A Relic with a Story to Tell

This isn't just a bass. It's not just a guitar. It's the Fender Custom Shop '62 Bass VI, an instrument that occupies its own sonic space, and this one feels like it's been there and done that. The Super Heavy Relic finish on the Super Faded Ocean Turquoise body isn't just for show; it's a tactile experience. Every check, ding, and worn-away patch of finish feels earned, telling the story of a well-loved instrument that's seen countless stages and studio sessions. From the moment you pick it up, it feels like an old friend, comfortable, resonant, and ready to get to work.

Hand-Wound '62 Jaguar Tone

The heart of this Bass VI is its trio of Hand-Wound '62 Jaguar single-coil pickups. These aren't your typical bass pickups. They deliver a sound that's rich in harmonic complexity, with a tight low-end, a punchy midrange, and a glassy top-end that can cut through any mix. Whether you're laying down a fat, rumbling bassline, playing tic-tac melodies, or strumming full, resonant chords, these pickups capture every nuance with vintage warmth and clarity. The simple yet effective switching system gives you a wide palette of tones to explore, from warm and round to bright and biting.

Legendary Feel and Playability

The neck is where this instrument truly comes alive. The Quarter Sawn Maple neck is carved into a classic '60 Style Oval “C profile that feels substantial yet comfortable in your hand. The Super Heavy Relic treatment on the back of the neck gives it a smooth, worn-in feel that's a joy to play. Topped with a Rosewood fingerboard and a vintage-correct 7.25" radius, this neck offers a playing experience that's both authentic and inspiring. It’s a neck that invites you to explore new melodic and harmonic possibilities, blurring the lines between rhythm and lead.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
