It appears that John Entwistle had a Fender Bass VI in 1966.

I just checked a photo I have of the session at Trident - Paul on piano, the wind instruments section behind him, and George is playing his Les Paul. Not conclusive, but...

I didn't know about the six-string bass or the fact that a lot of surf bands used it. That explains that chunky bass sound on "Back in the USSR", "Honey Pie", and "Rocky Raccoon", White Album tracks that George played bass on, supposedly.

I remember seeing Glen Campbell playing on TV on his song "Galveston." He played it like a lead guitar just strung lower.
I don't know that much about modern 6-string basses, but I believe they are strung lower than conventional 4-string basses. One or both of the extra strings are notes lower than the lowest E. Whereas the Fender Bass VI, IIRC, was strung just like a guitar except an octave lower.

I always called those baritone guitars.
