Great video!, and their other comparisons videos are great too. I was heavily swayed toward a Bass VI - but I haven't enough fingers ;-)

quality video cheers PK, these guys are always entertaining and talented players, so this is similar to your Fender 6 Bass Guy ?

Back in the 1970's I had a series 2 Fender VI the one with the bass strangle switch and would love another ( big kit hint here guys :-) )

Here's a pic of it from an album cover that never made it to the shops

G'day Wokka,

I'll have to rescan that one and see if I can get it bigger, not sure how it will come out though it will probably pixelate badly.

Here's another pic of the bass, I got it from the now long gone Elliot's Pawn Shop near Central Station in Sydney for $180 in 1969 / 70 and the previous owner had sanded the sunburst back and given it a natural finish.

Later on I painted it black and put the white pick guard on it.

In this pic I am playing through a 100W Dan Armstrong amp with a single 18"JBL.

Sadly and rather stupidly I swapped it for a Telecaster Custom in about 1975, one of the biggest musical mistakes I ever made and regret it to this day

Here's a couple of samples of this bass in action

And with a heavy rock band Hydra recorded at EMI in about 1971, the bass amp was a 150W Lennard
