Up for sale, a 2020 Squier by Fender Classic Vibe Bass VI in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original gigbag and hangtags. This Classic Vibe Bass VI closely adheres to the features introduced on this model in 1963, with a four-switch control plate and three Jaguar-esque single coil pickups. Beloved by session musicians, used prominently in the Beatles catalog, wielded by Jack Bruce on a good chunk of Cream's recordings, and central to much of the Cure's output in the past 40+ years, the Bass VI is an indispensable tool for a wide range of musical styles.
Originally designed for studio players looking to nail the Nashville "tic-tac" bass tones, the Bass VI has a present and clear low end, with a sinewy snap that cuts through a mix yet still retains plenty of warmth. For guttural surfy twang, the Bass VI is ideal, and when drenched in Fender reverb, the tones can be haunting and ethereal. Of course the range of the instrument allows the player to also strum full chords and augment bass lines with leads and complex chord shifts not possible on a conventional bass, stretched further by the Jaguar-style “Strangle” Bass-Cut switch. The tonewood complement comprises a poplar body, maple neck, and bound rosewood fretboard, and this Bass VI weighs 9lbs 7oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 24-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and spot-on intonation.
