Is it a baritone? Or is it a bass? Decades later, the debate rages on. Whatever your opinion, the Bass VI delivers stunning new tonal colors with plenty of room to tweak your tone. With a trio of single-coil pickups and versatile controls, it's easy to find inspiring low-end tones. From Jack Bruce of Cream to George Harrison, Aerosmith, and even Robert Smith of The Cure, the Bass VI has served as the catalyst for some of the most interesting sounds in rock history.

This Fender Custom Shop re-creation boasts all the hallmarks of the original: a resonant alder body carved into a striking yet comfortable Jaguar body that's easy to play for hours. The lightly flamed maple neck has a '60s-style oval "C" profile, topped by a 7.25"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium vintage frets. A trio of Jaguar-style single-coil pickups delivers a powerful array of rich tones, while easy control is provided by three on/off switches and a strangle switch.

This Bass VI was built in 2006 and features a gloss NOS Sunburst finish. The bass has some light playwear, but still looks remarkably good for an instrument almost 20 years old! The Bass VI comes in a hardshell case with a Fender Custom Shop certificate.
