General

Fender's Mustang bass is back! This '60s Mustang bass from Fender's Mexican-made Vintera series is a short-scale model that offers a genuine '60s sound, look and feel for an attractive price. It has a scale length of 30 inches and the bolt-on maple neck has a thin C profile and a 7.25-inch fretboard radius. The vintage-style '60s split single-coil Mustang bass pickup ensures an authentic sound comes out of your amplifier. With its shorter scale length, this bass guitar is also perfect for musicians who are more used to playing a guitar than a bass.

Fender Vintera 60s Mustang Bass 3-Tone Sunburst PF with gig bag
Wrote the following about Fender Vintera 60s Mustang Bass 3-Tone Sunburst PF with gig bag
Commandée le dimanche soir, reçue le vendredi en standard, emballage en bon état. Réactivité de Bax-shop suite à une question en ligne sur la livraison.

Niveau cosmétique, la basse est très belle, très bonne finition, aucun défaut, rien à redire et je précise que j'ai une (très belle) Precision US ; elle tiens la comparaison sans rougir.

Réglages corrects, prête à jouer.

Niveau son, très bien, tout à fait dans l'esprit 60's que je recherchais, surtout après avoir installé des cordes à filets plats que j'avais sous le coude. A ce propos, les cordes long scale passent sans problème (c'est même ce qu'il y avait d'origine !). La tonalité joue très bien son rôle. Et même si elle est petite, elle peut donner de la voix.

Le seul petit défaut, c'est un léger buzz quand on ouvre la tonalité à fond, problème de masse sans doute que je résoudrai (et je changerai les potentiomètres coréens ... par des CTS)

Au niveau du jeu, un vrai bonheur, facile, rapide, agréable, manche parfait ... je ne touche plus la PB depuis une semaine.

La housse est bien une short scale et de qualité tout à fait correct pour un usage normal.

Bref, n'hésitez pas, c'est un très beau jouet. Fender forever

Wrote the following about Fender Vintera 60s Mustang Bass 3-Tone Sunburst PF with gig bag
De Fender Vintera 60's Mustang basgitaar heeft me positief verrast. Ik vind het een fantastische gitaar om te zien, maar omdat deze lijn gitaren wordt gemaakt in Mexico, was ik onzeker over de kwaliteit van het instrument. Er wordt door Fender 'kenners' vaak wat neerbuigend gedaan over deze Guitarras. Het bezoeken van allerlei fora met daarop ontelbare en sterk uiteenlopende meningen van allerlei mensen, bleek de keuze voor een bepaald model niet eenvoudiger te maken.

Het volgende was voor mij bij de keuze belangrijk:

- Nieuw
- Prijs tot ongeveer 1000,00 euro
- Fender
- Short scale
- Warm, diep en rond geluid
- Passief
- Tone en volume regeling, meer niet
- Nice vintage looks

Dat maakte de keuze al een stuk eenvoudiger. Vanzelfsprekend kwam ik bij de Fender Mustang series uit. Deze Vintera 60's Mustang in de fraaie 3-tone sunburst uitvoering trok meteen mijn aandacht. En wat is het een mooie short scale gitaar met een geweldige sound! De meegeleverde snaren zijn Fender round wounds (Fender® USA 7250M Nickel Plated Steel. Gauges .045 - .105). Klinkt goed, maar ik denk er wel over om ze binnenkort te vervangen door Thomastik JF324 flat wound snaren voor een donkerder, vlakker geluid. Kwestie van smaak en mijn voorkeur voor bepaalde muziekstijlen.

Wat betreft de kwaliteit van deze Mexicaanse Fender ben ik volledig gerustgesteld; de afwerking is netjes, van body tot fretjes. Geen scherpe randen of andere defecten. Gewoon een mooie gitaar. En ik ben blij dat dit model niet de nitrocellulose lak heeft zoals die vaak bij de duurdere modellen is toegepast. De nek vind ik prettig slank. Grote lollipop tuners, klassieke brug, vintage slagplaat en verchroomde hardware; het ademt allemaal de sfeer van weleer. Het voor de toets gebruikte Pao ferro hout vind ik mooi van kleur en nerf. Ik ben benieuwd of het hout nog wat donkerder kleurt, nadat het een keer behandeld is met olie.

Naar mijn mening is deze Fender Vintera 60's Mustang echt een aanrader als je opzoek bent naar een nieuwe, enigszins betaalbare passieve Fender shortscale van goede kwaliteit. Mocht je het instrument willen complementeren met een mooie bijpassende gitaarband, dan wil ik je uitnodigen om de gitaarbanden van Holy Cow eens te bekijken. Prachtige kwaliteit gitaarbanden met een retro uitstraling en vaak gemaakt van echte vintage stoffen.
