The Vintera II ’70s Mustang Bass is truly a love song to a transitional era in Fender's history. This short-scale classic features a 30" scale length, early ’70s C-shape maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and an alder body with “competition” stripes. The vintage-style ’70s split single-coil Mustang Bass pickup produces warm, dynamic and resonant low end.
“If you’re looking for a bass that has some cool vintage-style hardware, this is totally for you,” says Tiana Ohara, an LA-based multi-instrumentalist who has played with boygenius, NIKI, UMI and Queen Naija. “It also plays buttery smooth, sounds so good and feels amazing. I could definitely see myself using the Vintera II ’70s Mustang Bass in sessions or onstage.”
With the Vintera II ’70s Mustang Bass, Fender proves yet again there’s no “competition” when it comes to low-end tone.

I’m amazed at the tonal versatility with that pickup configuration and especially without any switches using only dials. It does every style incredibly well! The body contours is a big bonus also especially over a traditional slab Mustang body.
You got some incredible sound thank you for putting this in my gmail
Luv this! ❤️
sounds great, nice review
where is the trussrod access?
To my ears this sounds better than the JMJ Mustang.
Perhaps you prefer roundwounds strings over flats? That’s the main difference. The pickups aren’t going to be drastically different. But I agree, this bass sounds excellent to me too.
I don't mind that the pj model doesn't have body contours...that probably makes it balance better
What is the slanted bar for? I imagine it is a thumb rest for left-handed players. But, it's a right-handed bass. Please, do tell...
It is called a tug bar. Guitar players used ti play bass often with their thumb. They would brace their right hand by tugging the bar with their fingers. Gibson used them, Rickenbacker.. Most players did not use them but I saw a few old country guys in the early Seventies.
@kennygardner5041 Some guys developed great thumb plucking techniques. I recently got into rediscovering the 70s Native American band, Redbone.
They played a combination of Rock, Funk, Soul and Pop. They had a couple of hits like Come and Get Your Love and The Witch Queen of New Orleans.
Their musical style choices downplayed their talent level quite a bit. They were quite good singers and musicians in my opinion, especially the two brothers, Lolly and Pat Vegas who founded the band.
I've watched several old videos of the band at their peak in the 70s. Pat's thumb plucking technique was very good. He also played finger style sometimes, but the stuff that he could play with his thumb left me very impressed.
I'm sure there's a lot of footage of many other thumb pluckers, but Pat Vegas and the entire Redbone band were very underrated as musicians.
Can’t hear the damn thing…
I'm using computer speakers and it sounds muddy.
@@nickk5948 I thought short-scale basses were for guitarists who don't want their precious little hands to cramp up when they pick up a long-scale bass.
@tortillaman2491 Short-scale basses are designed to make bassists with small hands, short arms or chronic hand shoulder, and back pain, say "Where have you been all my life, Beautiful?
@@tortillaman2491lol or Tiny people like me… I love this bass.
