The Classic Vibe Bass VI is a faithful tribute to one of Fenders most distinctive creations a secret weapon of producers and adventurous players since its original run from 1961 to 1975. Tuned an octave lower than a standard guitar, the Bass VI bridges the gap between guitar and bass, offering deep, resonant tones with guitar-like playability. Equipped with a vintage-style floating tremolo and three Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups, it delivers versatile sound options for any musical exploration. With a slim C-shaped neck, comfortable 9.5″ radius fingerboard, and 1960s-inspired details, this model captures authentic vintage style and feel.
