Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI Tone
This model features Fender-Designed Alnico single-coil pickups for authentic Fender tone. You'll get a warm, round, and clear sound with this beast, which pairs well with a variety of amplifiers. Plug it into an overdrive and you'll widen the palate of tones even further with every flip of the switch.
Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI Feel
The C -shaped neck profile is very player-friendly and sports a rather slim and 9.5 -radius fingerboard. The frets are narrow-tall, which is good when playing on the much thicker lower-end strings. We had no issues with intonation with liberal use of the floating bridge. Lastly, the Indian Laurel fingerboard features white binding adding to the feel and look of this great guitar!
Why We Like It
The Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI is just a cool instrument that works incredibly well in a variety of applications. Its a guitar packed with versatility, with a ton of style and dare we say, classic vibes! The 3-tone Sunburst and Black finishes always look great on these guitars, adding to the impressive value of this guitar!
You Might Also Consider
If a straight-up guitar is more what you're after, but still desire the body of the Bass VI, Squier offers the Classic Vibe ‘70s Jaguar! This model has tons of retro style and produces incredible tone courtesy of its dual Fender-Designed alnico single coil pickups. Small hands will appreciate the short 24” scale length and slim, comfortable “C” shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets.
