Fender VI bass

[NathanF123]

Hey guys, so I have always been in love with this bass but never played it. Today I finally did. I loved it, only problem is that it is 3,000 dollars. What do I have? About 600...I could sell my schecter hellraiser and raise enough money, but I want to hear some opinions about this bass!

You should look into the Link Removed, the exact same thing, except much more afordable (curiosly enough it costs $600)

It is a fine instrument, but in my opinion it lacks the character of a standard long scale bass, but still like it.

Peter Hook uses a Shergold wich is the same thing, six strings, guitar tuning, an octave lower, sound awesome.

+1 I have the Schecter and love it.

I don't know anywhere that has this guitar locally...so would I really even have to play it if I've already played the Fender VI? This guitar looks really sick and a lot cheaper. Also would I want to get the Fender VI bass strings for this? They felt really awesome.

Also what type of case would i have to use for it? What would fit? Links please

Fender Bass VI strings fit. Schecter also makes some very good strings for it. I use the Schecter strings. For cases, it is too long for a guitar case. I use bass cases, both hard cases and gig bags. It is a little small for them, but it works fine.

also check out the fender baritone jaguar--its similar to the bass VI although a slightly shorter scale length, a fixed bridge, and one less pickup.

otherwise USA custom has bass VI bodies and necks and you can build your own or have someone do it for you

Since I've played a fender VI would I even have to play this before I get it? Or could I just order it right now?
