| Product Description: | Vintage Style for the Modern Era
For players who want the style and sound of Fender's golden era, we created the Vintera '60s Jazz Bass. Equipped with the coveted features that defined the decade-including period-accurate neck profile and playing feel, along with recreated '60s pickups-this bass has all of the growl that made the J Bass famous.
For authentic, original-era tone we re-voiced the pair of single-coil Jazz Bass pickups to sound more like the originals. Gritty and growling, they have the tone that made the J Bass popular. The "Thin 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 reverse, open-gear tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include 34" scale length, chrome hardware and 4-bolt neck plate. Includes a deluxe gig bag.
Alder Body
A classic Fender tone wood, alder's sound is balanced with equal doses of lows, mids and highs.
"Thin C" Neck Profile
Remarkably comfortable, the "Thin C"-shaped neck profile is sculpted for a vintage-style playing feel-thinner at the first fret, thicker at the twelfth.
Revoiced 60S P Bass Pickup
We revoiced the pickups to be more '60s-accurate. They're full of the growling, punchy tone that made Fender famous.
Period-Accurate Fingerboard
Hosting 20 vintage-style frets, the 7.25"-radius fingerboard provides the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument.
Vintage-Style 4-Saddle Bridge
Hosting 4 threaded saddles for period-correct aesthetics, this bridge offers solid intonation and action adjustment.
Vintage-Style Tuning Machines
A way cool touch from the '60s, the reverse open-gear tuning machines offer a dash of style from the Flower Power decade. |

I think that's reasonable, but prevents frivolous orders.

Not to mention the low end of the resale value is what I am paying. Merry Christmas to all.
Considering the Vintera retains only the cosmetic and inconvenient features like difficult truss rod adjustment, I just didn't care for it versus the Player. If the neck really is identical, save money and get a Player.

I have several Fenders with vintage style truss rods and I dont find it to be a terrible inconvenience. Just loosen the strings, put a capo on the first fret and pop the neck off. You should only have to give it a quarter turn once a year or so if your storing your instruments properly. I would also recommend grabbing a cheap relief gauge off ebay if your making truss rod adjustments yourself.
