Embrace a fusion of vintage allure and modern playability with the Fender Custom Shop Limited-edition Bass VI Journeyman Relic 6-string Bass Guitar. This unique instrument blurs the lines between bass and guitar, offering a 30-inch scale length with E-E tuning, one octave below a standard guitar. Its 2-piece select alder body is complemented by three Fender Custom Shop ’62 Jaguar pickups, delivering a spectrum of tones from classic thump to a more cutting, treble-focused sound when you engage the “strangle” switch.

The Bass VI Journeyman Relic boasts a quarter-sawn maple neck with a ’60s Style Oval “C” profile, providing a comfortable grip familiar to both bassists and guitarists. The flat-lam rosewood fingerboard features 21 vintage-tall frets set in a modern 9.5-inch radius, ensuring smooth navigation across its expansive range. This combination of features allows the Bass VI to be a versatile tool in any musician's arsenal, perfect for both traditional bass roles and more experimental sonic explorations.

Adding to its charm, the Bass VI includes period-correct features such as a flip-up mute system and Jaguar/Jazzmaster-style floating tremolo—a rarity in bass guitars—that injects a touch of shimmer into your playing. The nitrocellulose Journeyman Relic finish gives it a well-loved, worn-in feel right out of the box, inviting players to create new musical stories with this storied instrument.
