AndyTravis Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Saw the Tele Basses today. Hot Dawg!!! couldn’t have a muck around as I was in getting some guitar strings for a recording thing. Properly lovely things though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Maybe I've purchased an original '70 competition Mustang bass... See how much the body contouring differs! Just received the '70 2 hours ago. Strung it with Labella's and did a set-up. They are very different basses imo in feel ('70 neck feels fuller with a rounder fretboard radius). Soundwise it's a bit harder to tell due to different strings. Though the vintera seems to be more aggressive while the oldie sounds more mellow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Ohhhh, is that the competition burgundy? They look lovely in pics I've seen online, but the name really confuses me! Gorgeous bass - enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty hard to make out what it looks like, is it a sort of iridescent burgundy burst around the edges? Either way, I like what I've seen from pics so far 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Indeed there is a burst going on. IIRC some of the original ones were done this way too, though I've never seen one in the flesh. Here some attempts to capture the finish. It really gives some "movement". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It's really stunning, probably the most easy on the eye of the new Vintera range imo. Thanks for the extra pics, I'm very jealous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
