Hi! I own a standard MK Studio bass and not the up version. I might still tell you my experience. I've mounted used Spirocore weich on mine and they're still on since two years without any issue whatsoever. My experience is super limited but I don't see why it should not work for the up version...

Ciao! I've bought mine second hand on mercatino musicale. When I was looking for prices I just wrote to Mk basses. The owner is very kind and super fast in replying. He sent me all the prices for all the options and models. Hope this helps. MK realizes instruments of different sizes and...

Still playing mine but I'm not playing to sell it, sorry! I've got a MK Studio with Spirocore light. I use it to study at home. I play it with headphones and a Nux Mighty plug. It works like a breeze. It feels like a real upright thanks to the real bridge, the sides and the stand. I don't mind...

IMHO you might be adding complexity to an already difficult task: learning the DB. At the beginning you'll be struggling with intonation, arco, string eight and positions. I'd suggest to use some standard string which maintain tuning and play reasonably with arco. You probably won't get the...

Did something happened?

Empire Music has the best demo out there. It's because of them that I got interested in the Vintera 50s P. By the way, at the moment, I'm not on the market for another bass. My precision acts, behave and sounds like I think a precision should. It just works for me.

It looks pretty similar to the Vintera Precision Vintage Blonde I own. Mine has an hash body, I don't know about the Vintera II.
