Playing the 6-string Fender Steve Bailey VI Fretless Bass puts you behind an electric bass backed by the success of Steve Bailey himself. Bailey is known as a player's player, an instructional author with an impressive list of performing and recording credits—including Dizzy Gillespie, the Rippingtons, and Jethro Tull.

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 bass. From silky singing cello-like tones to the thundering bottom end that only a beautifully executed low "B" string can produce, this Fender bass guitar is one of the finest examples of the marriage of art and engineering.

The fretless Fender J-Bass has a select alder body and a quartersawn maple neck with an asymmetrical profile with a 9.5" to 14" compound-radius 2-octave ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include custom Fender bass 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.

Fender includes a hardshell case with the Steve Bailey VI Fretless Bass.
