Fender Bass VI

Electric bass

Introduced in 1961, the Bass VI is a six-string bass tuned a full octave below a guitar, built on a short 30-inch scale with an offset body, three single-coil pickups, and a floating tremolo. Its tight, trebly voice sits between guitar and bass, and it was used by players including Jack Bruce and members of the Beatles.
