Brother can u do vintera ii 50s bass
Thank you for calling it a Precision Bass and not the TikTok-inspired P Bass nonsense.
I have that exact bass. Same color and anodized guard. It def has the 50s vibe. It was worth every penny. It sounds like a P bass should sound. I can get any sound out of it. If you dig a 50s P style, build and sound without spending $15k this is it. You can really appreciate Leos vision.
My favorite setting is all 3 plus at 80 percent.
Love it. Mines the dakota red. Sportin' labella flats, I call it my doug dunn bass.
Man, that PBass is really trebly with the tone at ????. It seems to get better the more you roll off.
Thank you very much for your help. One of these came on the market, so I went on a search for anyone reviewing it. I'd seen your videos before, so as soon as I saw you'd done one, I didn't bother going to any other video. You really do a great job in trying to describe as much as you possibly can, to experienced, and beginner players. I appreciate everything you're doing.
Great review
I just purchased the Seafoam Green version. It was meant to back-up/accompany my 2005 American Vintage '62 P-Bass. It is shocking how well it holds up to my A.V. Instrument. I absolutely love this thing. It is getting a ton of playing time. Great review, sir.
Yes!
How heavy is it ?
A 1.75 nut is too wide for me. I like my 1.53 Fodera most and recently got a Gibson with a 1.625 and it works for me nicely.
Tone at 0 … that’s a P bass
Wish they still produce that Vintage Blonde Color. Really love that!
Tone 100% is my favorite.
Lovely Tones ????????
Good review! One thing i dont like that bass is that the Nut width is 44,5mm. Thats rather wide.. I have small hands. Otherwise i should buy this bass.
whats d difference with 50s & 60s precision neck?
Does it really use a 50’s fender pickup?
For slap, 100% tone is great for P-basses 🙂
Hello there mate, watching your video I went and bought one myself. Thanks for suggesting!
A question: is the bass in your video directly connected to the DAI or do you have any preamp or DI?
P. S: I also have watched your BB735 video but couldn't get my hands on that one… (vintera got me first)
Nice, thanks for posting. For this bass I prefer the tone off. Smooth.
Really nice bass, I would say I prefer more of a sixties sound, shame they don't do a 60s Vintera P. There's a big gap in the range between cv60 and AO 60s.
Have you tried any of the American originals?
Good job this was thorough and quite helpful.
I've got the fender 50s reissue p bass mim. Same colour and all. As far as I can tell it's like the same bass but they took out the holes in the pickguard to drill and put ur chrome pickup cover? Maybe the neck is slightly different. Mine is quite fat but when u get used to it its lovely. Fucking amazing bass man. I love it so much. Got some great flatwounds on it and feels like butter. Sounds like butter but has alot of tone if u want a bit of bite just turn the tone knob more full. I usually dont have it up full.
My favorite bassists are Geddy Lee, Steve Harris, John Paul Jones, Flea and John Entwhistle. Should I go with the player's or the vintera? Will the vintera's tone be too old school for me?
Really nice bass, thanks for the review!
you're my favorite reviewer, I don't have more to add to that. I just really love your reviews.
Nice review. You have a really nice touch with your plucking-hand!
Hello that is a nice bass
Got this bass a few months ago and I love it! I love the wide nek, really suits my style of playing. Before this a played a Yamaha BB bass with PJ configuration and a satin neck, so I had to get used to the sound and the feel of the neck. But now I feel right at home. And it sure is a looker!
Hi Tyler, please tell me it is hard to play because of the strings spacing comparing to player series?
My bass !! haha, I'm really delighted with it, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a mythical precision tone ????????.
VintEra : Vintage Era.
I was going for one of these in dakota red but had a better idea. I plan to use a blonde vintera body and throw on a black dimarzio no solder loaded pickguard and a mim standard fender neck with maple fingerboard. My candy apple red vintage modified PJ with dimarzio model P's will then inherit the gold anodized pickguard.
Too bad they don't make a left-handed version of this model. I started playing bass 4 months ago and i could never of imagined how little choice i have.
thank you for doing a great job showing the neck width and profile!
Good for begginers
Cheers Tyler, been looking at that exact bass and having compared neks and fret sizes i much preferred this bass to the other Fender range of P's. Another great review. Would have been nice to hear it compared against your CS one.
Man, I hate cutting up instruments but if you put a jazz pickup in there (in addition to the stock pickups) I feel that it would make some funky bass lines.
????️ass
I got the Squier Matt Freeman. I think it's all the bass im ever going to need in my life.
I would be happy if you reviewed the Schecter Banshee Bass… (It's basically a short scale P-bass)
I would never buy another Fender painted guitar. I have a 10 year old strat I was refinishing. After removing all the blue finish underneath I found 9 different pieces of scrap wood glued together. It was a job well done but not what I thought I was buying at the time. I bought it new still have the receipt. I feel like I’ve been had buying a counterfeit guitar. Now I’m left with a nice maple neck and the rest of the hardware. Be careful Fender are not what Leo I’m sure intended for them to be.
Just a personal opinion..I think Fender should get rid of their current string tree and change them for a 'Three-string' string tree (try saying that fast a couple of times), like the ones on Sandberg. 'Three-string' string retainers/tree, gives the A,D,G strings a uniform angle break over the nut and an overall pleasing aesthetic (for the OCD players)….and most importantly, a better string tension for the A string… thus creating better sustain. I can attest that no matter how many rounds you'd wrap the A string around the post, you will never get the same angle break as the D and G string -Try it the next time you change your strings. Do not snip off the tip end of the A string and get it to wrap all the way around to the bottom of the tuning post. And… Fender knew about this. That is why their American Elite basses have the 'Stealth string retainers' installed on the A string post, which, unfortunately, for the majority of the non-American Elite bass owners, that little contraption can only be use with the American Elite Bass Tuners that have a nut type ferrules.
Hey guy, very good video !! This Is really a good precision bass ! I have the same bass, you can see some exemples on my channel.
I look for the same bass in jazz bass version, a Vintera '50s Jazz Bass, soon maybe… !
