'74 Tele project and another Vintera II Tele Bass

(1/3) > >>

  So I decided to use my surf green Vintera Tele Bass as a donor for the '74 body I picked up on Ebay.  The parts swap went super easy and I'm really happy with the results! Looks great next to my just arrived Vintage White  Vintera II Telecaster Bass 🙂 I'll sell the green body to recoup some of my costs.

Looks good, and the compatibility of parts suggests Fender did a good job of cloning the '70s basses for the Vintera range.


Why is every modern Mustang Bass the wrong shape? I just picked up a JMJ Mustang and the treble-side tug bar mounting holes are at the same weird angle as on the new Vintera Mustang Bass models. The body shape is the same as the '90s CIJ reissues onwards. Odd when the JMJ model is supposedly a clone of a '60s bass.

   The Vintera II Telecaster Bass feels and looks more like a dead nuts reissue, Fender did a really nice job on these
  Tge only giveaways are the tinted neck and alder body (which I love btw).

  Here's some pictures of the process.
