All products by Fender Other Fretted Six String Electric Basses by Fender

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.
