Copper, and graphite sparkle are cool. Red sparkle looks like shit to me.

Then again, I have a blue sparkle Super-Sonic that I love.

I don't know that the mastery would intonate properly, or why you would need it. The vi bridge is wider, and should have ample string tension to keep it steady

So the Bass VI is ready already. The bassist in my bands got his hands on one here in the UK for like £602 he said. I had a go at practice last night. It's pretty **bleep** sweet. The bridge on it has no problems obviously because the strings are heavier than your standard guitar gauge.

Re: So I've heard some Fender 2013 rumors..

I heard they're going to be $800, or a bit under that here in the USA, which is an all-time price low for the Bass VI. They look really cool - how did it play / sound? How does your bass player like it?

Re: So I've heard some Fender 2013 rumors..

Phil, I don't know how to quote you. But yeah he loves it - it's added strange new depths to some of our stuff. It plays really easily - it came well set-up. The JM pickup is nice and bitey. I'm not a massive fan of the neck pickup though to be honest.

They're heavier, but tuned an octave down. Doesn't mean there's more tension.

Re: So I've heard some Fender 2013 rumors..

Believe me, there's plenty of tension. But there are no problems with the strings popping out of place. My bassist plays it with his fingers rather than a pick and still no problems.

Hit the "reply" button right below the post you want to respond to, then when the text box opens up, hit the quote button at the upper right hand side of the box - it's in blue, right next to the spell check box. That will insert the quote into the rich text entry box.

 

Thanks for the feedback on the Bass VI. It sure looks cool!
