VI


The Fender Bass VI definitely has a cult following. In the mean time, Fender has no interest in reviving one in the catalogs but it did make the Squier manifestation instead (Classic Vibe Series, seen above). The Bass VI was understood to be the first baritone instrument that fits into the guitar domain as opposed to the bass domain. Maybe this helps - it's a guitar made to encroach the bass territory while retaining the guitar characteristics, as opposed to a scaled down bass that is actually very guitar in nature. OK so it's trapped in the middle but it's definitely unique. The Squier version, in recent times, had shown a very strong price appreciation but it's available for a reasonable $699 (Swee Lee) if you are interested.
