SquierClassic Vibe Bass VI Guitar - Black

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around Bass VI tuning—one octave beneath a standard guitar—this six-string Squier covers low-register lines while leaving room for chord work and higher melodic parts. Its 30-inch scale, maple neck and 9.5-inch Indian laurel fingerboard give guitarists a familiar route into the format. Three Fender-designed single-coils are individually switchable, so you can move from one pickup voice to layered combinations. The bass-cut switch takes away low frequencies when a more guitar-like response is wanted, and the floating vibrato adds controlled pitch movement.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Writing basslines, chords and upper-register melodies on one octave-down six-string instrument
- Shaping parts through individual pickup selection, blended pickup combinations and the bass-cut circuit
- Adding subtle pitch variation to sustained notes with the vintage-style floating vibrato
