Seller's description

We have received a used Fender Japan BASS VI 3TS in stock. The BASS VI is known for having been used by John Lennon and George Harrison of The Beatles to record bass parts. It is a distinctive model that occupies a unique position, different from both guitars and basses. Based on its serial number, this Fender Japan model was manufactured around 1991–1992. It features a 30-inch scale and six strings, tuned to EADGBE. This allows for a wide range of expression—from standard bass playing to chord work and melodic lines. Another appealing feature is its clear, three-dimensional sound produced by three single-coil pickups. The controls include a Master Volume knob, a Tone knob, independent ON/OFF switches for each pickup, and a Strangle Switch, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of sound shaping options. Regarding its condition, the truss rod functions properly. There is some paint peeling visible on the right side when viewed from the front of the neck pocket, and there is a linear scratch approximately 4.5 cm long on the lower part of the body back. Additionally, the parts show some discoloration due to age, but there is no damage that affects playability, and considering its age, it remains in good condition. Condition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use Serial Number: L021904 Year of Manufacture: 1991–1992 Country of Manufacture: Japan Case: Soft case Accessories: Tremolo arm Weight: 4.38 kg Truss Rod: No issues Fret Wear: No issues Nut width: 39.7 mm Neck thickness near the 1st fret: 20.7 mm Neck thickness near the 12th fret: 24.7 mm Scale: 762 mm (30") Radius: 184 mm (7.25") Repairs and Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment * As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here. Please be aware of this in advance. * Any listed measurements for the truss rod, remainin
