Guitar of the Day: 1962 Fender Bass VI Sunburst | Norman's Rare Guitars 

Thought you meant lemmy for a sec lol

Accurate.

Yeppers, Robert was bummed when he dropped and broke the VI, he had made so many songs with....I keep hoping somebody at Norm's will "attempt" to try Primary on a Precision someday.

That would be great but the DM was good on this.

I didn't expect it would be, celebrities can't reveal their account identity.

John Barry is another big 'shout,' LOL.

You really have a keen ear. That comment is very true

Spot on.

I was thinking exactly that. He should get one of these!

Sweet sounds

yes, but i can't remember a single track of the Beatles where you can actually hear it, none comes to my mind right away

@@pandorski35000 Helter Skelter is John playing bass on his Bass VI.

@@pandorski35000 almost all of the white album is the bass vi

@@pandorski35000 you can hear it on "While my guitar gently weeps"

@@pandorski35000 helter skelter, prob glass onion, long winding road

Hjnintendofan But George Harrison is lame.

finn shoaps George was a much better bass player than John

Joe Gordon It’s not about skill my friend, George Harrison is considerably more lame then Lennon any day.

breedlove0 John Lennon is a better musician, rock’n roller, singer, artist, etc then boring Hindu George.

finn shoaps Though your Chickenbacker 325 is cool as hell, I’d disagree. George is the coolest Beatle by a long shot. Many reasons including... He had the best style and fashion sense (also best facial hair) He was witty and charming, wooing girls left and right such as the best Beatles wives including Pattie and Olivia He was “quiet” which gave him an even more badass, cool quality He wrote some of the best Beatles songs He was caught between the big egos of John and Paul in which he blossomed in his solo career He did a massive amount of charity work as well as his famous Concert for Bangladesh, which included appearances by Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston and Eric Clapton which was to raise international awareness of, and fund relief for refugees from East Pakistan, following the Bangladesh Liberation War-related genocide He had the best post-Beatle career out of the Fab Four, also having the best solo album “All Things Must Pass” His guitar playing was badass and creative, especially his slide He had a week dedicated to him back in 2014 held by Conan who is a big fan of his His life was celebrated through the Concert for George in 2002, with his family and close friends playing his songs on stage Calling George lame is uncalled for. None of the Beatles are lame especially him.

Does yours have the muting plate with the felt strip?

@@misturchips It doesn't I'm afraid - was the muting strip an option on the Bass IV? I always thought it was a Jaguar thing.

🎊🎉🎂

Was it worth it? Do you still have it? Would you still recommend one?

Harley Benton makes a version for 200$. They also make a more metal oriented one that is black with humbuckers. I got the single coil one because I didn’t want to wait 6 or more months! I’m loving mine so far!!

Peter Green while in Fleetwood Mac used this kind of bass on some songs.

Robert Fair I’d love to know if anyone ever compared these to the Jag pickups on the later years.

And on the vídeo of Hey Jude too

If you watch get back, you see George and other members use it with the exception of Paul obviously. A notable moment would be them writing Maxwell’s Silver Hammer with George using it.

Witchita Lineman

@@bucketsfor2 Thanks ...brain cramp !!!

He borrowed it from Carol Kay.

Im a lefty so i get nothing

Peter Green uses a Fender VI to great effect on The Green Manalishi by Fleetwood Mac Live in Boston 1970
