The Schecter Hellcat VI is much like the Fender Bass VI, except more affordable. Korean made like most Schecters and it plays really really well. It's tuned just like a guitar 'EADGBE', but an octave lower. It's a fascinating instrument to play. 30" scale, string gauges are: .025 - .035 - .045 - .055 - .075 - .095. Technically not a baritone guitar (although it can sound like one), but nothing like a contemporary 6 string bass. If your a fan of The Cure and New Order, the Hellcat VI will get you that signature Robert Smith Bass VI sound as well as those melodic Peter Hook-style lead bass lines.

Passive twin humbuckers on the Stagg bass. Not the best quality, but not bad. I think I paid $200 US for the bass. I must admit I don't play it as often as a I should. The Hellcat VI and the Epi Thunderbird get most of the attention.

I love the Hellcat VI. It has enough low end to function as a bass, yet can be played much like a guitar. Sounds quite lovely playing arpeggios through chorus and delay effects. I like to think of it as the perfect bass for guitarists who wish basses were more like guitars.
I punched it whilst drunk and attempting to generate more feedback. It has been tossed off of several stages, dropped, kicked, any and all kinds of abuse and it's still my main guitar. It doesn't sound super great but I like the neck and I feel I owe it to the guitar at this point.
