If you are talking about the Fender VI, often mis-called the Bass VI, Fender marketed a set in the catalogue.

Otherwise, just buy a set of corresponding size bass strings and two required dimensional guitar ones of similar construction.

I agree with JSJH. If you are talking about Fender VI, you might as well try looking for a string for Bass VI. Look for Fender Brand VI Strings 5350 Roundwound. Or GHS custom shop specialty strings for Fender VI roundwound NPS.

You can try "Imperial Guitars" in NY. They have a website and they can get them made by LaBella in flats or roundwounds. I think about 40$ for the flats, which is a steal compared to the usual online places that sell them for an arm and a leg. Thats where I just got a set.

If your guitar looks like the sunburst pictured here then it is a Bass VI model:

Ernie Ball makes a 90-20 set for 6-string bass. They are designed for E-E tuning like your Bass VI (30'' scale length). I use the Ernie Ball 72-13 on my jaguar baritone custom (28,5'' scale length) tuned A-A and they sound great. It is more like playing a guitar with really heavy strings than playing a bass with thin light strings.

E-E tuning: Ernie Ball 2837 slinky baritone.
A-A tuning: Ernie Ball 2839 slinky baritone.

And for those of you who are thinking: "What about Ernie Ball 2838?" Well... It is made for 6 string basses and would kill your Bass VI or baritone guitar.
