Interesting thought - and I was worried that many or all would just want different colors. There've been a few of them (no offense) but I like this idea.

How about a modular bass?

Pick a body from column A
Pick a neck from column B
Pick tuners from column C
Pick Passive or Active in column D
Pick a body color from column E
Pick with or without inlays

Etc, etc, etc.
YES YES YES
 
I for one would be on that like stink! Good call.

Edit: With vintage-style tuners!!!

Reverse tuners naturally!

I always felt the re-issued were overpriced since it's not that hard to copy the specs. But they do tend to be nicer. They got it right that year and it never really got any better.

I already have a 62 P but a new J at an affordable price would be sweet.
 
A CV Bass VI would fill a constant void in the market.

Lots of us want a VI but there is no way to get a decent one under $500. I've owned a CV P & J, both excellent instruments in every way.....a VI of that quality with a $400-$500 street price would be a winner.

I'd break my 2 bass rule to have one of those.

My Ibanez 405 was only $450. One of the best playing/feeling basses I've ever played. Tone isn't all that great but that can be improved with better electronics.
 
I'm talking about a Fender Bass VI not a 6 string bass.

OK - I'm behind the curve on this one too. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Is that NOT a 6-string bass or am I missing a subtle nuance here?

When the 'I' comes behind the 'V' in Roman Numerals, (VI) that is a 6 - right?

'Cause if the 'I' comes in front, (IV) that makes it a 4 if I'm not mistaken - so I am confused.

This is worse than Chinese Algebra. I need a pill now.
