General

Is it a guitar or a bass guitar? Well, it's the Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI. It's actually somewhere in between both instruments because although it's tuned the same way as a guitar, it's at an octave lower. This attractively-priced model is based on Fender's original that was produced between 1961 and 1975. Authentic design details include the vintage tint on the back of the neck, the nickel-plated hardware and the logos on the headstock.

Classic Vibe Bass VI: a musical adventure

With a scale length of 30 inches, a C profile neck, a 9.5-inch fretboard radius and narrow, tall frets, the Bass VI is comfortable to play for both guitarists and bassists. Thanks to a slide switch for each of the three Fender Designed Alnico single-coil pickups, another one for the bass cut, and volume and tone controls, the Bass VI gives you a wide variety of tones to play with. With so many options to choose from, Squier's Bass VI is a model that'll take you on a musical adventure.

I don’t know if this was Bax’s quality control or not, but I bought this guitar before and it came with so many quality control issues (broken and badly cut nut, many deep scratches on the black finish, scratches on the hardware, electronic weirdness) that I eventually sold it. However it is very unique and I very much missed it, and so bought it again, already expecting the same quality, but the one I got from Bax is absolutely faultless—on par with a Japanese or American made instrument. Well cut nut, perfect finish, lush sound and no glitching. I’m in love! In short, don’t just expect an Indonesian built instrument to suck: shop around until you get a retailer that honours your hard earned money. Highly recommended for The Cure cleans or distorted baritone madness.

La Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar Bass VI est le seul instrument du genre au catalogue Fender accessible sans devoir casser sa tirelire pour passer commande au Custom Shop. La principale raison qui a orienté mon choix est la palette sonore de la Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar Bass VI qui en fait un instrument versatile, rythmique ou soliste, d’une grande tessiture.
La Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar Bass VI est équipée de 3 micros (pickups) que l’on active séparément ou simultanément grâce à trois interrupteurs. On en obtient 7 timbres différents selon les différentes combinaisons possibles. Il y a un quatrième interrupteur (strangle switch) pour couper les basses fréquences, qui permet d’accéder à autant de sonorités supplémentaires différentes mais qui offre surtout une meilleure définition des notes jouées dans le registre grave. La palette sonore s’enrichit encore grâce au potard de tonalité (tone control).
La Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar Bass VI s’accorde comme une guitare EADGBE à l’octave inférieure. En son clair, c’est une guitare avec des sonorités de basse. En son saturé, c’est une basse avec des performances de guitare, capable de produire par exemple toutes les harmoniques artificielles ou des harmoniques sifflantes grâce à la barre de vibrato. La Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar Bass VI supporte de baisser l’accordage (drop tuning, low tuning) tout en conservant une bonne définition des notes graves, contrairement aux guitares baryton et guitares 7-8 cordes avec lesquelles ça devient rapidement la bouillie.
La Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar Bass VI présente un profil offset qui lui confère un très bon équilibre. Son manche est confortable. La barre de vibrato reste bien en place sans tomber. Son utilisation parcimonieuse ne désaccorde pas l’instrument. Je n’éprouve pas le besoin de lui imposer les modifications conseillées sur d’autres instruments de la gamme Squier pour en améliorer la stabilité de l’accordage telles que remplacer les mécaniques (tuners) ou changer le chevalet (bridge) et le vibrato.
Enfin, la Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar Bass VI est un instrument de belle facture et de belle finition.

La guitare est très correcte. La lutherie ne présente rien d'anormal. Niveau sonorité c'est intéressant pour explorer de nouvelles choses. Il y a plusieurs types de combinaisons de micros, c'est à vous d'explorer. Les cordes montées dessus sont à changer par contre. Le tirant gagne à être supérieur pour gagner en précision et afin d'éradiquer la frise.
