The basic design of the George Harrison Bass VI is based on the wood selection typical of Fender instruments and follows the specifications of the original. The Bass VI body, with its curved offset shape, is crafted from two pieces of solid alder, to which is bolted a maple neck featuring the oval C-profile typical of the 1960s. The fingerboard, crafted from fine AAA-grade rosewood with full-width binding, features 21 vintage-style frets, whilst classic perloid block inlays serve as position markers.
A look at the electronics of the Fender George Harrison Bass VI highlights the Bass VI’s unmistakable kinship with the Fender Jaguar. It features three Custom Shop hand-wound Flat Magnet Jaguar single-coil pickups with flat pole pieces, which utilise the classic Jaguar circuit. All three pickups can be switched on or off individually; in addition, the “Strangle” switch provides a bass cut when required, lending the sound of the George Harrison Bass VI extra clarity.
A particular highlight of the George Harrison 1967 Bass VI is undoubtedly its unique bridge design. The combination of a 6-saddle adjustable bridge with bass mute and ‘floating’ tremolo expands the sonic spectrum of typical bass sounds to include a number of interesting effects that can be used in particularly creative ways. The small control plate, which houses the three pick-up on/off switches, features accurate reproductions of the arrow markings George Harrison used to note his preferred settings. The hardware is rounded off by six vintage-style tuning machines bearing the Fender logo.
