Seller's description

A true nod to one of Fender’s most adventurous vintage designs, this Fender Custom Shop 1966 Bass VI Relic HLE Gold captures the unmistakable look and feel of the mid-’60s original while delivering Custom Shop precision and playability. Finished in eye-catching HLE Gold with period-correct relic aging, this Bass VI bridges the worlds of guitar and bass with its extended range, signature offset body style, and unmistakable Fender attitude. From the chrome/nickel hardware to the vintage-style appointments, every detail reflects the spirit of a well-loved original that has seen decades of stages and studios. Built with an alder body and a comfortable oval “C” neck carve, this instrument feels immediately familiar in the hands while offering the unique tonal spectrum that made the Bass VI a cult favorite among players and producers alike. The 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard, vintage clay dots, and matching painted headcap reinforce the period authenticity, while the trio of single-coil pickups unlocks everything from deep, piano-like lows to chimey, surf-inspired textures and gritty baritone punch. This is a Custom Shop piece that stands out visually, historically, and sonically. Specs: Alder body; Bass VI offset body style; maple 60s style oval “C” neck; rosewood fingerboard; 7.25" fingerboard radius; 21 medium jumbo 6150 frets; bone nut; 1.700" nut width; 2.200" butt width;  shape measuring .830" at the 1st fret and .900" at the 12th fret; vintage clay dot inlays; large headstock with matching painted headcap; 4-bolt neck construction; vintage-style Fender logo tuning keys; RSD Jaguar bridge with Bass VI tremolo and arm; chrome/nickel hardware; black Jazz Bass knobs; parchment Bass VI pickguard. Nitro-cellulose lacquer Relic HLE Gold finish. Fender Custom Shop Bass VI black case. Weight: 8 lbs 9 oz. Electronics: Three Custom Shop ’62 Jaguar-style flat magnet single-coil pickups in the neck, middle, and bridge positions with traditional Bass VI switching.
