Your thoughts on the Fender Vintera 50s Precision Bass

Hello folks, I'm interested in buying the Fender Vintera Precision Bass. What are your thoughts on it? How does the neck feel, is it as chunky as some people say? I think they look really nice but the feel of the bass is more important for me

Cheers
 
The Vintera Precision evolved from the Classic '50s Precision. I own the latter.

If you'll excuse the peanut butter analogy, one person's "chunky" is another person's "creamy." However, having played Fender basses for many years, I will say that the radius and nut width on the Classic and the Vintera make them unique in terms of feel – in a good way for me. If at all possible, compare a Player Precision with a Vintera Precision in your own hands, and you'll definitely feel the difference.
