Squier FSR Classic Vibe Bass VI Bass Guitar - Black, Maple Fingerboard
The Squier FSR Classic Vibe Bass VI in Black is a faithful tribute to Fender’s original Bass VI, produced from 1961–1975. Tuned an octave lower than a standard guitar and featuring a vintage-style floating tremolo, this six-string bass offers a unique tonal palette ideal for adventurous players and producers alike. Player-friendly features include a slim "C"-shaped neck profile with a 9.5" radius maple fingerboard, narrow-tall frets, and a 6-saddle vintage-style floating bridge with barrel saddles for solid string stability. Classic 1960s-inspired appointments, including a 3-ply black pickguard, nickel-plated hardware, and a vintage-tint gloss neck finish, complete the retro aesthetic. The onboard electronics feature three on/off slide switches for each pickup, plus a 2-position slide switch for the bass-cut "Strangle" circuit, expanding your tonal versatility.
