Fender VI Kit

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.....

Yes Please! I'll buy one.

I feel a divorce coming on :D

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.

Bassguy, You rock. \m/

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
