This is something that's been bugging me forever. If you tune the Bass VI to baritone (which, correct me if I'm wrong, is what's intended for it) say, B standard or A standard, should it run through a bass amp or a guitar amp?

The Fender Bass VI is a six string bass. Notice the word "Bass" in the name, therefore use a bass amp. A 70's silverface Bassman 10 would be absolutely perfect. As for a modern amp Fender's Bronco 40 would be an excellent choice. 8)

The word "bass" in the name does not change the fact that it is a baritone guitar...

It is an electric bass guitar, and not an electric baritone guitar . Fender Says So And That's A Fact, Jack! :lol:

I believe the VI needs to be mated with a bass amp.

Or you could pull a Chris Squire or John Paul Jones and run both. It is something I've pondered myself.
