1963 Fender Bass VI [*Demo Video]

1963 Fender Bass VI in factory custom Shoreline Gold! The medium taper C-profile neck has smooth, easy action and features a thick slab of Brazilian rosewood. The stock Jaguar-style pickups sound killer delivering outstanding note separation and clarity! In original condition excluding an added string tree, a replaced nut, and a professionally re-wound middle pickup. In excellent cosmetic shape with minor dings and evidence of playwear. A great example of Fender's quality craftsmanship! Purchase includes the original nut and original hardshell case.

"A metallic gold finish on a guitar can go one of two ways: it either exudes class or looks like a dumpster on fire. Luckily, Fender’s Shoreline Gold always strikes us more like Champagne than it does Coors Light. And on a Bass VI? A more distinguished combination is hard to imagine. By far the most expensive bass in Fender’s catalog, even the top of the line Jazzmaster cost just a few dollars more. Considering Shoreline Gold was one of Fender’s rarest custom colors at the time and the Bass VI one of its rarest models, its safe to say there aren’t many in this configuration out there. From a player’s standpoint, the Bass VI is a true delight. Using pickups that were essentially pulled straight from a Jaguar, these basses possess a clarity and note separation that its 4-string cousins can sometimes fail to deliver. Whether you’re playing in a local wedding band or you have a residency in Vegas, this is the perfect bass for all occasions." - Tyler Geske
