    That looks great. These are terrific basses. I think there's something about the 1963 P that just nails it, curved Brazilian board and those great pups. I still use mine on just about everything and it just does the job. Good luck with the sale.

    Just a quick chime in... The Bass VI low E is actually the same pitch as a standard electric bass, so the E,A,D,G are pitched as a bass guitar - then it adds the B and top E strings. So is strung in the same way as a guitar but obviously lower in pitch. I believe the idea of these was to aid guitarists in playing bass parts, but strictly speaking they are not the same as the baritone guitar which may be more suitable for you? They are tuned to a C just below the normal guitar pitches so work well when strummed. I have three vintage Fender VI's at the moment, and they are great instruments, they can really add something. The bass part can be played on them and then any soloing on the top strings is like playing a guitar (but more mournful sounding - think high range of tenor sax). Anyway, these are very good basses indeed and it's a very fair price. Good luck with the sale.

    Surprised this is still here...these late 70s heavy basses with Dimarzio pups are truly great funk machines. In fact the Dimarzio replacement thing was all the rage back in the day. Finish looks very cool too... GLWTS

    Lovely! You don't see may of these about in this condition. Someone's going to be very happy with this! A proper time-machine! GLWTS

    Nice looking bass. Also a very nice chap! This one shouldn’t be around long at this price!

    I completely agree with this...

    This is a fabulous VI, an absolute gem. I've actually had the pleasure of playing this one myself, and if I didn't have two already I would be buying it. I doubt there is a cleaner one on the market, it plays great too. Good luck with the sale Si.

    Pick up looks good to me. I have a 1960 jazz and a 1961 precision that look the same and they are original winds. Great basses these stack knob 1960s. Mighty rare too, especially at this sort of price these days!! great looking bass!

    Terrible business. Make sure you contact all the remaining Denmark Street shops - Wunjo and No Tom in particular. Also the Bass Gallery in Camden and the boutique in Shoreditch. These are so unusual I can't see them being able to pass it on.
