I had a Vintera Mustang bass for a while - Fender are pretty good at delivering incremental gains as you go up their product range, so the Vintera's are definitely a step up in quality compared to the Mexican "Player" range but also a step down from an American Standard I had in the past.
The new Vintera II basses get pretty good reviews on bass chat.
The caveat on all that is whether or not you think it's crazy to be paying a grand for a Mexican Fender & what your politics around that are.
Anyone know what the quality is like on these Vintera guitars? Ever since I sold my USA Tele Deluxe a few years ago I've missed it. Don't have the bones for anything in that league just now though....
