Fender Squier Classic Vibe 6-String Bass VI, Black, Laurel Fingerboard

I am having to rethink how to approach playing this instrument. Really amazing. Fret work great. Needed a quick truss rod adjustment but otherwise perfect. So comfortable to play. Heavy (but not too heavy) and solid feel. Great sounding pickups. I have 14 guitars and 35 years of playing.

Amazing and beautiful instrument! I remember going with friends to a shop back in the 90s and trying out an older Fender model, falling in love with it, and knowing that I would probably never be able to afford to own one. This is just as great as I remembered that one, and a fraction of the price! Such fun to play and experiment with what it's unique sound profile can do. Absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to step slightly outside the box.

Super basse, au look vintage. La qualité Fender est là.... Elle sort un son génial....

Beautiful bass V1. Set up and intonation spot on, just needed quick tune up. Remarkable as these are renown for set up issues but this one absolutely perfect. Thank you mcm for a great purchase, Uber quick next day delivery and care and attention to detail.

New 2022 model. I love everything about this instrument - with one exception (more later). I've never played a bass with single-coil pickups. As a result, it doesn't have the deep P-Bass tones, but it sounds so springy, defined, and precise. I've always avoided instruments with "extra" strings. This is different. This is a bass and a guitar at the same time. It's like every 6-string guitar that's ever been, but one full octave lower, making it an actual bass. It's the same 4 string bass as all the others, but adds the 2 "missing" strings on the high end of a guitar. It has 3 single-coil pickups that can be switched into any configuration you can dream up. It has a cool bass-cut option that's fun to experiment with, and a whammy bar (on a bass!). I love that you can play full guitar chords on it. If fact, almost anything you can do on a guitar you can do here too, with a lot of pressure! It would be perfect, BUT... the intonation problem is real. The bridge, in my opinion, is not aligned to the instrument properly. It was installed straight across, perpendicular to the strings, when it should have been angled slightly, providing a slightly longer scale length on the low side. This would allow for proper intonation of both the low-E and the A strings (especially with lighter, lower-gauge strings). My solution was to order a wider aftermarket bridge ($100+, but easy enough that ANYONE can do it) designed specifically to fix this issue by allowing more room for adjusting the saddles. It's a perfect fix, but it's also a significant (and expensive) modification to have to do to a new instrument. It's great now, but it should have been this good out of the box.
