Hi there,I am selling my 'collection' of four original Fender VI bass guitars (four Fender VI basses on sale separately : please note also the other sales!). No need to explain what exactly is a Fender VI as your are all experts in the field I guess. For all the others, here is some basic information :I have collected them over the past years and each of them has its 'history', and I am only selling them for health and financial reasons.Unless otherwise stated they are all original, and each of them has its 'special features' : custom color, year of production,...After having tried to sell them together in a single sale, which was a true challenge I have to admit, I am selling them separately this time.Please remind that « due to Fender’s modular production methods and often non-sequential serial numbering (usually overlapping two to four years from the early days of Fender to the mid-1980s), dating by serial number is not always precisely definitive ». So the LPB bass VI you will find among these sales has a serial number which seems to indicate 1965 as year of production but it is without any doubt a pre-CBS bass from 1963-64.You may also know that « given the modular nature of Fender production techniques, an individual neck may have been produced in a given year, then stored for a period of time before being paired with a body to create a complete guitar, perhaps, for example, in the following year ». So don't be surprised to see a CAR bass VI with a 1962 neck and a 1964 serial number !Please note that I exchanged the pick guards of the CAR and the LPB basses. In fact, the pick guard of the CAR bass had very slightly yellowed (normal given its age), and I found that this was less perceptible on the LPB « background » than on the CAR. But this is a completely subjective appreciation and you can feel free to re-exchange them again if you are willing to buy both of them !Each bass will be packed in a hard case and send with FedEX, UPS or DHL, as you prefer.More pictures on request !So here we go !In this listing, you are bidding on a 1962-64 Candy Apple Red (pre-CBS) bass VI.Amazing bass VI in Candy Apple Red custom color with matching headstock. Excellent condition in spite of the various 'dings' you will discover on the pictures.
