The Fender VI Bass is one of the infamous instruments made popular in This is Spinal Tap. I just want to have it & do the scene from Spinal Tap between Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest) and Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner). (The lines might not be exact. Just typed them from memory.)
Nigel: This one is very special. Look... still has the old tagger on, never even played it.
Marty: You've never played...?
Nigel: Don't touch it!
Marty: Well, I wasn't going to touch it. I was only pointing at it.
Nigel: Well, don't point, even. It can never be played. Ever.
Marty: Don't point, ok. Can I have a look at it?
Nigel: No, no that's it. You've seen enough of that one.

Marty DiBergi: I don't hear anything.
Nigel Tufnel: Well you would though, if it were playing. 
I didn't know that was a Bass VI in the movie they were talking about - I always thought it was a Strat or Jazzmaster w/ matching headstock...gotta watch it again I suppose
