1972 (black) Bass VI with sound samples

Post by Fall reverb » Thu Nov 02, 2006 1:13 pm

Another gear-related message board recently had a thread about this gorgeous 1972 black Bass VI :

The guitar actually found a new owner last week, however the page where the guitar can be seen & heard (there are some great sound samples on the former owner's webpage) in action can be found here - http://www.timeelect.com/mk6.htm

Enjoy!  :)

Rich SOLD IT?!?
:o
that punk...
;)
wonder what he got for it...

i thought it had a USA CG body
maybe i'm thinking of a different VI with blocks&binding...

i know somebody had a NOS neck and mated it with a USA CG body
don't think THAT was Rich...
but for some reason...

I don't recall seeing that decal type before.  Is that real?

That's close to the same headstock decal, I believe.
the "custom body" or whatever decal thingy seems a bit too high though.

Well I can honestly say I want one of those now, those clips were giving me all kinds of wild musical ideas for a Fender Bass VI.

Why do so many threads end up being "What's with the headstock decal?" threads?

Oh, and that VI is gorgeous.  I need a computer that I can listen to it with!  :'(
