Description

The Classic Vibe Bass VI is a faithful tribute to the secret weapon of producers and adventurous players that have dared to explore it since its original production from 1961 to 1975. Tuned an octave lower than a guitar and featuring a vintage-style tremolo, the Bass VI is the perfect companion to accompany any guitar or bass player into uncharted territory. Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable �C�-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5�-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a floating bridge with barrel saddles for solid string stability. This throwback Squier model also features 1960s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.

    • Enjoying This Very Much
Color: 3-Color Sunburst Style: Guitars
Out of the box, please get the .100 strings by Fender (if you want rounds) or the 95's from La Bella (if you want flats). I mounted the Fender set and the guitar intonates perfectly. The strings this is delivered with are .084's and the low E will wiggle too much for its own good. This guitar features much larger strings than a standard six-string guitar (as you know) but it still sports regular vintage Fender tuning machines. This is acceptable, but you'll find the tuner thumbscrews are a little small for the force needed and they're very close to each other. Fat fingered players take note. The vintage tuners are stressed with the larger strings. Mine broke a gear almost immediately when I put the new strings on. Click - slack - click - slack - broken. I contacted Fender and all they wanted was my receipt and they sent me a whole new set of tuning machines (very generous!), but I also had purchased some Gotoh tuners which I'll try soon. BTW if you have a broken gear, try what I did - get a slotted head screwdriver and put it in the groove and turn the tuning peg while turning the thumbscrew and you can get past the broken gears and continue - as long as the "in tune" position has intact gears you should be okay; it will tune to pitch and stay that way. All this for a brand new instrument? Is it worth the trouble? Oh yea. This guitar is a real pleasure. She's a stallion in a barn full of regular, boring old guitar donkeys. If you're a guitar player looking to lay down some bass lines, look no further. You now have a new hobby! What fun it is to get grooving on those low strings! When set up well, this guitar is a blast to play! ... show more

    • Fun to Play! More Fun Than a Baritone Guitar
Color: Black Style: Guitars
My negatives, first: Amazon sent me a damaged Bass VI, at first. It had a deep gauge at the top of the headstock, about the size of a large flat-head screwdriver. It was deep enough to penetrate the finish, gauging into the wood. Amazon sent me a replacement before I had even returned the damaged one. A second negative is again aimed at Amazon, and that is that they do not package guitars for shipment very well. They ship in the same boxes that they receive from the factories. Asian cardboard is notoriously flimsy. Both the damaged guitar, and its replacement, arrived in boxes that were damaged, and torn open, in places, during shipping. I will say that I don't believe that Amazon was at fault in shipping me the damaged guitar: although I stated that the box was damaged, the torn open portion was NOT anywhere near the headstock, but near the bottom. This tells me that the guitar was damaged at the factory, in Indonesia, and shipped out, anyhow. The replacement was undamaged, although the shipping box was also torn open, near the bottom. I have purchased guitars from other online sellers- they typically place the boxes I've described, above, inside larger, sturdier boxes for shipping. I've never received damaged guitars from other retailers (zZounds is excellent!); this is the 3rd damaged guitar I've received from Amazon. As for the guitar, I love it! And yes, I refer to it as a guitar, although it is technically a 6-string bass guitar. It's one octave lower than a standard guitar, but plays just like a standard guitar, same chord shapes, etc.. It has thicker strings, which require specific replacement, but if you've already got calluses, there's no issue there. I have to talk myself into putting it down, after playing for over an hour. It really sounds funky, thick and low, and is fun to play. I also own an ESP Baritone guitar, which is also tuned lower than a standard guitar, but not a whole octave. It's nice, but not fun: it lacks funkiness. The Bass VI is funky. I read some negative reviews, mostly regarding construction, but I was not wary enough to stay away. Glad I didn't. If you order one, inspect it immediately, and closely. But you may well end up with a cool Bass VI, and love it, too. If you get one with issues, get Amazon to replace it, immediately. They're good about that. I think they only order about 20 at a time, from Fender. They were out for awhile until just before Christmas. That being the case, they might not have a replacement for you, but issue a refund. If that happens, go over to zZounds site, order from them. Same price. Better interest-free financing, too (Amazon: 5 months, zZounds: 12 months interest-free!) ... show more

    • Really good for the price
Color: Black Style: Guitars
This is a lot of guitar for the price. You’ll have to get a different set of strings with proper gauges, thicker low E string. You’ll need to get a professional setup The worst thing about it is the dried out fretboard. That’s where the ‘economy’ aspect of this instrument is really apparent. That said, good looking, sounds good, really solid. ... show more

    • Incredible Value for Money!
Color: Black Style: Guitars
What a perfect way to get acquainted with a new instrument on a budget. The Squier brand has really come up in quality and I’ll be sticking with this example for years to come.

    • Wow!
Color: Black Style: Guitars
I have a P bass, a Mustang Shortscale, and a IVY "viola" bass (good). Trying to find something that inspires play. I ordered this one in black. Despite scary holes in box, it came in very good condition. No sharp frets, and few high frets. Nut was close. I swapped to La Bella VI flats. Intoneates on the low E. The combo of super-smooth strings and 6 strings....it's really something. I'm still dialing down the action to as low as possible, but it's already crazy fun compared to my other basses, which also have good strings. The 6 strings let you run lines which seem out of the question. It makes many tones. I thought cowboy chords would be meh.....oh no. They sound quite fresh, and even up there....no stretch for normal hands. It would be the last bass I sell....or that's my thinking right now anyway ;) ... show more
