An Icon of the Sixties Reimagined in the Vintera III Series

Inspired by the model launched in the early 60s, the Vintera III Early '60s Bass VI captures the spirit of Fender offsets with faithful craftsmanship and vintage-style electronics. It belongs to the Vintera III range, known for its meticulous vintage recreations, featuring the Bass VI silhouette, toggle switches, and floating vibrato.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Ideal for guitarists seeking a lower register without losing their familiar feel and for bassists wanting to expand their harmonic palette. Tuned one octave below a standard guitar, it excels in surf, indie, ambient, post-punk, rock, and film music. Its 30" / 762 mm neck and vintage radius suit intermediate to expert levels while remaining accessible to determined beginners.

Sound

The alder/maple/rosewood combination delivers attack, clarity, and tight lows. The three early 60's single-coil pickups provide a rich spectrum from deep growl to crisp articulation. The three On/Off switches allow pickup layering, while the Low Cut switch brightens the low end for punchy rhythms or striking arpeggios. The vintage floating tremolo, aided by its lock, enables expressive vibrato without sacrificing tuning stability, and the Bass VI mute adds the typical percussive aesthetic.

Recommended Compatible Accessories
