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 🤣🤣 It sure looks nice! I had a 50's Classic many years ago, and found that bas really stiff and "unfriendly". It had very "stifling and sluggish" tuning machines. How does this one work? I believe they are sold without chrome covers; if so: good! Playing with the covers on is like driving a car in the garage... Nice bass!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build quality is excellent,all the hardware seems to be of good quality ,ncluding the tuners,it plays beautifully (I love gloss lacquered necks) & sounds absolutely fantastic. I too had a MIM classic 50's P bass a few years ago which was a nice bass but the Vintera seems to be a better made instrument,I highly recommend it. I couldn't be happier.

Lozz196 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 The MIM Classic 50s is a very good instrument so if these Vinteras top them then they must be incredibly good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Just fitted a Kiogon loom to this bass & wow it really sounds awesome now. The stock pickup is excellent & combined with the new loom makes for a really warm punchy tone. Love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
