Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI, Laurel Fingerboard, 3-Colour Sunburst

The Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI is an instrument that defies convention and opens up an entirely new sonic world. A true oddball in the best possible way, this six-string bass is tuned one full octave below a standard guitar, allowing for deep, rumbling lows while still retaining the playability of a traditional six-string. Whether you’re laying down thunderous basslines, exploring atmospheric baritone textures, or crafting intricate lead parts with an extra dose of depth, the Bass VI is a musical chameleon—equally at home in surf rock, indie, post-punk, and beyond.

Finished in a stunning 3-Colour Sunburst, this beauty exudes vintage charm, complete with a tortoiseshell pickguard that adds to its retro aesthetic. Inspired by the original Fender Bass VI from the 1960s, this model blends classic looks with modern reliability, making it the perfect choice for adventurous musicians looking to push the boundaries of tone.

A Unique Blend of Guitar and Bass

The 30-inch scale length makes the Bass VI feel comfortable for guitarists transitioning to lower tunings, while the "C"-shaped maple neck ensures smooth playability. The Indian laurel fingerboard with 21 narrow-tall frets offers plenty of room for expressive playing, whether you're plucking deep bass notes or strumming lush chords.

Three Pickups, Endless Tonal Possibilities

Equipped with a trio of Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups, this beast delivers a wide range of tones—from warm, rounded bass sounds to bright, articulate lead tones. Each pickup has its own on/off slide switch, letting you dial in just the right combination for any musical style. And when you need extra punch, the bass-cut "strangle" switch tightens up the low end for a more focused, percussive attack.

Vintage-Style Hardware, Modern Stability

A 6-saddle vintage-style bridge with a floating vibrato tailpiece gives you access to subtle pitch bends and expressive tremolo effects, adding even more character to your playing. Meanwhile, vintage-style tuners and nickel-plated hardware keep everything looking sharp while ensuring rock-solid tuning stability.

At Musicmaker, we love instruments that inspire creativity, and the Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI is a dream for players who want to step outside the norm. Whether you’re using it as a bass, a baritone guitar, or something in between, this instrument is packed with character, versatility, and undeniable coolness.
