Description

For players who want the style and sound of Fender’s Golden era, we created the Vinterra ‘50S precision bass. Equipped with the coveted features that defined the decade—including period-accurate neck profile and playing feel, along with a re-voiced pickup—this bass has all of the punchy tone that made the P bass famous. For authentic, original-era tone we re-voiced the single split-coil P bass pickup to sound more like the original. Seismic and punchy, it has the tone that made the P bass one of the most popular electric basses. The “’50S P bass C-shaped neck has a 7. 25”-Radius fingerboard with 20 vintage-style Frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style, 4-saddle bridge with threaded saddles and vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include an anodized aluminum pickguard, chrome hardware and 4-bolt neck plate. Includes a deluxe gig bag.

  • Good bass
Color: Sea Foam Green Size: Full
The bass is a head turner. No denying that. I would have given the bass 5 out of 5 had it not been for the strap button on the bottom being dented into the bass. It did not matter to me that much since I would be replacing the button with strap locks anyway. Overall though a killer bass if you don's want to migrate into American P bass territory. ... show more

  • Overhyped
Color: Sea Foam Green Size: Full
I read a lot of reviews on these and they were all raving about how made in Mexico Fenders are “just as good and even sometimes better than American made Fenders”. I decided to give it a shot because the color is really nice. Upon arrival the first red flag was the string spacing which is clearly uneven with the first string too close to the edge vs the fourth string which is too far in. I thought, maybe a setup could fix this. Well, the nut is cut this way and it wasn’t even glued flush which is pictured and it overhangs on the first string side. Next is the fret work. Some fret notches are cut too deep, and they didn’t take the time to fill them in. The edges of the fret board are sharp, something I never noticed about instruments until this one came into my hands. The neck also leave the body at a slight downward angle. It’s strange because I tried a made in Mexico special edition ebony P bass at a local store and it had all of these same issues. Maybe the jig is set wrong at the factory on purpose who knows. The hardware isn’t great and there was oil all over the tuners. This is not a big deal, but it shows that little care, time, and effort is put into these guitars. It’s too bad because body was perfect, and the finish was nice too. All they need to do is put in just a little more care and these instruments could be great. I have a made in China Ibanez 7 string guitar and a 5 string bass and they were surprisingly perfect with zero issues and only cost $200 each. I have also had luck with a perfect Squire 70’s Classic Vibe P bass as well which cost less than half of this bass. Luckily, Amazon returns are easy. Be prepared to try multiple times or find one in store somewhere cause otherwise you probably have to get lucky to find a good one of these basses if buying online sight unseen. ... show more

  • Do it.
Color: Sea Foam Green Size: Full
I'm going to start by saying that this a great bass but price is the only reason it's getting 4 stars. Its a p bass. MIM. Don't quite understand the price point. I ONLY BOUGHT THIS BASS BECAUSE ITS MY FAVORITE COLOR. lol. Anyway. I needed a true passive p again. The Fender Vintera 50's p just so happened to be offered in seafoam green and vintage tint neck... Impulse... clearly. Went to the local GC to play one and immediately had buyers remorse. Lol but I told myself that the bass had not properly been set up. Recieved the bass safely. After the set up and a set of flatwounds this bass just instantly became a bit of a romance. Its long winded but its my review 😘 Feel was pretty good. Neck was very comfortable and "friendly" Finish, other than a few minor blemishes and questionable hardware design, is great. Even though i kinda want to drag it behind a truck on a dirt road... Fit.... this is my biggest issue with this bass. First off the pickguard was extremely snug in the neck pocket. I thought I was going to damaged it when I attempted to remove it. The neck was extremely tight on the body... so much so that I found it concerning. Sound. This p bass nails p bass. Stock pickups are a little weak for band settings is my only issue with the pickups. Other than that they sound really good. Overall. A little overpriced. Some minor issues ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... show more

  • Plays Like a Dream
Color: Sea Foam Green Size: Full
I've had many P-basses, including the American Standard, and this is my fave. I had a different Vintera-style P some time ago in a different color and I deeply regret selling it though it really doesn't matter now. Anyway... I think this is the perfect P-bass. It has all the high-end craftsmanship but none of the extraneous features that push up the price of the Ultra, like the hardshell case and electronics package. Even the factory strings on this are rad. Normally I just cut them off and restring with DR Blues but these are fat, warm, smooth and super-playable. I do have to admit it was improperly strung and the bridge was incorrectly installed but I don't care at all. It's ten minutes to do the setup maintenance you have to do with a new bass anyway. If I ever buy someone a bass as a gift it'll be this one, no question, and when I have money to burn I'm gonna just collect these in different colors. ... show more

  • A very nice Precision
Color: Sea Foam Green Size: Full
I have owned a lot of Precision basses and this one plays and sounds as good or better than any of them. It's a great value and looks cool too!

  • Was shipped a defective bass
Was shipped a defective bass. I contacted Fender in March of 2022. They wanted to replace the body instead of refunding me. They have had my bass since then. It is now mid August. The service center and I have been trying to contact customer service and Fender will not respond. I have no date for when I will receive my bass. Very disappointing. ... show more
