    I’ve owned one of these. It’s a very well made Mexican Precision. Lovely to play and sounds just like a 50’s P should. If you don’t have the cash for a Fender custom shop bass IMO this is as close as you will get. Alternatively the 50’s roadworn is the other option if you prefer a less perfect look. The Vintera Ps retail at over £1000 and the average selling price on eBay and Reverb is around the £750 to £800 mark. This is really well priced and a bit of a bargain IMO.

    Not seen one of those. Shame they didn’t keep it as an option. Much classier than the Dakota Red IMO

    Remember your working on wood. Holes can be plugged, cracks can be glued, mistakes can be patched, filled, sanded and repainted. It’s pretty hard to destroy.

    As far as I know the 50’s Vintera P is only available in Dakota Red and Seafoam Green.

    Your confusing marketing with common sense. Do I I purchase a bass because MrX uses it no. Do I buy a can of coke over Brand X because Michael Jackson dances around with it no. But those brands are seared into my subconscious by decades of association and subliminal messages from every form of media. It works. Every endorser keeps that brand at the forefront of each generations association with what rock or pop stars play. Every concert footage, photo op, tv appearance they are waving the brand about to millions of viewers. So yes Flea and Adam Clayton and Nate Mendel help shift Fenders. They play to huge audiences and get the Fender name on every form of media channel out there from the David Letterman show to YouTube to the BBC to Rolling Stone magazine etc etc Edit: I doubt if Fender even particularly care how many Flea basses they sell. As long as Flea is holding a bass that has Fender written on it on David Letterman or glossy mag photo shoot or the BBC during Coachella or whatever that is advertising worth a huge amount of money. More than the sale of a specific run of basses. They will already be working on the contract for the next Flea (whoever that may be) endorsement deal as I type to continue the market saturation.

    If endorsement didn’t shift basses manufacturer’s wouldn’t bother with it. They are not going to invest money in marketing, manufacturing etc etc for no reason. There is a reason everyone has heard of Fender or coca-cola etc and it’s not just down to the product.

    I would think Flea has shifted a fair few basses.
