DorsetBlue Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 No sign of a lefty model, back to lusting after a Schecter Hellcat VI I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookys6stringbass Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Bloody hell Squire are coming out with some great stuff at the moment!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh87 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 There is a good chance i will be ordering one of these on Monday morning. If my local guitar shop does not have one or getting them for a while i will phone around and track one down. Now it's time to choose between white and sunburst. If the pickups are not brilliant what would be a suitable replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lylodile Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I just ordered one of these. I'm very excited! I was thinking of getting a jaguar tremolo off ebay and putting it on the bass vi so it has the tremolo lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Yeah my guitarist just bought one of these from GAK, he expects it to arrive tomorrow, he also has a CAR Pawn Shop Bass VI so will definately be interesting. I was all up for buying his Pawn Shop model but damn it's hard with these coming in at less than half price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh87 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 GAK are now sold out. Looking at some time in September for the next batch to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshallBTB Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Wanted one of these for ages and seriously considering spending out for one of the pawn shops, and this comes along! I feel a birthday present to myself coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu-khag Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Had a chance to buy a jap one a few years back previous to them reissuing their reissues - So glad I didn't bite the bullet as it was so costly due to it being a rarity. Now I have a choice. I think I'd like a white one and consider getting it painted surf green with matching headstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazy_olie Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 want! but I feel I would be better off learning a bit of regular 6 string guitar before getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh87 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 If anybody is serious and wants one soon then start calling places tomorrow since it looks like they will not be hitting the UK again for 6 to 8 weeks. The VM Bass VI has proven very popular, more so that first thought so even then supplies may be limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] They haven't proved more popular than anyone who has followed the Offset Guitar Forum or various Surf Guitar forums thought i can assure you. These forums have been actively campaigning for a Squier version of the Bass VI for the last couple of years. The initial release of these were always going to sell out immediately.

[/quote] I think you could be right. Apart form those who have really been longing for a Squier version most of the people buying them (if what's on most forums is anything to go by) seems to be by those who seem to be curious and with the attitude of 'well they're cheap so if i get fed up with it i'll sell it and won't lose anything'. Pawn Shop ones are cropping up used so there could well be a good few Squier versions on the used market soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwh87 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Getting a sunburst, could be anything between two and five weeks. Wish i didn't wait and just got bought one last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 They look great, can I ask what capacity folks are intending to use them in? Would it replace normal bass duties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbyrne Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) I actually had my hand on my wallet to order one - pref. sunburst, although I'd like to see a white one with a white pickguard - when I suffered a hefty unforseen expense, so I'll have to wait 2 or 3 months till things build up again.

Jondeeman Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Just ordered mine. Can't wait to give it a go, but sadly we'll all be waiting until September now. Had to go with burst... looks the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
