Product description
The Classic Vibe Bass VI is a faithful tribute to the secret weapon of producers and adventurous players that have dared to explore it since its original production from 1961 to 1975. Tuned an octave lower than a guitar and featuring a vintage-style tremolo, the Bass VI is the perfect companion to accompany any guitar or bass player into uncharted territory. Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a floating bridge with barrel saddles for solid string stability. This throwback Squier model also features 1960s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had fun with mine, and now that Squier is putting proper, good-quality strings on them, they're definitely a lot more playable out of the box.
However, I've found that some of the guitars from this series can be hit or miss. I bought three, and two of them had some irreparable setup issue that I couldn't fix at home. It seems like the ones with this Jazzmaster-style tremolo system are especially sketchy. Mine felt fine at first but I discovered a high fret that was preventing it from being fully playable all the way up the neck.
In short, worth a try, but make sure yours is 100% playable before you commit. Amazon will take a return, so don't be afraid to do so if your guitar isn't easily playable.
The neck is not set straight, the strings don't line up over the frets correctly and the low E string isn't even on the fret board over the 12th fret. Very disappointing. There are some other minor defects (the fret cut into my hands when playing, there is glue and staining issues on the fret board too). The first guitar didn't make it due to shipping damage, second guitar didn't pass quality control. Hopefully the third one does the trick. This is my first online guitar buying experience. It might be my last

Amazon sent me a damaged Bass VI, at first. It had a deep gauge at the top of the headstock, about the size of a large flat-head screwdriver. It was deep enough to penetrate the finish, gauging into the wood.
Amazon sent me a replacement before I had even returned the damaged one.
A second negative is again aimed at Amazon, and that is that they do not package guitars for shipment very well. They ship in the same boxes that they receive from the factories. Asian cardboard is notoriously flimsy. Both the damaged guitar, and its replacement, arrived in boxes that were damaged, and torn open, in places, during shipping.
I will say that I don't believe that Amazon was at fault in shipping me the damaged guitar: although I stated that the box was damaged, the torn open portion was NOT anywhere near the headstock, but near the bottom. This tells me that the guitar was damaged at the factory, in Indonesia, and shipped out, anyhow.
The replacement was undamaged, although the shipping box was also torn open, near the bottom.
I have purchased guitars from other online sellers- they typically place the boxes I've described, above, inside larger, sturdier boxes for shipping. I've never received damaged guitars from other retailers (zZounds is excellent!); this is the 3rd damaged guitar I've received from Amazon.
As for the guitar, I love it! And yes, I refer to it as a guitar, although it is technically a 6-string bass guitar. It's one octave lower than a standard guitar, but plays just like a standard guitar, same chord shapes, etc.. It has thicker strings, which require specific replacement, but if you've already got calluses, there's no issue there.
I have to talk myself into putting it down, after playing for over an hour. It really sounds funky, thick and low, and is fun to play.
I also own an ESP Baritone guitar, which is also tuned lower than a standard guitar, but not a whole octave. It's nice, but not fun: it lacks funkiness. The Bass VI is funky.
I read some negative reviews, mostly regarding construction, but I was not wary enough to stay away. Glad I didn't.
If you order one, inspect it immediately, and closely. But you may well end up with a cool Bass VI, and love it, too.
If you get one with issues, get Amazon to replace it, immediately. They're good about that.
I think they only order about 20 at a time, from Fender. They were out for awhile until just before Christmas. That being the case, they might not have a replacement for you, but issue a refund. If that happens, go over to zZounds site, order from them. Same price. Better interest-free financing, too (Amazon: 5 months, zZounds: 12 months interest-free!)

The combo of super-smooth strings and 6 strings....it's really something. I'm still dialing down the action to as low as possible, but it's already crazy fun compared to my other basses, which also have good strings.
The 6 strings let you run lines which seem out of the question. It makes many tones. I thought cowboy chords would be meh.....oh no. They sound quite fresh, and even up there....no stretch for normal hands.
It would be the last bass I sell....or that's my thinking right now anyway ;)
