The Fender Bass VI debuted in 1961, a six-string bass tuned an octave below a standard guitar. It quickly became a favorite tool for both guitarists and bassists. The Fender Bass VI earned its place in rock and roll history being used by artists like The Beatles, Cream, The Cure and Red Hot Chili Peppers just to name a few.
