Squier FSR Classic Vibe Bass VI in Oxblood with Matching Headcap and Gold Hardware

Full Description

Explore octave-down sounds

The Bass VI occupies distinctive territory between guitar and bass, with tuning set an octave lower than a guitar. Inspired by the original Bass VI models produced from 1961 to 1975, this Classic Vibe version gives guitarists and bassists another voice to explore within their playing. Its 30" scale length forms part of that characteristic design, creating a platform intended for adventurous sounds. For players and producers looking beyond conventional guitar or bass roles, its distinctive format opens up alternative musical possibilities.

Flexible triple-pickup electronics

Three Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups provide the electronic foundation of this Classic Vibe Bass VI. Each pickup has its own on/off slide switch, allowing different combinations to be selected, while master volume and master tone controls provide straightforward overall adjustment. A two-position slide switch operates the bass-cut Strangle circuit, adding another way to shape the instrument's response. Together, this SSS configuration and dedicated switching system provide flexible control over the Bass VI sound while retaining the Fender-designed pickup specification of this vintage-inspired Squier model.

Comfortable playing feel

A slim C-shaped maple neck gives the Classic Vibe Bass VI a comfortable profile, paired with an Indian laurel fingerboard. Its 9.5" radius and narrow-tall frets provide a familiar playing surface, while while block inlays give a vintage-style look. The neck features a tinted gloss urethane finish, bringing a slick old-school appearance to a player-friendly specification inspired by the distinctive original Bass VI instruments.

Expressive vintage-style hardware

A six-saddle vintage-style bridge with non-locking floating vibrato gives this Bass VI access to expressive pitch effects while supporting solid string stability. Vintage-style tuning machines continue the vintage-inspired specification, while the Oxblood body finish is paired with a matching headstock for a distinctive appearance. Gold hardware, a four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and white pearloid inlays add further visual character. Alongside its 1960s-inspired headstock markings and vintage-tint neck finish, these appointments reinforce the retro styling of this Fender-designed Classic Vibe instrument.
