FENDER BASS VI – 1961…SOLD !!!

SERIAL NUMBER: 70155 NECK DATE: NONE Plays like a guitar, sounds like a bass. Ridiculously hip! Surfs up! Ok, accolades aside, a lot of ‘surf’ music was instrumental [and we are talking about a time before overdrives, choruses, wah wah’s etc] so instead you had to embellish the tune with reverb a, tremolo and a little finger power to […]
