Squier Vintage Modified Bass VI, Olympic White Overview
Squier Vintage Modified Bass VI, Olympic White Product Overview by GAK
The Squier Vintage Modified Bass VI is a six-string bass guitar and a reissue of a long-vanished Fender classic of 1961-1975. This model retains the authentically vintage-style look and distinct tone loved by a number of renowned bands from The Beatles to the Cure. It has been adapted with a few subtle modern touches for contemporary playing comfort such as the "modern C" neck profile, 9.5" fingerboard radius plus three custom Jaguar single-coil pickups with notched "claw" shielding.
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, two black plastic control knobs (master volume, master tone), and vintage-style six-saddle bridge with non-locking floating vibrato. The Vintage Modified Bass VI is finished with a smart Olympic White finish and is a perfect addition to any Squier fananatic's collection.
