Fender Vintera II '70s Telecaster Bass - Surf Green Reviews
This Fender Vintera II ’70s Telecaster Bass is a remarkably faithful reissue of the Tele Bass’ second evolution, which initially lasted for nearly the entirety of the decade until its 1979 discontinuation. True to the times, the Vintera II ’70s Telecaster Bass supplies its round and rowdy tone via a familiarly massive Fender Wide Range humbucker at the neck with accommodating Tone and Volume controls. Bassists at Sweetwater praise how Fender nailed the minute vintage details on this 4-string, including proprietary open gear tuners, a 2-saddle adjustable bridge, and the classic wooden tug bar propped on the body. The P-bass-shaped alder body and maple neck combination pay period-correct homage as well, the latter sculpted with a mid-’70s profile. For vintage enthusiasts, tone chasers, bass gurus, and gigging musicians alike, the Vintera II ’70s Telecaster Bass encapsulates the original’s bygone beauty and boastful tone in a modern, high-performance package.

Telecaster Bass
I WAS thrilled by the Vintera 70"s Telecaster Bass This whole series brings back the past. I have been playing 55 years and this bass brought back memories of my first Tele's from '73 and "77 Thank you It is a show place. Other players want to see it up close !! Bragging rights!!
Awesome bass.
I'd been waiting on this bass to be released since there was a leak about the new Vintera 2 series coming out with a Telecaster 70s bass. Andy Rice as usual set me up with the deal from Sweetwater and the bass arrived ready to play.
There are no flaws with this bass. The neck, fretwork, finish and playability are right up the with my American made Fender's.
The sound of this bass is big and clear if you turn the tone up more you get more clarity. You'll get some nice thump with the tone rolled back. This pickup is a great sounding pickup. This is definitely a great sounding and playing instrument and as usual Sweetwater came through with a fine buying experience.
