I have one of the older Mexican Classic Series 50's Basses - big fat neck and a glorious tone. I've had flats on it for the last few years - an amazing bass for recording.
Hey Anthony, I have watched all of your videos...I ended up buying a 1958 Custom Shop 2018 ltd edition because of you. You mention your 58 Pbass in every video hehe... I suppose that you play a lot of good stuff and because you picked that bass I could not go wrong with that. Mine is in Faded Aged Firemist Gold. Thanks for all the reviews 🙏🙏🙏
I played this bass against all the others that were available in the store. American Professionals, Vintage, Performers, Players, and the new outdated Vintera line. I found that the vintera II had a low end that the others simply did not posses. Close second was the now outdated version of this bass, a vintera in dakota red. Unfortunately the neck was too large for my hands, even though I had no problem at all with the dakota red vintera. They are supposed to be the same on paper.
Signal chain question. Thanks for the great demo, as always, just wondering if you could tell us what we're actually hearing? Looks like a Rumble 500, are we hearing just the mic, or is it blended with a DI?
Man I finally got man hands on one of these....I loved the look and tone even the feel of the fretboard and action...but the back of the neck is just a tad chunky for my taste....is the Vintera 60s P any thinner.....if not I will have to go for the Jazz....any input appreciated.
If the amp settings and strings are the same, this bass with the maple neck does sound nrighter than the 60s with rosewood, lending credence to the usual rosewood > dark and maple > bright.
Just bought the Desert Sand one... I'm pretty curious, since I'm a Jazz Bass player... Actually I wanted the 60s version with the rosewood fretboard but in Italy it's still hardly available. It's in the list 😉By the way, you're the best bass tester/channel bass reviewer on YT, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos... And "Pecora" has a little bit of italian taste! 😁😁😁❤❤❤❤
I think starting with a bass that you pretty much like already (neck,color,feel,sound) is important...play it for a while as is, then maybe make 1 or 2 mods.. better that than buy a new bass that you already know you wanna change everything on right away...
@@pattonPwrI have a Vintera 1 50s and it is an incredible bass. So naturally I want the Vintera ii 60s p bass which wasn’t available in the Vintera 1 series. It depends what you prefer, maple or rosewood. Both are a great option.
The 60s neck is going to be slimmer than the 50s neck, in addition to having a rosewood fretboard. It might be due to pickups, but I also think the 50s is a little brighter, perhaps due to the maple fretboard. I prefer the 50s because I like fatter necks and maple fretboards. Both are good basses, just depends on which one you like better.
@@alexp9048 I've been playing bass for 20 years , and never knew that. Learn something new everyday. Can you tell me what those metal bars that were over the pickups, on old school basses are for ?
@@basicstickfigure1087 I always thought they were used to shield from interferences, but it was only aesthetic. in particular the one at the bridge was used to insert a sponge to stop the strings
@@robertkerr9738I just got to play a V ll 50s yesterday at a local retailer. The neck felt the same as my V l 50s p , for whatever reason I could not differentiate them based on the particular example in the store.

Honestly one of the best P Basses I have ever played, I connected with it very hard.
Fantastic value and they sound really good! Thanks for watching - Anthony
Thanks for the review, Anthony. Very nice!.
Waiting for the vintera ii jazz bass review! 👍🏻
The best reviews! Thanks Tony!
Greetings from Argentina!
I got one of these after playing Jazz basses for years. The P neck is a little fatter but it gives me a real 50s vibe and it's unreal.
I played this bass against all the others that were available in the store. American Professionals, Vintage, Performers, Players, and the new outdated Vintera line.
I found that the vintera II had a low end that the others simply did not posses.
Close second was the now outdated version of this bass, a vintera in dakota red.
Unfortunately the neck was too large for my hands, even though I had no problem at all with the dakota red vintera. They are supposed to be the same on paper.
Killer bass and equally killer playing bro.
Thanks for Sharing Anthony great playing also 🎶🎵🎸🇬🇧

I think the same 50s more punchy, brighter maybe 60s playability much easier .
great tone nice playing

The Desert Sand is awesome!!! Great finish! Thanks for watching - Anthony
Fantastic sounding bass.
Incredible 😊
Man this is a great bass! I think its nicer than the 60's version imo. Although one of each would be awesome!
I’m between this one and the 60s. Why would you prefer the 50s? Thanks!
@@G.G.-nt2mi thank you sooo much for the reply and your opinion. I do agree with you, also like after necks and maple looks better IMO.

This could probably be the best P bass from Mexico
Hello how fat is the neck compared to an American Pro Pbass please ?
This one or the 60s vintera II pbass?
Yes
@@dangermoose666 thanks, so helpful

@@bucknasty69I agree. 50s Sounds a little brighter but I prefer that and the fatter maple neck
@@JorgeCLuinaI love the Vintera 50s I have, I also played the Vintera ii 50s in a shop and the neck feels very similar to the Vintera.
Neckdive problems??
why is the thumb rest on the wrong side ?
That's actually the right side, back in the days players used to play with thumb And grab the "thumb rest" with other fingers

In this instance it is called a tug bar ..not a thumbrest.
How is the neck compared to the Vintera 50s p bass? I have one of those, I love the 1 3/4 chunky neck.
I feel like this one is even chunkier.
@@robertkerr9738I just got to play a V ll 50s yesterday at a local retailer. The neck felt the same as my V l 50s p , for whatever reason I could not differentiate them based on the particular example in the store.
