Great Jazz Bass, Great Neck
I kind of drifted away from Jazz basses. Love the sound but didn't love the smaller and smaller necks. Once I heard about this series, and that it had a standard jazz nut but a slightly thicker shape front to back, I was intrigued. Ended up with this daphne blue model. I've had jazz basses of all sorts, very low to very high end. My favorite from Fender was a 62AVRI. I didn't love… read more that I constantly had to tweak the neck and I did go to a standard control setup. So how is this bass? It's not perfect but it really has it where it counts. The shade of blue is perfect and really nice in person. The neck is really my favorite part. Standard jazz nut, But meatier than modern jazz basses. It is a neck that truly disappears when playing. The hardware is standard but high quality. The stock pickups sound great but mine were super noisy and lacked any real shielding. So what did it need to be 5 star. Shielding. That's it. Many, many basses do. A few beers and a TV shows worth of time to do it right. Also keep in mind if you replace the tuners with Gotoh Res-O-Lites, you can knock 5 - 6 ounces off the headstock. My example of this bass has become my go to. and I've had it a few months. The Vintera is fitting replacement for the classic series which were great and clearly a step up from the Performer series. I like the pickups better than the performer and the Vmods on the Professional or whatever they are calling the standard USA basses. Fretwork is on par with the US made basses as well. I am very, very happy with mine. Now it sounds great, is very quiet, Balances perfectly on a strap, I rarely have to tune it and, don't have to fiddle with the neck. It's just a great jazz bass I really enjoy playing and hearing.
