Custom Squier Vintage Modified Bass VI, 6-String, 3-Color Sunburst

The legendary Fender VI 6-string baritone bass is reborn in this affordable Vintage Modified version from Squier, with three pickups and a 30" scale neck.

A Unique Beast Is Back on the Market!
The Squier Vintage Modified 6-String Bass VI puts one the most unique electric guitars of all time in your hands. And you'll probably find it way more playable than anything you'll find on the vintage market! With this release, Squier resurrects a rare baritone guitar that is designed to play one octave below standard guitar tuning. It follows all the design specs of the original Fender Bass VI, and adds a few modern touches that you'll find helpful as a contemporary player.

Original Design Specs -- With Some Key Updates
The basswood body on the Squier Vintage Modified Bass VI is finished with a classic polyurethane gloss, channelling a vintage look. The maple neck is carved into a modern "C" shape that most players find faster and more comfortable than the older Fender necks. It is set with 21 medium jumbo frets and a rosewood fingerboard, with a 9.5-inch radius. All frets are open accessible and playable. Pearloid block inlays appear on 9 frets.

Unique Pickup Design Yields Many Tonal Possibilities
You'll find that the electronics on the Squier Vintage Modified Bass VI faithfully recreate the sound and appearance of the original single-coil designs. On this instrument, you'll be playing Custom Jaguar Single-Coils in the Bridge and Neck positions, and a reverse-wound/reverse-polarity pickup in the Middle position. Each pickup is turned on or off via one of three corresponding slide switches. A fourth switch in this series engages a tone circuit for further range of sound.

Period-Accurate Hardware Details
Distinctive hardware on the Squier Vintage Modified Bass VI includes a 6-Saddle vintage-style bridge with a non-locking floating vibrato. Vintage-style tuning machines keep with the classic styling on the rest of this instrument. The three-ply pickguard looks super-cool, too.

All told, this Squier Bass VI gives you distinctive looks, distinctive sound, and fun tone-shaping tools for a truly no-brainer price!
