Description

It’s always a treat to see a Bass VI come through the doors at Carter Vintage—especially one finished in classic Olympic White. Long a studio staple, particularly in Nashville, these instruments are known for their unique ability to add depth and weight to upright bass tracks, while also finding a place in a wide range of modern styles. This example has been well cared for, with a refret, new nut, fresh setup, and cleaned electronics. It’s an incredibly fun and inspiring instrument that would be a great addition to any collection or studio setup. Includes the original hardshell case.
