With twenty vintage tall frets and black dot inlays, this bass offers a vintage experience with excellent note definition.

To complete the vintage aesthetic, the Vintera II 50s Precision Bass is equipped with a range of authentic, high-quality hardware. The 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles ensures optimal intonation and sustain, while the open-back tuning machines offer stable and precise tuning. Additionally, thanks to the 1-ply gold anodised aluminium pickguard, this bass exudes a touch of elegance, while the vintage-style disc string trees help maintain proper string tension for improved tuning stability.
