Full Description

Classic design and superior craftsmanship

A classic electric guitar that combines vintage aesthetics with modern playability. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this bass VI is sure to delight musicians of all skill levels. The body of the guitar is made from alder, a tonewood known for its balanced and resonant qualities. This is crafted with a Bass VI shape, offering a comfortable experience, making it suitable for long gigs or studio sessions. What's more, the gloss polyester finish not only enhances the guitar's appearance, but also protects it from wear and tear, ensuring that it will look and sound great for years to come.

Elegantly contoured neck and silky-smooth playing

Featuring a maple neck with a mid '60s C shape, the Bass VI provides a comfortable grip and effortless playability. The bolt-on neck construction ensures that the instrument is stable and resonant, allowing for optimal tone and sustain. And with its gloss urethane finish, the wood is protected from humidity and temperature changes.

Completing this is a slab rosewood fingerboard, adding warmth and offering a smooth surface. With a radius of 7.25" and twenty-one vintage tall frets, this bass VI allows for easy string bending and effortless chord playability. Adorned on these are white dot inlays, providing a classic touch, while the vintage-style butt adjust truss rod ensures precise neck adjustments to suit your playing style.

A trio of timeless pickups

At the heart of this model lies three vintage-style Bass VI single-coil pickups, embodying the essence of Fender's iconic tone with exceptional clarity and definition. This trio offers a versatile range of tonal possibilities, making them suitable for any genre or musical style. From warm and mellow harmonics to bright and punchy sounds, the Bass VI delivers the timeless Fender style that musicians have come to love and rely on.

Alongside the electronics, three pickup on/off switches and the low-cut switch allow for precise control over your sound, giving you the ability to shape your output to perfection. Also featured are master volume and tone controls, offering further customisation, allowing you to dial in the perfect balance of warmth and clarity. Additionally, a vintage-style floating tremolo bridge with a lock button and push-in arm adds versatility and expressive potential to your playing.
