[oinkbanana]

I've been longing for a 30" scale guitar. Bass VI
was pretty set getting a Schecter Ultra VI, but just now found out about the newer Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI







talk me into something. or alternatives.

Looks like the Schecter has more options regarding the pickups, but if you're a vibrato freak I say go for the Pawn Shop.

Therels also this guy, eastwood sidejack bass iv, I have one and its little neck heavy but sounds good and plays well. Here is a vid of mine.

gonna go with the fender!

now to figure out a B to b string set that's long enough.

Well that was fast. What made you choose the Fender over the Schecter?

Why the JM pickup why? don't people know huffing glue is bad for you? Don't people know putting a JM pickup in a Bass VI is dumb?

It's actually a humbucker in a JM cover.

It's actually a humbucker in a JM cover.

Even so that makes it hard to replace, and if it is just for show then they lost another point.

I still want one though...

the bolt on neck & MIM \
rib & forearm contour
doesn't hurt that stores actually have it in stock to buy either.

You might also consider perhaps Gretsch G5265 Jet Baritone (not really a baritone but a bass vi), comes with bigsby and mini humbuggers. And not 'spensive. I rock myself one.

But if You consider Gretsch, believe me You want try it out first in the local shop - the quality control hasn't been much to brag about, two out of four instruments haven't met the expectations of even this price tag. You want to find a good one. Aen for example used to have a crap unit.
