The "Competition" Mustang Bass: Reissued Seventies DNA
Designed as a tribute to the '70s Mustangs, the Vintera II adopts the "Competition" aesthetic and compact format that made this model popular among rock, pop, and soul bassists. It sits at the heart of the Vintera II series: craftsmanship faithful to the era, modernized just enough for today's stage and studio.
Who is it for and what styles?
With its short scale and early '70s "C" neck profile, this Mustang suits both beginners looking for an easy-to-play bass and seasoned musicians who enjoy snappy instruments. It excels in indie/rock, soul/Motown, old-school funk, punk, pop, and recording situations where a round low end that sits immediately in the mix is desired.
The Sound
The central split single-coil delivers a muscular and punchy character, close to Fender tradition, with warm lows and woody mids. The alder/maple/rosewood combination provides punch, clarity, and smoothness in the upper spectrum. The simple circuit (volume/tone) allows switching from a muted "thump" to a more biting sound in one gesture. The through-body string mounting enhances attack and sustain, while the 30" scale gives that elastic feel and immediate low end typical of Mustangs.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
For a complete setup, add a quality strap, clip-on tuner, and a 6.35 mm mono instrument cable. These universal accessories fit perfectly with this bass and secure your rehearsals as well as live performances.
