(ARCHIVE) Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI FSR Shell Pink 2022
- Description
- Guitarchives
Squier Bass VI, limited run shell pink, made in Indonesia 2022. A year or so ago, supply chain issues meant getting your hands on a Bass VI was extremely tricky. That's eased up a bit now, and you can find them around the place. But, friends.... not in pink. This was part of a limited run made exclusively for the Japan market, and when I saw it pop up near-new over there, I figured I had to have it. It looks unreal: those slick sixties curves pop perfectly under a schmick spray of shell pink. They're an unusual instrument: by default tuned like a guitar, but an octave down, so you can do a whole bunch of interesting things with it. It's kind of a baritone guitar, kind of a bass. Add a foot thick filthy fuzz and you'll stop worrying about how to classify it and start enjoying wobbling the walls. Yes, it costs more than a new one. Yes, that's purely because of the unusual, vibrant colour. But, you didn't take up playing music to be a sensible sort of person with a boring looking guitar, did you?
