This is the dream for me. After owning the Pawnshop VI for a little more than 4 years and playing a VI almost exclusively in band contexts since mid 2014, I feel going the aluminium route is the only upgrade option left. The vintage Bass VI sound just doesn't seem like it's worth the mulitple thousand dollar/euro investment (to me), but every time I see/hear guitarists or bassists play an aluminium instrument I think
'gotta have that sound someday'.
So yeah, been saving for a 30" all-aluminium EGC for some months now, hope to make the deposit later this year.
