You wonder where its going to end, the snobbery around MIM instruments is fading especially considering how good the the Vintera instruments are, I've had a few MIA jazz bases in the past and I can honestly say my player P bass was as well put together, hard to see where the extra money is going for the USA entry level basses.

Looking at the photographs of these basses , they look awfully like the player series basses . The bridge looks the same and the neck is the modern c shape , I know the tuners are the lollipops ones , but so what ? . Ok there’s a grease bucket tone circuit , not sure if that’s a good or bad thing . I know you can’t tell how a bass is going to play and sound from photos but they seem like really expensive player fenders. I have a 2020 player bass and it’s an excellent bass for the money. I think I’d put my money into a player 2 before one of these , and have change for an amp .

New money for old rope.

My old bass tutor has a DB , maybe I should call over to him and see will he give me a run on his DB?

Electric bass guitarist here wanting to stick my toe in the water of upright bass playing . In your opinion should I get an electric EUB or an acoustic. , what are your opinions on the entry level ones on Thomann ? Are they thrash ? I don’t want to spend too much money considering I’ll be primarily playing a bass guitar.

How much are these ?

I'm really interested in the 50s Vintera p bass, looks really cool and in general I like a chunky neck. I currently have the player P bass and that neck feels great, I think I can handle a chunkier neck but your post makes me nervous....is it really unwieldy ?

I reckon its poly, its a recent enough budget bass, an LTD PJ type bass.

Hi there , can someone offer advice on stripping a sunburnt finish off an alder body . Could I just sand off the finish or should I use a solvent ?

Anyone out there own an Electra jazz bass ? I’ve already got a Cal VS (p) and a basic (mm) was considering the electra to finish the trio, not really a jazz bass guy but like the tone occasionally. Seems like a great instrument

Did you change the valve’s recently? If you’re maxing out the gain stage maybe there’s a preamp tube issue ?
