Yesterday i bought a 70s vintera. What an wonderfull instrument. A better quality than my American P-Bass after a first look. I'm in love with this 70's punchy sound.
Own a 70s Vintera Jazz in aged natural amber... swapped the black pickguard for a pearloid one and got like an orange n cream vibe going on sounds and plays incredible...
I have never been a jazz fan - buuuut, it may be time to put my ears aside, and bite the bullet. In your comparison, I tend to lean towards the extra bite of the 70's. If I want a 'mellow' jazz, I would just play all my P basses - Great content and video, as usual.
60s all day tonally and asthetically . The 70s has a lot of rasp and punch but you can achieve that kind of presence with dynamics on the 60s. I don't dig bound necks or the huge block inlays on the 70s. I also like the pup positioning better on the 60s, and that daphne blue with tort is just dripping mojo.
The 70s is absolutely stunning. Played today with a keyboardist and it held the low end down absolutely flawlessly. The natural amber 70s Vintera is my favorite bass of all time. When I play a note it rings out for 30 seconds. I'd go in and play before you buy to make sure you get a gem 💎😅😂
Wish fender came up with a vintera 70s p bass in natural w/maple fingerboard and black w/pau ferro fingerboard as well. Love the videos and nice playing man greetings from mexico :D
60s for me. The question is... what's your favorite Anthony? I guess the 60s, but it's just my hypothesis 🙂. The 60s neck pick-up is definetly in the P-Bass territory. Greatings from Italy 🇮🇹
Sounds great as always. Looks wise I prefer the 79s but sound wise it’s the 60s. Most jazz basses are set 60s style could be why the 70s are selling more because they are different. As far as neck size ever play a Warwick 6 string broadneck? Those things are massive with a 20 mm spacing on the bridge.
Honestly, specs. are probably not important to most players but you should note that you're selling/demoing an instrument online and many people don't have local shops in which they can lay hands on the instrument for themselves. For that reaso alone, specs such as neck profile and dimensions may be helpful and it's easy enough to just list those few bits of information; at least the neck specs.
The 70's Vintera bass has a sizzle and an attitude. The 60's Vintera has clank, a fuller, bolder tone. They're both nice. I think I like the 60's one a little more.
I felt the 70's had a bit more punch, while the 60's was a touch warmer in the miss. Honestly thought they both sounded great though! Thanks for watching - Anthony
@@EmpireMusicPgh I agree with you brother! Tried them both out and ended up buying a 70s in aged natural it's a stunning bass. Top of the Mexican line. I never stop getting compliments on my sound. Thanks for doing such awesome videos Anthony, you helped convince me!
Good comparison. Have you played a Fender FSR 70’s Jazz Bass? I understand they may have a painted headstock to match the body but are the specs similar to the 70’s Vintera? Just curious if you have played one. Thanks in advance for your reply.
My 70-71 is the only bass that makes me sound good ,maybe it’s the U shaped neck , , Ant you have a good sound but every time I thought you had a great sound you had the 70
