Highlights
THREE CUSTOM JAGUAR SINGLE-COIL PICKUPS
Jaguar single-coil pickups are widely renowned for their clear, clean sound.
BOUND ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD
The Vintage Modified Bass VI includes the authentic mid-’60s touch of a rosewood fingerboard with elegant white binding.
MODERN NECK WITH "C"-SHAPED PROFILE
This instrument features a modern neck designed for comfort and performance, with a contemporary "C"-shaped profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) and a smooth back finish—ideal for those who play with the thumb on the back or side of the neck.
STYLISH WHITE PEARLOID BLOCK INLAYS
Sophisticated white pearloid block inlays add a touch of class to this model, making it easier to navigate the fingerboard.
FOUR TWO-POSITION SLIDER SWITCHES
The Vintage Modified Bass VI bears four two-position slider switches—an on/off switch for each pickup and one bass cut "strangle" tone circuit switch—for a wealth of tonal variations.
VINTAGE-STYLE BRIDGE AND NON-LOCKING FLOATING VIBRATO WITH VINTAGE-STYLE TREMOLO ARM
Evoking the great guitars of the past, this model features a vintage-style bridge and non-locking floating vibrato with a vintage-style tremolo arm for authentic design and performance.
