NAD.... New Amp Day!

If my memory is correct, those types of guitars have a shorter scale-length than a Strat, pretty sure it's a 24.75 inch scale, but could be wrong.

It's a Bass VI Doc - 30" scale length.

And in black!!! I love mine, hope you dig it.

Yea I had looked at a new one and was told only the beige ones were available from Fender atm ( or so the shop said) and as I have a policy of burning anything that even resembles beige a paint job would have been needed. When this came up for 1/2 new price ( was missing the trem arm but a strat one fits if I ever want it) I couldnt refuse. It has a odd bunch of strings on it as the previous owner was looking for a dgent machine. Will get a new set of strings this week.


Doc, its a bass 6 bit longer than a strat

It's a Bass VI Doc - 30" scale length.

Doh....silly me.......*note to self, I must look more carefully at the pic of the guitar*.

Be still my thumping heart, that is exactly the same as my old Bass VI but for the age and the brand on the headstock.

I am sweating an a kit for this one becoming available so I can complete my tonal palate

Nice catch Deady

Thanks Dave. it was odd, I watch a couple of trading/sales groups on Facebook but usually when a guitar comes up that interests me they are in Melbourne or Sydney and pick up only, I couldn't believe this was 2 suburbs away. Oh and he threw in a Dunlop Crybaby Wah because he couldn't find the trem arm

Thats nothing I used to have to carry a full Marshall stack 5 miles up a mountain, fight the drop bears, play one song then be back home before 9pm, you tell that to the young people today and they won't believe you.

(apologies to Simon and Monty Python)

Luxury! When I were lad, I had t'carry Pearl Jam's entire rig undred Mile through snowstorm int middle of night to play desert concert in 50 degree 'eat W' only 1 arthritic roadie and do sound check before we set up else Eddie Vedder would play acoustic solo work til we saved t'rain forest. But you tell young folk that these days they don't believe a word!

Good score Deddie.

[Dedman]

got a trem arm today from local shop for $8 ;D. I asked the shop for set of strings and he said "You are one of 2 people I even know who owns one, so, no I don't have them" LOL Ordered 2 sets off Ebay today

"You are one of 2 people I even know who owns one, so, no I don't have them"

The other one is probably the chap you bought it from.

cheers, Mark.
