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.

    • ALMOST Perfect!
Color: Black Style: Guitars
New 2022 model. I love everything about this instrument - with one exception (more later). I've never played a bass with single-coil pickups. As a result, it doesn't have the deep P-Bass tones, but it sounds so springy, defined, and precise. I've always avoided instruments with "extra" strings. This is different. This is a bass and a guitar at the same time. It's like every 6-string guitar that's ever been, but one full octave lower, making it an actual bass. It's the same 4 string bass as all the others, but adds the 2 "missing" strings on the high end of a guitar. It has 3 single-coil pickups that can be switched into any configuration you can dream up. It has a cool bass-cut option that's fun to experiment with, and a whammy bar (on a bass!). I love that you can play full guitar chords on it. If fact, almost anything you can do on a guitar you can do here too, with a lot of pressure! It would be perfect, BUT... the intonation problem is real. The bridge, in my opinion, is not aligned to the instrument properly. It was installed straight across, perpendicular to the strings, when it should have been angled slightly, providing a slightly longer scale length on the low side. This would allow for proper intonation of both the low-E and the A strings (especially with lighter, lower-gauge strings). My solution was to order a wider aftermarket bridge ($100+, but easy enough that ANYONE can do it) designed specifically to fix this issue by allowing more room for adjusting the saddles. It's a perfect fix, but it's also a significant (and expensive) modification to have to do to a new instrument. It's great now, but it should have been this good out of the box. ... show more

    • No low E problems as reported with past models
Color: Black Style: Guitars
Did plenty of research on the Bass VI and noted the problems reported with low E string intonation and I did not experience that with my new model Classic Vibe at all.-stays in tune' I had been considering a Fender Pawnshop model and the Squier Modified Bass VI and am glad I did not pull the trigger on those as I saved a bucket load of money on a new one. Also, I have read where folks complain about the strings but like having all six string round wound as they ring quite nicely. Great value for the money and a well crafted instyrument by Fender. ... show more

    • I Thought I needed it
Color: Black Style: Guitars
The bass looks and feels beautiful! Closer inspection you will find flaws and they will add up. I thought this would be a great instrument to have too gap my guitar and bass playing, it is neither at all. You can only get “guitairish” sounds past the 9th fret and everything above is very “bass” I played it with a pick like a guitar but ALL notes and cord are VERY muddied up for the very lose E and A, that’s the guitar part, now the bass part (it’s a bass) it was better in the bass ways but strings are so close it is kinda odd to play for me and I’ll stick to actual electric bass. (Squire 70s P bass is awesome btw) Also the neck was quite off and needed to be adjusted buy a true professional. I know my way around a good set up, but this was alittle too much for me to want to take on on a new bass/guitar. All and all it could be really cool and fun I guess If this is what you “need” just know it will take some work to get it to “good” working order. ... 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

    • Simple issue, but NO help from Fender
Color: Black Style: Guitars
My Squire VI arrived quickly and in fantastic condition. Great fit and finish , and set up to play! However…. Someone forgot to pack the trem arm. I called Fender. Got a live , English speaking rep in no time!! Felling great!! However…… The rep told me that they could not help me with my problem, and I should just send it back if I don’t like it. I told him that I wasn’t satisfied with that and asked to speak to his manager. He hung up on me immediately. I figured maybe he was having a bad day. I called back and spoke to another rep. He had a much better demeanor, but gave me two options. Send it back, or buy a trem arm at my local guitar shop. So i dunno. I really like the guitar, but I guess Fender doesn’t really care if I get a trem arm because I only spent $459. So many people building great guitars these days. I like this VI, but it’s probably my first and last Squire. ... show more
