Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI Black baritone guitar

General

Its 30-inch scale length and octave tuning allow the Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI (Black) to go deliciously deep. This electric baritone guitar is a reissue of a rarely seen Fender model from 1961: the Fender Bass Guitar, also known as the Bass VI. This guitar is equipped with a body that brings to mind that of the Jaguar, with Jazz Bass tone and volume knobs and a stylish black finish and tortoise pickguard.

The sound of the Pawn Shop Bass VI

The Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI has three powerful modern pickups. Firstly, there are the two Special Design Hot Jaguar Single Coils that produce a bright and high output. Then there's the JZHB humbucker bridge pickup, providing both clear, clean tones as well as the rougher, richer tonal tour-de-force. Additionally, this baritone model features a floating tremolo, maple C-shaped neck and rosewood fretboard.

Pawn Shop series guitars

Fender's Pawn Shop collection comprises a range of unusual guitars and bass guitars that were inspired by the striking, rare Fender products from the '60s and '70s. Some of these guitars actually saw the light of day but are truly a rare breed these days. Where it comes to sound and build quality, the Pawn Shop models are very much up to date and provide an interesting mixture of various Fender features.
