Talk:Fender Bass VI

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

its range was limited

which is just plain wrong. My Fender VI (MIJ 2005) has 21 frets for a range of more than three octaves E-C#, almost four octaves in fact and a semitone larger than many guitars. My 1960s Guild also has 21 frets but only four strings for a range of exactly three octaves E-E. The relatively large range of the original Fender VI was one of its advantages when compared to other basses of its time. Drop heads to take the E string down to a D, and 5-string basses with a B string below the E string of the classic P bass, both came much later. Andrewa 03:56, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Rotate that picture. not needed, but it would be nice.

[edit] Jet Harris

I removed this from the article:

" [NB: This is DEFINITELY incorrect - Jet used the Jaguar tuned down a tone on "Diamonds" and probably on "Scarlett O'Hara" - but "Main Title Theme" and "Besame Mucho" were CERTAINLY played on a Fender Bass VI - trust me.]"

If the person who added it is correct and a source can be found, incorporate it back in an encyclopedic manner. --Varco 00:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
