BassAdder60 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 What’s the Vintera PBass like compared to say player series ? Any owners on here ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo85 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I am of very little help as I never tried a Vintera but I have a Pickup from a Fender Classic 50s, which is described as very similar or sometimes almost identical to the vintera. It has a lot of very "dirty" 50s' growl. Somewhat bright although it also has a punchy bottom end. Truth to be told, it's bit too much. Too much personality, if it makes sense. I love it in a way but prefer a more "neutral" precision sound in practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Yep, I had the predecessor, the Classic 50s, def a very forward in your face tone (with a pick), and a very wide (44mm) neck, albeit shallower. I’d think that playing one finger style would tone down the aggression but still leave it nice & punchy in the mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplumber Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Great guitars.Had both the Classic and Vintera. Very well made,sounded ace but that wide neck didn't work for me. Took me a while to find out.I was going between several guitars at the time and most had jazz width necks. Maybe if I had had stuck at it...Player series great but not as good as my Squier Classic vibe p bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asingardenof Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Not a P-bass but I did play a Vintera 70s Jazz, and while it was excellent I preferred my Squier VM 70s Jazz. Make of that what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd56hawk Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Best-looking bass it the store the day I tried it out. Played it for a good fifteen minutes. I have to say the tone was everything you'd want from a P bass..but it just didn't work for me. Wasn't actually a comfort issue, wasn't simply the neck...it was something I couldn't quite put my finger on. Funny thing is, I bought the Squier 40th-Anniversary Vintage P bass just last week...picked it up and knew without even plugging it in that I wasn't leaving the store without it. (Sorry, not a fan of the Player series basses...and I've tried quite a few.) Edited August 25, 2023 by jd56hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 I’ve read some good reviews on the current Vintera PBass Im aware access to truss rod is at the neck heel and the neck is wider Well I have one on the way ( in the sale £799 at GAK ) so Tuesday will be NBD !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Squier 40th Anniversary Precision sounds like a no brainer to me. Loving mine - just restrung with DRs and sounds awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
