Fender Vintera III Early '60s Bass VI RW, Candy Apple Red Overview

The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Bass VI RW is a faithful recreation of one of Fender's most distinctive instruments. Built with an alder body and a maple neck topped with a round-laminate rosewood fingerboard, it delivers the punch, clarity, and rich low-end that made the original Bass VI a cult favourite across decades of music. Three vintage-style early '60s single-coil pickups provide a wide tonal range, from deep, growling bass lines to bright, articulate textures that sit perfectly in layered arrangements.


The 30" scale maple neck features an early '60s "C" profile that feels slim and comfortable in the hand, while the 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets offer a classic Fender playing experience. A vintage-style floating tremolo allows for expressive vibrato effects, while the integrated Bass VI mute adds extra tonal control for distinctive muted sounds. Finished with vintage-style hardware and supplied with a deluxe gig bag, the Vintera III Bass VI captures the unique character of this legendary Fender design.

Unique Bass VI sound and versatility

The Bass VI occupies a distinctive space between guitar and bass, and the Vintera III Early '60s Bass VI captures that character with remarkable authenticity. Three vintage-style early '60s Bass VI single-coil pickups deliver a wide tonal palette, combining deep bass response with clarity and articulation. The bridge pickup provides bright, cutting tones that highlight pick attack and rhythmic detail, while the neck pickup offers warm low-end depth for full-bodied bass lines. Blending the pickups creates rich harmonic textures that work beautifully in layered arrangements. From punchy low-end grooves to melodic lines and atmospheric textures, the Bass VI offers an incredibly versatile voice.

Comfortable early '60s neck design

The maple neck features an early '60s "C" profile that recreates the comfortable feel of Fender instruments from the period. The shape provides a balanced grip that feels natural whether you’re playing bass lines, chords, or lead-style passages. The 30" scale length sits perfectly between traditional bass and guitar scales, making the instrument approachable for both guitarists and bassists. Paired with a 7.25" radius round-laminate rosewood fingerboard, the neck delivers the smooth vintage feel Fender players expect.

Classic offset tremolo and Bass VI mute

A defining feature of the Bass VI is its vintage-style floating tremolo system, and the Vintera III stays true to that iconic design. The floating tremolo tailpiece allows smooth, expressive vibrato effects that range from subtle pitch movement to dramatic dives and shimmering textures. This design became closely associated with surf, indie, and alternative music, giving players the ability to add movement and atmosphere to their playing. Alongside the tremolo, the Bass VI includes a traditional string mute that can be engaged for a distinctive muted tone reminiscent of vintage studio recordings. Together these features give players access to a wide range of expressive sounds.

Flexible switching and vintage hardware

The Vintera III Bass VI offers extensive tonal control through its classic switching system. Each pickup has its own dedicated on/off switch, allowing players to blend pickup combinations. A low-cut switch adds extra tonal shaping by tightening the low end and enhancing clarity when needed. Vintage-style tuning machines provide the classic Fender look while offering smooth adjustment and dependable tuning stability. Combined with the instrument's alder body and traditional hardware appointments, every element contributes to a Bass VI that feels true to the early '60s original while delivering the reliability modern players expect.
