Description
New for 2024, the Fender Custom Shop introduces the Bass VI DLX Closet Classic—a meticulously crafted tribute to Fender’s six-string basses from the 1960s. With DLX Closet Classic aging, this bass looks like a well-preserved 60-year-old instrument with moderate finish checking and lightly oxidized hardware.
A trio of Custom Shop ’62 Jaguar® pickups, vintage wiring and controls, along with classic finishes like Super Faded Aged Fiesta Red, Aged Firemist Silver and Aged Olympic White, the Bass VI evokes the best of this cult-fan-favorite.
Other premium features include 2-piece select alder body, quartersawn maple neck with ’60-style Oval “C” back-shape, flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard, 7.25″ radius, 21 medium vintage (47095) frets, 3-ply mint green pickguard, vintage-style “floating” tremolo and bridge, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, wing string tree with tall metal spacer, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
