- Fender_Bass_VI abstract "The Fender Bass VI, originally known as the Fender VI, is a six-string electric bass guitar by Fender.The Fender VI was released in 1961, and followed the concept of the Danelectro 6-string bass released in 1956, having six strings tuned E-E, an octave below the Spanish guitar. Its other ancestor was the Fender Jazzmaster, with which it shared many styling and technical details, notably the Fender floating tremolo. The Bass VI had a similar but not identical body to the Jazzmaster.It departed from the concept of the Fender Precision Bass not only in having six strings, but also in having a shorter scale and thinner strings, and of course the tremolo arm (later called a whammy bar).The original issue Bass VI had three strat-style single pole pickups, which were controlled by using a panel of three on-off slider switches rather than the more conventional three-position switch. When the Fender Jaguar was released in 1962, it used the Jazzmaster body with its unusual lead/rhythm electrics, and the floating tremolo, but with a short scale length neck and the Bass VI switch panel in place of the conventional pickup change switch, and two unique "toothed" pickups. With only two pickups to control, on the Jaguar the third slider switch served as a bass cut (strangle) switch. In 1963, the Bass VI electronics were revised to incorporate some features from the Jaguar, with the adoption of toothed pickups and the addition of a fourth slider switch to provide strangle. This then remained the setup of the Bass VI throughout its remaining twelve years of continuous production.Like all other Fenders of the time, the Fender VI had a 7.25" fingerboard radius, which made them all tricky instruments to set up without buzzing, and required some adjustment of playing technique. The electronics and extra strings were ideal for a soloist, but in the 1960s few electric bass players played solos. The close string spacing and light strings might have made guitarists more comfortable, but were an annoyance to string bass players.In the late 1960s some artists used heavy guitar strings with resp. length and tuned the Bass VI to a baritone guitar from 'B to b' or 'A to a'.For whatever reason, the Bass VI never caught on to the extent that the four string Precision Bass and its derivatives did, even among surf music and country and western bands for which its tone colours would have seemed ideal.The original Fender VI, along with the Jaguar, the Jazzmaster and the Electric XII, has given a bound fretboard with rectangular block inlays in 1967 - followed by a thicker black CBS-style headstock decal and polyester finishes instead of nitrocellulose lacquer in 1968 - before being discontinued in 1975.In 2006, the Fender Custom Shop released a faithful recreation of the original Bass VI made in the early 1960s, featuring three single-coil pickups and identical electronics. This guitar was previously available as a '62 vintage reissue model made by Fender Japan in 1995.In 2013 Fender released a Bass VI as part of their Pawn Shop-series. Going with the series purpose to reconfigure classic Fender designs, the new Bass VI features a bridge humbucker and a Strat-style 5-position blade instead of multiple switches. There are three available colors: brown sunburst with a tortoiseshell pickguard, black with a tortoiseshell pickguard, and candy apple red with a white pickguard (and painted headstock).Later in 2013 Squier released a Bass VI as part of the Vintage Modified series, this Bass VI was more similar to the traditional Bass VI design with 4 switches (on/off for each pickup and a strangle switch) and a Jaguar style control plate. It continued the trend set by the Squier Vintage Modified Jaguars and Jazzmasters of having a non-locking tremolo plate. It is available in 3 colour sunburst or olympic white with a brown tortoiseshell pickguard and black with a white pickguard.".
