I know it’s a bit silly but sometimes I liken guitars to cars; being a bit of a car nut as well as a guitar nut, it’s easy to see why. I was looking at a surf green Danelectro baritone guitar the other day and it reminded me of a late 60’s Volkswagen type 3 station wagon; I don’t know why, it’s just what came into my head at the time. Using that criteria, I looked at this Fender Bass VI, and wow, there it was; that’s a ‘65 Ford Thunderbird in Patrician Green colour; one with the lot please! Now when it comes to playing this Bass VI, there really is a lot going on, from the four switches, its stunning looks, and to the vibrato unit. (what were they thinking there?) Add to that; a beautiful lake placid blue paint job, a killer-feeling neck and nicely set-up to boot! There are several different tones that you can pull from this fantastic instrument and they range from a sweet bottom-end, to a punchier mid-bottom-end and then all the different positions that you can use to get some treble into those tones, and the list goes on. Well apart from its killer looks and charm this one is a great guitar to play and verges the middle ground between guitar and bass. Tuned E - E , it was super easy for my small brain to go from guitar to this one. It comes in its original gig bag and it’s in super clean condition; can’t go wrong here! Can anyone think of any other examples where a guitar reminds you of a car?
