Fender Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI, Laurel Fingerboard, Black

The Classic Vibe Bass VI is a faithful tribute to the hidden weapon of producers and adventurous players since its original production from 1961 to 1975. Tuned an octave below a guitar, and featuring a vintage-style tremolo, the Bass VI is the perfect companion any guitar or bass player looking to explore new frequencies. Player-friendly features include a slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile, with an easy-playing 9.5”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a floating bridge with barrel saddles. This throwback Squier model also features 1960s inspired headstock markings, nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tinted gloss neck finish for an vintage aesthetic vibe.

This model features Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups for authentic Fender tone. The vintage-style tremolo and floating bridge, featuring barrel saddles for solid string stability, lets you create inspiring string-bending effects. Flaunting classic looks, the vintage-style tuning machines provide optimal tuning action. The durable nickel-plated hardware adds a deep, rich throwback look to the instrument. The neck on this model sports a vintage-tinted gloss finish for a highly desirable aged look.
