@AHintOfReality E A D G B E on the Bass VI 30" scale length, 026w 035w 044w 056w 075w 095w so it's like a shortscale bass, think Mustang Bass or Guild Starfire Bass, Gibson EB series and so on.
@augusrockhouse23 the fender Bass 6 is legitimately a baritone guitar, since the scale is so much shorter than a standard bass and it doesn't use bass pickups
So its a build. I have to say sweet. I been thinking of doing the same and fingerpicking on it is exactly how I wanted to play it and your brought the sound to me!
A *real* Fender VI is a true bass guitar designed to be tuned E-A-D-G-B-E -- an octave lower than standard spanish tuning. I've had a couple and gave up on them. Best was a '63 w/ a slab fingerboard and clay dot markers that I let go waaay too cheap. Unlike so many of these sticks mine had no rattles or buzzes and played great all the way up. As soon as I get my time machine completed I'll go back and undo that deal!
Woot I love the fender bass vi. my favourite insrument.

you can get a bass 6 neck from warmoth and put it on a regular guitar but you'll have to make the neck pocket a little bigger to accomodate it

i like it, you don't have to insult this guy. I got to hear the bass, and he's enjoying himself. Try to spread smiles not frowns.

@augusrockhouse23 since it's being played on a Bass VI, technically it's not right to begin with anyhow!
