    Love my Player Series Jazz! I’m a firm believer that the Player Series is the best bang for your buck out there.

      Absolutely great value! I could also see how someone values the more classic aesthetic of the Vintera.. but you can't go wrong with a Players! Thanks for watching - Anthony

      @@EmpireMusicPgh I always watch the bass stuff at Empire Music! Just wish they had a Vintera 70s Precision! Then again there’s the Nate Mendel signature model…

    I have a Vintera 70s bass and a player fretless j bass I like them both . I have many jazz basses they all sound different.

    Great piece of playing Anthony! Not too much to choose between the two basses. Only real thing about the player series I don't like are cheap white pick guards.

    • @j4wn
      @j4wn ปีที่แล้ว

      It's hard to tell in some light, but they are Parchment, not white. If you put a white and a Parchment side by side, you would see a noticeable difference. Without the Glare of lights, they look quite cool.

    Vintera J notable better tone , more solid focus than player J. Great comparation demo.

  • @nicholasmoses3583
    @nicholasmoses3583 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great playing and demo. Before hearing what you said, I preferred the bridge pup on the player bass and the the tone of the vintnera wide open. I greatly prefer the looks of the burst finish on the player series. That would be my choice of the two.

  • @bert_buikema
    @bert_buikema 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video (and nice playing) as always. Would it be possible to mix in (more of) the DI signal of the basses? I don't you how you guys record, but I guess it is mike only. I would like to hear more of the basses than just what comes out of the Rumble. May give the listeners a better impression of how they sound. Thanks.

    • @EmpireMusicPgh
      @EmpireMusicPgh  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for the feedback Bert - We A/B'd both signals (and a blend of the two) a while back, and we actually preferred the Mic signal. We always revisit things though, and if we find the direct signal is better, we'll use it. It is also was a good representation of the bass in a room. The Rumbles, while not expensive are actually quite clean and transparent I find (I'm actually gigging the Rumble 500 head). Thanks so much for watching and commenting - Anthony

    How about a comparison with a Fender Elite Jazz Bass compared to a Ultra Fender Jazz Bass 4 string. Love your videos from Sydney.

    How about a shootout between the 60th Anniversary Road Worn Jazz and the Flea Jazz? Battle of the dual concentric knob jazz basses! Side note for the Flea Jazz, I don't see that you guys have a review of it on the channel.

    You should do a player series vs CV series jazz and precision. I want a p bass and can’t decide between a fender player or squire CV 60s.

  • @gokcebalaban9792
    @gokcebalaban9792 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    thank you for the video. do you notice a quality difference in the wood used in both models? Especially in bodies. Or is there a difference just in pickups and hardware?

    • @EmpireMusicPgh
      @EmpireMusicPgh  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not really in the wood, but the finishes are different. Pickups and hardware are more vintage-inspired, and that certainly makes a sound/feel difference. Thanks for watching - Anthony

    Watching this a year ago, I thought the Vintera sounded slightly better.
    Now I think the Player does.

  • @Wombatmetal
    @Wombatmetal 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One thing you should have mentioned is the Vintera is really old school; you don't have access to the truss rod without unbolting the neck like it was in the 60s. To me that's a red flag.

    I’ve had a few jazz basses in my career as a musician but a jazz bass always kinda sounded boring to me. In the mix with other instruments it can be a good sound but playing a jazz without instruments… it doesn’t do it for me…
