NBD. Fender Vintera content

[artisan]

Well it was Tuesday actually.

I had been fancying a P bass for a while now so popped into Gear4music to check out a Player series P.

However they didn't have any on display so I checked on their fancy screen thingy & spotted the Vintera range,mmmm had to check it out.

To me it looks beautiful,seems to be very well made,plays & sounds excellent too.(it was also substantially cheaper than the classic 50's P bass they have in stock)

Over all I am very happy with it,although I've yet to play it with the band but I'm sure it will be mint 🤣🤣

Sounds very good at home but I won't get to hear it with the band until next Saturday

Best colour scheme Fender have done in ages! I've been looking at these but sadly funds won't permit (at the moment). I wondered who on here would be first to take the plunge!

I've got a rather nice PPI payout from my bank so just had to treat myself.

The problem I had was just bringing one bass home as I almost brought a Gibson Les Paul junior bass home too 😁

That’s a real head turner. One for the wish list 

[Savethedaves]

Gaaah, that's so nice! Was waiting for someone to put a 'real life' picture up. I'm just not sure if I'll get on with the 50's neck...hmmm.

I usually play a Jazz bass but find this very comfortable indeed.

I'm sure it's not as chuncky as the 50's classic I used to own

First gig done on Saturday night in Doncaster & after a slight bit of apprehension after playing Jazz basses for yonks it was fantastic.

So nice to play & the sound wow,it just really filled out the band's sound so much better,really meaty bass helped along my various overdrives,killer rock bass sound.

I may just convert to P basses & ditch the J's.

[nilebodgers]

That gets better every time I look at it...mmmmmmm

I really wanted one of these but the I saw the Squier walnut 70s p bass that has recently launched. Now I'm in a P bass pickle. 

[rubis]

That's a beauty

That's easy

Buy both 🤣🤣

[RossHetherington]

How's the weight? My current P bass (admittedly a 15 year old Vintage V4) is doing my shoulder in. 

[artisan]

It's pretty light,lighter than my jazzes anyway.

I'll weigh it when i get chance
