The Story

Limited Bass VI Journeyman Relic 3-Tone Sunburst

When a Bass VI looks as cool as this one, you know it won't stick around long. This is a Custom Shop Bass VI with a 3-Tone Sunburst finish given a Journeyman Relic treatment. The Bass VI, if you're unfamiliar was a model introduced in 1961 as a six-string bass tuned E to E but an octave down and with a 30" scale length. It's super fun to have in your arsenal as a way to double basslines, throw a fuzz on and play power chords, or use it for a deeper melody line higher up on the fretboard. This one has a nice and dark rosewood fretboard inlaid in vintage clay dots, and we love the tasteful aging in the Journeyman Relic treatment.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Tremolo Arm, Paperwork
