Would you go boutique or vintage?

[MoBeach]

I'll take lots of Pedulla's, like one of each model.

Personally I'd go vintage over boutique because boutique basses just don't appeal to me.

 

[RickenBoogie]

Boutique, 'cause I like my basses shiny.

Indeed.

I've seen one of those before but I can't think of what it is right now...what is it?

Very artistic,.....yet I can't help but imagining.....a guy like this playing it in public.....

The minute you play a real 57 P on the gig, your question will be answered.

 

[MNAirHead]

I own both..

Quint sincerely .. botique.. I'd play it first since they're not all the same.

It is cool having vintage stuff on the gear list -- does suck that some garage sale copies play, sound and feel better.

Fantastic...you mean they've got a B string now?

Vintage for me. Aged wood sounds fantastic imo.

Carrots. I would like both boutique and vintage and a few starter basses too.
My vote goes to boutique, still. If i had to pick between boutique and vintage I'd pick a boutique.

Boutique.......modern take on a vintage bass a.k.a. a better made than Fender bass!

I don't really see this as an 'either/or' issue.
