Fender VI Kit

[dingobass]

Did someone say FENDER VI?!!!!!

Yes please.

I shall now gently twist Adam's arm until he relents and orders a whole bunch of VI's.....

[crampstastic]

Yes Please! I'll buy one.

I haven't tried the Squier a I'm pretty sure it would be a decent weapon but I'd b hard pressed to do a valid comparison because I let the original go in about 1976.

Maybe the desire for a kit now is lust for a love long lost but having said that I would buy a VI kit in a heartbeat

I would encourage every guitarist to have one in their arsenal, and for a bassist it's a must have.

I can source the specs of mine if Adam needs them.

Specs from the Squier site

The only issue I can anticipate is maybe sourcing inexpensive strings. I use D'Addario sets specifically made for a Fender VI and I think La Bella make a set.

Mine was originally a burst finish but the original owner had sanded it back to natural timber but still with the tort pickguard, then around 1974 I painted it black and put a white pickguard on it.

For strings I always used the genuine Fender sets and to be honest don't know if there were options back then.

As a player the thing to remember it is a bass and should be played as one with an extended scale so Vai et al need not apply.

Now, when are the kits coming on line

I'd be keen to buid a IV kit as its axe I don't have. sure the factory can sort it out
