About This Product
    Product Name: Fender Vintera '60s Jazz Electric Bass Guitar, Firemist Gold
    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.

    Having seen the Vintera, I would only choose it if you'd like the chunkier neck or the switching options. The Player series has the Fender modern C neck and very accessible truss rod and neck pickup height adjustments. The Player series pick up sound quite good to my ears. I prefer dark fretboards, but the pau ferro on the Vintera Tele I received was really pale, about the color of a cappuccino rather than the dark brown or even black that the photo shows. The Vintera comes with a bigger discount off MSRP, and that is tempting (who doesn't love a better deal?), but I think I rather prefer the Player series if my Strat is any indication.

    If keeping stock, probably this one as it has more switching options, unless you really hate the pickups or the color.

    Excellent point on the neck. I need all the excuses to prevent me trying. Having evil thoughts of a test drive til Jan 25th.

    If it helps, Adorama requires the buyer to pay return shipping on non-defective returns. I have a discount that makes that tolerable, but most will find a trial period to cost $22-25 if they decide not to keep a guitar.

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

    Well it was a good point until I read the neck was a modern c as part of the modified enhancement. Furthermore I found the blue available from Amazon $587.99. With their ease of returns I couldn't resist testing it out.

    Not to mention the low end of the resale value is what I am paying. Merry Christmas to all.

    It's the first line of Vintera models, pre-2023.

    This is the Modified Vintera, which updates the neck and pickups to more modern specs (defeating the purpose of Vintera IMO), so certainly don't decide based on that.
