I'm really surprised fender never tried to get a Robert Smith signature Bass VI made. He's probably one of the most famous players of the Bass VI out there.

Nothing like a three piece band with one of these through a 4 x 10 bassman, a tele through a Deluxe reverb, and a Ringo size drum kit. Perfection.

Love the "house keeping" bit Pete! Cracked me up!

Every Day is better with a little Purple in it. 💜, Thanks Mr. Pete!

I have a bass vi and enjoy playing it. I remember seeing an old fender ad for them that said “the bass guitar for the lead guitar player” or something like that

I love the vibe of the outro jam! Great use of the looper!

100% killed it with that Outro Loop!

That moment when Squier nailed the purple from Pete’s Tele better than the Fender Road Worn did

Looks super dope especially with the matching headstock. I want one!

The last time you did a purple one, I remember asking you to do a matching headstock. THANK YOU!

This intro is the absolute best!

What a cool thing, love the concept and especially the color!

That house keeping clip is the silliest thing this quarter, and I'm here for it.

Wow, brings back memories of Jack Bruce and the Fender Bass VI he used with Cream! 💕

Love that outro jam Pete. Got the makings of a great song.

Wow! That’s a looker! So much cooler than the sunburst version I bought a few years ago.

Some years ago I had some Reverb bucks and bought a second hand squire bass vi from Chicago music exchange. One of the best instruments I own. Squire got this one right!

For those one man recording bands out there… like me… this, a drum track of some sort and a regular guitar is all you need. I play singer/songwriter Americana/indie music and man this would make things simple. I’d just play the rhythm guitar parts on this and save the regular guitar for lead/melody work, get a drum track of some sort and just call it a day. This is so versatile and cool. You could use it for regular bass parts, just strumming chords, some sick Ariel Posen/Joey landreth styled lead work and everything in between. What a bad ass instrument.

The world needs a Bass VI 12 string, with the big smurf hat headstock. A Fender/Squier VI XII? Sign me up.

Wow, the best sounds I ever heard on the andertones channel! Great playing Hr H!

Cool guitar. Now I really want one. The purple flake is outrageous.

A unique and very cool instrument.

CME are forecasting more of these by the end of March 2024. Which I hope means that Andertons are getting them too, since they tend to get the same FSR releases as CME.

I ordered this pretty much as soon as I saw it on your website

Damn it, i talked my bass player into buying a bass 6 like a month ago. The purple ones weren't listed. I want this!!!!

Nice review and cool guitar. Now we need you to play this with the Captn and go on a journey - intro or outro ... Gotta sneak in some Pete Chords while he's playing 🙃

always been fascinated by those... maybe i'll jump one day and take one, probably and good base to do some crazy funny mods also :D

I will have the bass in this color. WAY too cool

Purple Durple, Bassist, Bass 6... Congrats on great videos!

Starting to head in the right direction near the end - Try again with some New Order and Cure riffs…

The housekeeping made me laugh out loud. Pete is fried gold.

Fender 24-100 Gauge strings are our friends

The house keeping bit FTW!

I've got a shell pink version,but now have to have the purple one as well,

That is one big purple surf board with strings 😂❤… Pete is funnyAF 😂😂😂

The Pete Honore Gameshow series "It's Purple But Is It Any Good?"

Still waiting for that Player Series Purple Strat with Tortoise Pickguard, aged knobs and Ebony fingerboard maybe if Rosewood`s not a thing anymore. Maybe even locking tuners?

Great video

Great job as always! Awesome guitar. I especially like the way it sounds with the fuzz. Love that outro jam.

curious how this compares to a baritone and a standard bass... maybe a shootout between this and some baritones would be cool

the house kipping 😂😂😂😂

Ive got the white one , Love it !

@Cicibass. You should try this! Whole new world of tonal possibilities!😎

This is a Squire that I would buy!

nice prizes!

I wants it!!!!!!!!!! Effin LOVE that Danish Purple!

When the fuzz came on, I was like, "Now that's what's I'm talking about! That's what I want from this".

Pete made my day with the house keeping bit 😂

Do Andertons set em nice before sending them out.. I'm still learning all the setting up malarkey... Intonation would be great, as would be -, nice action, no buzzing pick up distance from strings.. And how about truss rod adjustment, straight neck or wonky in the correct way... Am I being too demanding??

How’s the intonation? Have they updated the bridge?

With the Deco and Petes playing it sounds linke this Leo Kottke thing "Little Snoozer" from 1990

Yo....I NEEEEEEEED a Bass VI!!!!!!!!!! That would go perfect with my Baritone Guitar!!!

Hi! Are these limited versions (the walnut bass vi specifically) exclusive to Andertons?

Didn't Jack Bruce play a 6 string Fender bass in the early Cream days?

What amp would be a good match for this guitar?

Sick

What’s the difference between Pink and Purple ? The grip ….

what effect are you using on the outro jam that gives you that modulation?

If you get one of these (and I did), the first thing to do is get the Fender 24-100 bass VI string set. The low E is dreadfully floppy with the set it ships with.

Question: So I’ve been looking for a 6 string bass to play some prog metal like Dream Theater on. Would this be a good bass for that? I really like that the neck is slim compared to a lot of regular 6 string bass guitars and was hoping this could be something that would work for what I’m wanting to do.

One thing i wanted to know is if you are going into a bass or guitar amp?

We need to get one of these in the hands of Andrew Baena!

Where have you found the purple one!?! 😍😍😍

Goodness Gracious That's one sexy instrument! I'm referring to the guitar, obviously.🙃😉

what kind of amp does one use with these? bass or guitar? either?

I want that.i want the one named 'me'.the purp fender is cool tho.oh I had to put on my special 420 glasses,so its a squire...still cool.it could be a purple mop handle and 1 string and still be cool.

Epic❤

Do purple guitars smell different ?

Are they available in left handed?

Buyers Tip: string this up with the LaBella Bass VI strings. They are the only ones that won’t flop on the low E. If unsure look it up.

The middle ground between a bass and a guitar is a baritone guitar. The Bass VI is a bass, despite you can produce vibey, low-tuned chording with it, among other things. Its 'plucky' nature makes it great for doubling basslines, but it is also perfectly serviceable as your only bass; just reduce the twang and use your fingers.

John Mayer.. so clean now!😂

I bought one. My buddy will let me watch him play it when I go to his house. I bought an SG bass so I had one at my house he wouldn’t swipe.

I need it right now. Take my money💥💥💥💳

cool but does it djent?

Mark Hoppus also uses this a lot

Does it djent ?? 🤘🤘🤘

Anyone wanting hear a Fender Bass VI should listen to the later Beatles sessions. With Paul on piano or acoustic guitar, John and George would alternate playing a Bass VI. John played one on Let It Be and George played one on Hey Jude. I'm sure there are other examples. What I am not sure of is if they played through a guitar amp or bass amp...

Danish Pete Purple and exclusive to Andertons... of course it is

Lefty version?

the house keeping joke is much appreciated 😂

Nice to find a review where the pickup combinations are explained. Like the colour, but l really like the blue Andertons have got!

Why cant I order a guitar from Antertons now while living in the US?

Nice housekeeping! 😂

Tbh the on/off per pickup is something that should be in all 3-pickup guitars. There's literally almost no extra cost and you get 2 extra tones from your instrument 🤷‍♂️

Hahahaha... the intro is classic!!!

So awesome…. One day….

Search for ´Hank the Knife and the Jets´ if you want to hear the proper use of the Bass VI.

It’s funny how the low A and E strings are just out of sync with the camera frame rate so it vibrates in slow motion lol

I’d actually prefer it if the headstock was the same finish as the rest of the neck and rear headstock

The pickup combinations should be 2^3 = 8. If you include the "tone" switch then the combinations are 2^4 = 16.

The Lowest strings on this guitar look so hilarious.

These look great. Too bad I can't buy them in my country. I'm sure you'll sell out quickly.

love pete hahahah

I had to take the bass strings off mine and make it a baritone. The bass strings were floppy and unbalanced. Much more playable as a baritone I find.

Good videos-p

Just a thought: wouldn’t it be possible to stick a slightly shorter neck on that, lighter strings and tune it up as a baritone? (Close as I can afford to a Castedosa.) That will stop my bassist shouting at me .....

Don’t do this to me! Don’t make the fact that purple is my favorite color into a temptation for me to get another Bass Six! Kidding.

Gotta be honest, I got an Andertons/CME exclusive purple Jazzmaster and it was so sadly done, neck pocket terribly cut, scrapes and crap all down the side of the fretboard, bridge that was lousy to adjust, some crummy alloy on the bridge/vibrato/tuners that responds poorly to skin oils. I put in a year out to get it and it was like, "what?" On the bright side, it actually sounds like a million bucks, which is the only reason I still have it, but the build quality was unforgivable and unexpected. I've had a lot of good experiences with Squier but I don't know what was up with this thing. On the contrary, got a Squier 70s CV P-Bass not long after that, also sight unseen, and it's damn near immaculate, best bass I've ever owned. This thing looks and sounds glorious, but, beware? No slight on Andertons or CME but I was annoyed that my Jazzmaster was allowed to be shipped.

Nice! Does a Bass VI sound better through a bass amp or guitar amp?
