When you play this bass you're in good company with Steve Bailey himself, a player's player and instructional author with a diverse and stellar list of performing and recording credits that includes Dizzy Gillespie, the Rippingtons and Jethro Tull. The fretted version of the Fender® Steve Bailey Jazz Bass® VI is a phenomenal vehicle for self-expression that offers you the opportunity to explore a virtually limitless tonal palette in the quest to define your own voice on the instrument. From silky singing cello-like tones to the thundering bottom end that only a beautifully executed low "B" string can produce, this instrument is the finest example of the marriage of art and engineering. Features include a select alder body, a quartersawn maple neck with an asymmetrical profile, a 9.5" to 14" compound-radius two-octave ebony fingerboard, custom Fender® pickups, 18-volt active electronics, an onboard mute switch, onboard active EQ, a heavy-duty fully adjustable Fender® locking bridge and Bailey's initials on the back of the headstock. Heavy-duty ultra gig bag included.
