Seller's description

A limited edition Fender Custom Shop release which we are quite excited about: the George Harrison 1967 Bass VI recreation in a Relic Bleached 3-Color Sunburst finish. George Harrison’s sunburst Fender® Bass VI became an essential voice at Abbey Road Studios, providing the melodic counterpoints and textural layers that shaped some of the most admired arrangements in popular music. The two-piece select alder body delivers resonant warmth and balanced midrange, with a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The Relic treatment in Bleached 3-Color Sunburst gives this bass the worn-in look and feel of an instrument that has seen years of regular studio and stage use. The neck is shaped to match the profile of Harrison’s Bass VI, featuring a bound 3A rosewood fingerboard and white pearloid block inlays. The 7.25” radius and 21 vintage frets provide the period-correct playing surface that rewards a lighter touch with expressive dynamics, making chord voicings and melodic runs feel effortless across the 30” scale length. This shorter scale produces inherently lower string tension, lending a supple, elastic feel that invites both bass lines and guitar-style phrasing. A bone nut ensures precise intonation and open-string sustain at the headstock end. Loaded with three period-correct Custom Shop Hand-Wound Jaguar pickups, the Harrison Bass VI captures the full harmonic spectrum of the instrument’s unique register. These pickups deliver articulate highs that cut through a dense mix, a growling midrange with natural compression, and defined low end that anchors without muddiness. Individual on/off slide switches for each pickup let you sculpt your signal path on the fly, from a single pickup’s vocal clarity to the full trio’s orchestral depth. The switch plate replicates the etchings Harrison made on his original to note his preferred settings. Other premium features include a 6-saddle vintage-style adjustable bridge with “floating” tremolo tailpiece and Bass VI mute, 4-ply brown
