From the listing

Seller's description

A reissue of Fender’s distinctive 6-string bass, the BASS VI, which debuted in 1961. Featuring a 30-inch scale—shorter than a standard bass—it uses the same E-A-D-G-B-E string configuration as a guitar but is tuned one octave lower across all strings. While it offers a playing feel similar to a guitar, it possesses a unique character that allows it to cover the low-frequency range characteristic of a bass. It features traditional wood materials: an alder body, a maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. Each of the three pickups has its own ON/OFF switch, allowing for a wide variety of sounds depending on the combination. It also features a LOW CUT switch to cut low frequencies, enabling you to enjoy a sound that’s a cut above that of a standard bass. This reissue model inherits the character of the original 1960s design while featuring the meticulous craftsmanship unique to Japanese-made instruments. You can enjoy an original sound that transcends the boundaries of traditional guitar and bass. The nut has been replaced.
