I love my Schecter VIs, but, I'm really looking forward to having a trem and bass cut switch! Can't decide if I'm gonna go white or black... my Jaguar and Hellcat VI are 3TS, so I'll avoid that :P
This is fantastic news (for me) when you don't get along with it, ship it west, i'll find something to ship back your way..

Kind of need that sunburst one. Or black. Or white is cool too.

Agree. The wood makes little to no difference in tone.

Cheers,

anyone know what the msrp is on this? I cant see it being more than 800 and mf then having it for 500-600 so second hand in a few years may be down to 350-400 which means i will be able to buy one from someone on here via a payment plan!

Up on the GAK website now and the sunburst and white ones appear to be in stock. £273 (same as Andertons).

nearly all places will price match anyway, they just want to make sales

That is a really stupendous price. They could have easily just done a stripped down, boring baritone for close to £400. As it is, they've made it the cheapest Bass VI/baritone you can get. With fucking blocks and binding. Blocks and binding.

Blocks and binding.

I'm going to be so poor for the next few months.

It's freakin magic isn't it. Seems to be so much for the money in comparison to what we're used to.

Would make sense seeing as how they're mostly VM Jag ($300) with a few newly tooled bits.

Played a japanese one today, $1050 more than the squire price, felt very similar to my squier jaguar, can't wait to try/buy a squier bass vi
