Squier's big Bass VI looks more beautiful than ever outfitted in a CME-favorite finish, Tahitian Coral, with a painted headcap to match. Its most notorious features, like the triple-Alnico pickup set, three on/off pickup slides, bass-cut Strangle circuit, and floating vibrato bridge, remain intact, menacing as ever for full-tilt vintage functionality and terrific tone.
The Classic Vibe Bass VI is a faithful tribute to the secret weapon of producers and adventurous players that have dared to explore it since its original production from 1961 to 1975. Tuned an octave lower than a guitar and featuring a vintage-style tremolo, the Bass VI is the perfect companion to accompany any guitar or bass player into uncharted territory. Player-friendly features include a slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets. This throwback Squier model also features 1960s inspired headstock markings, nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tinted gloss neck finish for an old-school aesthetic vibe.
