OutSpoon Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Up for sale is my Squire VM Bass VI. Olympic white with Rosewood fingerboard, tort pickguard and block inlays. Bought this last year on a whim as I was playing in a classic rock band. Still have the original cardboard box. :-) Great piece of kit and incredibly versatile. Makes a great sound as both a bass or guitar. Only played at home, just for fun, no scratches or scuffs, good as new. Whammy bar included, just not fitted at the mo. Selling as I need to fund another purchase! Currently fitted with straplocks but can put originals back on if required. Will post to UK - quote added to price.

Although it's called a six-string bass it has the feel of a baritone guitar without the extended neck. The strings aren't extra thick so it's a great transition from guitar. The original model of 1961-1975 has provided distinctively voiced low end for everyone from the Beatles to the Black Keys, Cream to the Cure, and many others. The Vintage Modified Bass VI delivers authentically vintage-style look and tone, with a few modern touches such as a comfortable "modern C" neck profile and 9.5" fingerboard radius (the originals were 7.25"), and three custom Jaguar single-coil pickups with notched "claw" shielding rings (reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup). Other features include the model's classic 30" scale (standard tuning one octave lower than a guitar), maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays, four two-position slider switches (on/off switch for each pickup and one bass-cut "strangle" tone circuit switch), tortoiseshell pickguard (three-ply white-black-white on Black model), two black plastic control knobs (master volume, master tone), and vintage-style six-saddle bridge with non-locking floating vibrato.[/size][/font][/color] [b]FEATURES[/b][list] [*]Basswood body [*]Gloss polyurethane body finish [*]Maple neck [*]Gloss polyurethane neck finish [*]Modern "C" shape neck [*]30" Scale [*]Rosewood fingerboard [*]21 Medium jumbo frets [*]Synthetic bone string nut [*]Pearloid block position inlays [*]4-Bolt Squier neck plate [*]Custom Jaguar Single-Coil bridge pickup with claw [*]Custom Jaguar Single-Coil reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup with claw [*]Custom Jaguar Single-Coil neck pickup with claw [*]Master Volume and Master Tone controls [*]3-On/Off slide switches (one for each pickup) [*]SSS pickup configuration [*]2-Position slide switch for bass-cut "Strangle" circuit [*]6-Saddle vintage-style bridge with non-locking floating vibrato [*]Chrome hardware finish [*]Vintage-style tuning machines [*]3-Ply white pickguard [*]Black plastic control knobs [*]NPS strings, .025 to .095 Tuned E to E (1 Octave Down) [*]White bound fingerboard with white pearloid block position inlays [/list] Edited September 19, 2015 by OutSpoon
OutSpoon Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 All the cool cats play a Fender VI - what are you waiting for! :-)
OutSpoon Posted August 23, 2015 Author Posted August 23, 2015 Sunday morning, just having a coffee - played a few chords on the VI and remembered how good it is. Still selling it though. ;-)
OutSpoon Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Some interest in the lovely VI but nothing definite yet... great chance to play some lovely chords and melodies without having to wrestle with a neck 50cm wide. :-) https://youtu.be/qblERL_-i1M Edited August 25, 2015 by OutSpoon
OutSpoon Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 Almost the weekend - why not treat yourself to a new bass AND a new guitar for less than 200 of your earth pounds? :-)
OutSpoon Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Any love for a poor little Squire Bass VI?
