups as a mod apart from that it was good.

Player series was a step up in feel and quality and sound. The Player II is one stage further in improvement and has a better neck, pickup and feel. 
I’ve just added a new Standard and it is as good as my old mim Player but not quite up to Player II series in build quality and tone but pretty close

Thanks for this! Seems like the new player II are good then. Been reading in talkbass and reddit too. 
 

thanks for your input!

Yeah I`ve had the Classic Vibe and the original Player, the Player a better bass imo, though much of that could be my preference for a maple fret-board as do prefer it to rosewood.

 

But the CV as a base for modifications such as pickups etc def worth considering especially if rosewood fret-board is a preference - edit, and there`s currently one of the original CVs up for grabs on here at present.
