Can’t go wrong with a P bass
Claudio Alcala

Decided to spoil myself, and I didn't go wrong. For bassists who want that classic tone heard in Rock n Roll, Blues, Indie rock, etc. this is the way to go. The instrument feels, plays, and sounds like butter on toast.

What can I say? I'm not a bassist by history. I'm a guitarist, but I was looking for a bass to round out my home studio. I struggled with this purchase. I looked at used basses. I thought of building one. But when I saw the Mexican Vintena series from Fender, I kept coming back to this P-Bass. I knew a P-Bass was what I wanted based on the other bass players I have played with in… read more the past. This Dakota Red color is awesome. It has the warm tone associated with a P-Bass. I love it more each time I play it. Yes, I'm a novice, so your mileage may vary, but it gets better each time I play it. I purchased the Fender Rumble Studio 40 modeling amp at the same time. Absolutely no regrets. It was set up well, and the intonation was spot on. Get one.

Where to begin? Amazing tone and feel, killer looks, excellent build quality. I have been a Jazz guy all my life (1979, 2009 fretless American, 2019 Aerodyne) but this one makes me think about what I was missing in the Precision world. Simplicity and great versatility. I put some D'Addario XL flat wounds on it and love the chumminess. I highly recommend this bass and Sweetwater's… read more setup, next day delivery and amazing customer sevice!

Being a full grown adult and having spent some time starting out on a Gretsch short scale , I decided to up grade. I love the rugged simplicity of this instrument. It's vintage style neck shape and 7.25 radius fretboard are fast and very forgiving so the short scale is stored away now and my future is P bass. The only change I have made is addition of a Hipshot chrome thumb rest… read more ( was lost without a nice big humbucker thumb rest). Did not have to feel bad about drilling 1 hole in a MIM instrument using excellent instructions on the Fender web site. This is the only bass I found with these specifications and this great early P bass sound. Freddy Fender arrived very securely packaged and beautifully set up with La Bella 760FL ,was in tune (almost)and more attractive in person. Worth twice the price at least:) thank you Bryan Leo!

This is my first bass after being an avid guitarist for over 10 years, I've owned it for about 4 months now. If you're looking for that fat, I don't care if the windows in my house break, unapologetic sound... get it. It feels great, sounds great and the retro color (I have the red one) is fabulous - it's a work of art. Cannot speak highly enough about this instrument.
