YuryReon Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hi guys! Which bass would you choose, Vintera 50's p bass or Squire 40th anniversary p bass? 900 EUR vs 500 EUR. I would like to add a bass to my collection. Both basses are nice but completely different. I have never had any experience with Squire basses. The best price for Vintera was offered 900 EUR + a new set of strings (the original ones are dead). The bass has been on sale in the store for about two years. They don't want to decrease the price because the regular price for these basses is 1100-1200 EUR in the EU. The manager also told me that they often have quality issues on Squier basses, and they send them back. This also applies to the 40th-anniversary series.

Nebadon2000 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Vintera; If it doesn't hurt get a new in the box [or more recent] from another store if he won't come down; that bass was 900 new 2 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on my experience with Squier quality control (or lack of) I would go with Vintera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Vintera … but he can come down id rather take a haircut on the sale price than have it using wall space for two more years is it an unpopular colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegs07 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Vintera any day. Pretty sure there is still one for sale on here for under £500. Silly money for a decent bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I would say basses that cost more than 400 EUR are not popular in our poor country. The bass itself is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time my daughter was tiny and not sleeping. I was a walking zombie. Partner suffering with CFS. I didn’t have mental capacity for bass; though probably sufficient for guitar 😈 Edited July 18, 2022 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
