Re: Let's see your BASS VI, people
That's exactly how/why I got one. This thread. It hung me by the ankles, picked up the pennies and bought a BassVI on my behalf.
Ruthless thread.

Re: Let's see your BASS VI, people
Month and a half since my last post in this thread and what have I bought in the mean time? Exactly:

Already had a few upgrades when I bought it (mustang bridge/ CIJ tailpiece), but probably gonna swap the bridge for a staytrem and the white pickguard for a tortoise one and maybe ditch the strangle switch and make it a series/ parallel one. But so far I'm one damn happy camper.

Re: Let's see your BASS VI, people
Here's my Bass VI (and fretless bass). Recently added the hardtail and swapped the knobs from the fretless. I also highly recommend the Staytrem bridge.
I'm thinking about switching the pickguard at some point, but I'm not sure what colour I'd want to go with

Re: Let's see your BASS VI, people
Gotta say, I'm not totally digging the Lollars in my VI right now. I had Quarter Pounder Duncan Jaguar pickups in my other VI and I like those better...big, deep, piano-like cleans that grind up nicely with dirt. The Lollars are too dull sounding and so low in output that I really need to change how everything is set up quite significantly. I might be looking to change them in the next couple of months when I can afford it.

Two steps forward, one step back. Just after this photo went to read her the guard, slipped with the drill and put a small crack in the guard *doh*


Plenty of noise, little discernible skill or talent

Not sure if I've posted this thing before. Definitely my favorite VI style I've played. Our old pal Magiclawnchair bought this from me once upon a time, and eventually I got it back!
