  1. [b]2009 Fender® Custom Shop 60′s Bass VI Guitar 3-Tone Sunburst[/b] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]I won't bore you with lists of players who have used these, needless to say, it's a fabulous instrument for bassists, and guitarists alike, if you're looking, I guess you know what it is.[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]This is a USA Fender Custom Shop model, which, according to Suzi at the Custom Shop, were limited to 99 examples worldwide, 50 various colours, and 49 in sunburst. Not to be confused with the Japanese reissues, which as you'll know doubt be aware, are far removed from being accurate reissues of the originals, and certainly not to be confused with the recent Pawn Shop series, not quite sure what they are supposed to be. Fender appear to be running out of idea's, anyway, here's the specs, pics.[/font][/color] [i]3-Color Sunburst Thin Skin Lacquer Finish Off-set contour 2 Piece Light Weight Alder Body Custom Bass VI Style Quarter Sawn Neck Dark Indian, thick Rosewood veneer Neck Ivory Dot Inlays 60's Bass VI Decal 7.25″ Fretboard Radius Fret Wire: 21 Vintage 2.375 In R5 Custom Shop Handwound Vintage Flat Magnet Pickups Bass VI Pickup Switching And Wiring Bass VI Tremolo Assemblies Vintage 3-Ply Tortoiseshell Pickguard Vintage Knobs, Switch Tip and Tremolo Arm Tip Bone Nut Nickel Kluson deluxe style Tuners Comes With Deluxe Fender Vintage Reissue Black Hardshell Case, with fender Custom Shop Limited Edition embossed in plush pile lining Includes: Polishing Cloth, Manual, sticker, case keys, 2 spare sets of Fender strings, and Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity Serial Number # R43744 Weight – 8.3 lbs[/i] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]The following description is taken from a 60's Fender catalogue[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]"Built with both the guitarist and bassist in mind, the Fender Bass VI is tuned one octave below the standard guitar. Numerous tone combinations are made possible with three adjustable full-range pickups. The circuit incorporates three on-off switches, one for each pickup, plus a tone modification switch enabling the player to select the pickups individually or in any combination.[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]In addition, a tone control permits further modifications of any selected position. Chord structures and fingering are identical to the guitar, thus, both guitarist and bassists will find the instrument easy to play and adapt to their present orchestrations and instrumentation.[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,](Note: Multiple different tuning options are possible with this, check out youtube, or just google Bass VI tunings, for various interpretations, and options)[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Among other outstanding features of this instrument are the 'floating tremolo' action …smooth and positive return to pitch and a 'Trem-Lock' permitting simultaneous string change. The Fender Mute and reinforced fast action neck with trim and inlaid position markers are additional features employed. Micro bridges are individually adjustable for perfect string length and a master bridge adjustable for height. Comfortable playing over long periods is achieved with the 'off-set' waist design".[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Condition mint[/font][/color] [url="http://s91.photobucket.com/user/luckylips2/media/Fender%20bass%20Vi/imagejpg2_zpsa2e4ad6e.jpg.html"]http://s91.photobuck...e4ad6e.jpg.html[/url]
  2. Yes it was my bass that was on eBay judging by the messages i was receiving on there i decided it probably wasn't the most appropriate place to sell it
  3. Serial # 080258 little to almost no use. 24 frets, 35" scale, Figured Walnut Top, phenolic fingerboard with side dots, Bartolini pickups with NTMB preamp, and the black hardware all are without a scratch, swirl, or flaw. The carbon fiber neck is arrow straight, possesses a truss rod but likely adjustment will never be required. Tone knobs/pots are dead quiet, the sound of the instrument piano like in its clarity. Cannot fathom anyone being disappointed with this rare, no longer made, now almost impossible to find beauty.
