So I saw the Fender VI post in the New Kit Idea forum category, and I thought about a thread I read on the Offset Guitars forum a ways back:
EB-0 to Bass VI (https://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=52521)
It got me thinking, "can't PBG just make little edits to their SGB-34 kit to make it a bass VI?"
Just replace the bridge holes with a Tune-o-matic bridge, and remove the tuner holes in the headstock so one could drill their own 6 holes for 6 mini bass tuners. Maybe replace the pickups with standard humbuckers, or something?
It'd be minimal effort, and you get a whole new product out of it. And as far as orders, Eastwood guitars did a Bass VI product in their custom project crowdfunding department here (https://eastwoodcustoms.com/discover/). The Bass VI is one of their most well-funded projects lately, and that's because the Bass VI market is vast, but typically silent until something big comes along, like the Squier Bass VI and the Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI models from 2013. Just something to consider, I suppose.
What are your thoughts on an SG Bass VI?
