Unless it's a Fender Bass VI, in which case it is tuned like a guitar.


One of my friends here at work sold his Fender bass VI in order to fund purchase of his wife's engagement ring. They are still happily married, but he admitted to me that he wishes he still had that bass VI. Wouldn't trade his wife for it - but part of what he sees when he sees her engagement ring is his old bass VI!

My next electrified stringed instrument purchase will probably be one of the following:

Some type of baritone guitar. (maybe DIY turn my old Peavey Milestone into this with a Warmoth neck)
A 5-string bass, maybe fretless.
