6-string Electric Bass with Alder Body, Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 3 Single-coil Pickups – Fiesta Red
Get Vintage with a Vintera
Snatch your piece of Fender history with the Vintera II ’60s Bass VI. This model joins the Vintera family for the first time ever, giving you a shot at one of Fender’s more distinguished bass guitar models ever produced. Built with stylings inspired by the original models from the ’60s, this re-creation promises vintage tone merged with modern performance. Its body flaunts a resonant piece of alder married to a maple neck that’s capped with a rosewood fingerboard, giving you an all-access pass to rich chords, bass lines, solos, or phrasings. This out-of-the-box instrument is the perfect choice for those wanting to test their meddle or open up new worlds of musical expression! Not only does its exterior represent the epitome of “classy vintage style,” but its trio of single-coils speaks with the timeless charm of ’60s Fender tone.
Expertly chosen tonewoods bring out the low end
We were ecstatic when we got our first glimpse of the Fender Vintera II ’60s Bass VI. Since it first came to life in the 1960s, this bass was resurrected by Fender for other reissues, but the Vintera II version glows with renewed classic style and modern performance! For the body, Fender chose a classic bass tonewood of alder for supreme resonance and vibrational transfer. Additionally, a neck of maple with a mid-’60s “C” carve offers players a comfortable grip all along its 30-inch scale length. A slab rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25-inch radius completes the scene for a 6-string bass guitar that’s as enjoyable to look at as it is to play.
It’s not a guitar, it’s a Fender Bass VI!
What makes this instrument so unique? Apart from having a 30-inch scale length and six bass strings, the Fender Vintera II ’60s Bass VI also offers players a vintage-style floating tremolo! That means you can take this bass into big-bend territory, opening up a whole new world of musical fusion in the bass frequency realm. Other features like vintage-style tuning machines, vintage-tall frets, and an eye-catching finish catapult the looks and performance of this model through the roof.
Rockin’ with three vintage-style pickups
After settling on the specs for the bass’s body, Fender had one question left to answer: what kind of single-coils would best translate the voice of the Fender Vintera II ’60s Bass VI into electric glory? They ultimately settled on a trio of vintage-style Bass VI single-coils to capture tones reminiscent of the instrument’s first breaths of life back in the ’60s. Here, you’ll find sweet and sparkling — not to mention warm and woody — tones, completing this Fender with a time-honored sound that never goes out of style. On the pickguard, you’ll also notice three pickup on/off switches plus a low-cut switch. Suffice it to say, the Fender Vintera II ’60s Bass VI was made for vintage instrument lovers, Fender aficionados, and experimental musicians of all stripes!
