Reissue model of Fender's famous BASS VI!
Fender introduced the BASS VI (Bass Six) in 1961.
It has a short scale of 30 inches and tuned one octave below an electric guitar. It is equipped with a Jaguar and Jazzmaster type tremolo, and was supposedly intended to be used like a baritone guitar.
It has been used by George Harrison and John Lennon of The Beatles, Jack Bruce of Cream, and other famous players.
The original BASS VI was produced from 1961 to 1975. Around 1963, it became a four-switch version with a Jaguar-style PU and an additional low-cut switch. The bridge was also a Jaguar type spiral type until 1964, and changed to a mustang type bridge in 1965.
This Fender Japan BASS VI was made in 1992~1993, and was sold from the Custom Edition, which was a high-grade line at that time.
This model is a reissue of the specifications from around 1965, but the bridge has been replaced with a Jaguar type spiral bridge. The bridge spring and other parts were missing at the time of arrival, but have been repaired at our store and the tremolo can be used without any problems.
It has the tension characteristic of a short scale, and the low register can be played well.
It can be used with both bass and guitar amps, and you can play bass lines, chords with the low cut switch turned on, or solos in the high position without low cut. You can express nuances that neither bass nor guitar can.
This is the kind of instrument that lets you imagine all kinds of possibilities.
