Manufacturer's Description

MORE ABOUT VINTAGE MODIFIED BASS VI

Squier brings you the welcome return of a long-vanished Fender classic in the deeply satisfying form of the Vintage Modified Bass VI six-string bass. The original model of 1961-1975 has provided distinctively voiced low end for everyone from the Beatles to the Black Keys, Cream to the Cure, and many others.

The Vintage Modified Bass VI delivers authentically vintage-style look and tone, with a few modern touches such as a comfortable “modern C” neck profile and 9.5” fingerboard radius (the originals were 7.25”), and three custom Jaguar single-coil pickups with notched “claw” shielding rings (reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup).

Other features include the model’s classic 30” scale (standard tuning one octave lower than a guitar), maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays, four two-position slider switches (on/off switch for each pickup and one bass-cut “strangle” tone circuit switch), tortoiseshell pickguard (three-ply white-black-white on Black model), two black plastic control knobs (master volume, master tone), and vintage-style six-saddle bridge with non-locking floating vibrato. Available in Black, Olympic White and Three-color Sunburst.

Features

  • 30” scale length, guitar tuning one octave below standard
  • Maple neck with “C”-shaped profile
  • 21-fret Indian laurel fingerboard with white pearloid block inlays
  • Three custom single-coil Jaguar pickups (reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup for hum cancellation)
  • Three on/off slide switches (one for each pickup), “strangle” bass-cut slide switch
  • Vintage-style bridge with non-locking floating vibrato

THREE CUSTOM JAGUAR SINGLE-COIL PICKUPS

  • Jaguar single-coil pickups are widely renowned for their clear, clean sound.

BOUND ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD
The Vintage Modified Bass VI includes the authentic mid-’60s touch of a rosewood fingerboard with elegant white binding.

MODERN NECK WITH "C"-SHAPED PROFILE

This instrument features a modern neck designed for comfort and performance, with a contemporary "C"-shaped profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) and a smooth back finish—ideal for those who play with the thumb on the back or side of the neck.

STYLISH WHITE PEARLOID BLOCK INLAYS

Sophisticated white pearloid block inlays add a touch of class to this model, making it easier to navigate the fingerboard.

FOUR TWO-POSITION SLIDER SWITCHES

The Vintage Modified Bass VI bears four two-position slider switches—an on/off switch for each pickup and one bass cut "strangle" tone circuit switch—for a wealth of tonal variations.

VINTAGE-STYLE BRIDGE AND NON-LOCKING FLOATING VIBRATO WITH VINTAGE-STYLE TREMOLO ARM

Evoking the great guitars of the past, this model features a vintage-style bridge and non-locking floating vibrato with a vintage-style tremolo arm for authentic design and performance.
