bassmansky Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I bought a vintage p-bass off eubassix,(cheers dave)and gigged it for the first time last night and the quality of sound i got from this bass was amazing.nice and punchy with a lovely growl as well.this has got to be the best money ive ever spent!in the past i have tried fender highway one p-bass and mim p-basses and my vintage is certainly as good if not better than the fenders.so why pay out hundreds of pounds just for a "name" on the headstock when these cheapies are just as good!

EdwardMarlowe Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Those Vintages are really good for the money - alas, no maple boards, so no dice with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Fender's are likely to appreciate in value eventually. Also, a lot of people can't see past the name on the headstock, even if you can, they will still judge you as a player by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fender73 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I have one of bass like things, except it's smaller, has 6 thin strings and rhymes with blatoblaster made by Vintage - best £150 i ever spent! More power to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmachine2112 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 hiho,I ,ve got one as well and put a wizard thumper in it ,a set of schaller tuners and a copy badass bridge and it the mutts nuts.All done second hand on fleabag for the grand outlay of under a hundred quid.Quality . The only gripe I have is I would prefer a maple neck,can,t say fairer than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
