Product Description

Since it's original release in 1961 the Fender Bass VI has offered a rather unique hybrid of guitar and bass: it still has 6 strings like a guitar but they're tuned an octave down which gives you the chance to produce some really haunting lower-than-baritone chord playing, or awesome melodies and solos spanning far below the range of a normal guitar!

Fast forward to today and the Squier Vintage Modified Bass VI gives you the same unique and alluring instrument in a new affordable package! Featuring comfortable modern playability the Vintage Modified Bass VI is a great chance to own a real piece of Fender heritage and a great guitar and a value price to boot!

Here's what Fender say about the Squier Vintage Modified

Squier brings you the welcome return of a long vanished Fender classic in the deeply satisfying form of the Vintage Modified Bass VI six-string bass. The original model of 1961-1975 has provided distinctively voiced low end for everyone from the Beatles to the Black Keys, Cream to the Cure, and many others.

The Vintage Modified Bass VI delivers authentically vintage-style look and tone, with a few modern touches such as a comfortable “modern C” neck profile and 9.5” fingerboard radius (the originals were 7.25”), and three custom Jaguar single-coil pickups with notched “claw” shielding rings (reverse-wound/ reverse-polarity middle pickup).

Other features include the model’s classic 30” scale (standard tuning one octave lower than a guitar), maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays, four two-position slider switches (on/off switch for each pickup and one bass-cut “strangle” tone circuit switch), tortoiseshell pickguard (three-ply white-black-white on Black model), two black plastic control knobs (master volume, master tone), and vintage-style six-saddle bridge with non-locking floating vibrato. Available in Black, Olympic White and Three-color Sunburst.
