Description

Played by everyone from John Lennon to Robert Smith to Wes Montgomery, the Bass VI is a unique instrument that you've likely heard whether you know it or not. The Bass VI has a bit of a split personality. It is perhaps best described as an elaborate cross between a Jazz Bass and a Jaguar guitar, but truly exists in a world of its own. It's very easy to get lost in the sultry tones of this instrument. The body was refinished some time in the '70s, but it retains a classic sunburst look; and with that kind of age, it feels acceptionally broken in. The bridge pickup was rewound in-house and the ground connections were re-flowed. Cosmetically, it has some wear along the edges and neck, but largely remains in great condition.

Includes red-lined vintage hard shell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
