About Squier Bass VI

The Squier Bass VI is Squier's incarnation of this legendary Fender instrument. The Fender Bass VI was the secret weapon of many an artist and producer since its introduction in the 60's, tuned just like a regular 6-string guitar - but down a whole octave! This gave it a warm but defined sound that just wasn't like conventional long scale 4 string basses, or even baritone guitars. It was its own beast and made it into the armoury of players as diverse as Jack Bruce of Cream, John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, and Robert Smith of The Cure, as well as countless old school country recordings.

The Squier Bass VI delivers this legendary instrument to the masses with outstanding build quality and all the right features, like the short 30" scale, vintage style floating tremolo, and singlecoil pickups built to really translate the extended low end of this guitar.
