Nice demo, thanks very much. I've been after a Fender Telecaster bass for ages but they're just going further and further out of my budget. I considered a Vintera but I don't like the idea of just the two saddles, that looks like trouble in the intonation area. Vintage is a respected brand and on the up. Question on colour. I want a blonde bass. Yours in this vid looks great, almost the same colour as the fingerboard, but if I look online today on other sites the body colour looks a bit darker? Is this just to do with lighting, or is the latest production run a bit darker? Thanks in advance.
@v2factoryman The colour was more greenish that I was expecting, I initially wasn't sure about it but it grew on me and I imagine in a few years with a bit of life on it, few dings and a bit of blood sweat and tears and it will age beautifully.... As for intonation, course your right, the intonation will always be a little out, but for me it's all a part of the charm and modern perfection has sanitized music to a point that it is so flawless it's boring! I like a bit of sag, a bit of error built in.... makes it very himan!

They both sound out of tune.
@jazzman1954 Your probably right.... I should tune them before videoing them.... Poor show!!! LOL
