Fender Custom Shop Bass VI Journeyman Relic - Purple Sparkle over Graffiti YellowStep into a world of sonic possibility with this exceptional Fender Custom Shop Bass VI. More than a bass and more than a baritone guitar, this unique 6-string instrument is a true sonic chameleon, perfectly blending the deep punch of a bass with the melodic potential of a guitar. Crafted with a classic two-piece alder body—the very tonewood foundation that defines so many iconic Fender sounds—it delivers a balanced resonance with crystal-clear highs and muscular lows. The maple neck and rich rosewood fingerboard, carved to a comfortable 60s style Oval "C" profile, feel instantly familiar, inviting both bassists and guitarists to explore its 30-inch short scale.The heart of this Bass VI's versatile tone lies in its trio of period-correct '62 Jaguar Neck/Bridge Flat Magnet Relic single-coil pickups. This powerful configuration provides a vast tonal palette, from classic surf-rock twang and deep, earthy bass lines to bright, chiming chords that cut through any mix. The iconic switching system lets you activate each pickup independently, offering a massive array of tonal combinations, including the classic 'strangle' switch (a low-cut filter) to thin out the sound for more defined lead work. This instrument doesn't just replicate history—it was used to write it, gracing the hands of legends like Robert Smith of The Cure, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and even members of The Beatles (George Harrison and John Lennon), showcasing its incredible versatility across genres from surf to post-punk to heavy rock.Finished in a dazzling, custom Purple Sparkle lacquer, masterfully applied over a Graffiti Yellow base coat, and treated with a Journeyman Relic finish, this Bass VI possesses the unmistakable look and feel of a well-loved, gently aged classic. The aging process gives it the vibe of a guitar that's been played on countless gigs but meticulously cared for, complete with authentic finish checking a
