CAN'T SEE THE PICTURES.
Somebody rehost on the shortscale uploader so I can see them at work.
However, from the comments I'm going to assume this is a Squier VI with blocks and binding.
The idea of which is giving me a fucking chubby like you wouldn't believe. You know how a girl with big boobs and a sweater accidentally brushes them against you, and you're all "OH SHIT I CAN FEEL THEM BUT I CAN'T REALLY SEE THEM"? That.
Rehost the fucking pics.

Don't think I have access to the uploader but hopefully someone else will be able to sort that.
But, your assumption is correct: Squier VI with blocks and binding in sunburst, white and black. "Proper" VI set up too rather than weirdo JM pickups or humbuckers etc.

Black blocks and binding on maple? A white Bass VI?
If this is real I'm postponing my long over-due killing spree a little bit longer.

Whilst in a new era of equality this is probably best left unsaid: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. Surely one of the defining moments of any male pubescent (or post pubescent) life. I'm thinking grass green mohair for optimum impact.

Would like black with tort.
Oh yeah, how do these differ from regular 6-string basses again?

Because they're 30" scale (or 30.8" or something), the scale of a Mustang Bass, and are string E to E instead of B to B or whatever wide-necked six string abortions are usually strung to. The width and feel of the neck feels like a cross between a P-bass and a guitar. It sits between the two rather than existing as a direct iteration of one or the other.

I wonder if they'll have vintage correct A-Width nuts. Probably not.

I hope not - I can't wrangle an A-width neck.

If this actually pans out, will be bagging one of these for sure. Squier are on fucking fire at the moment - if Fender were even 10% as on it in terms of putting out models that I would actually want to own, I'd still be some sort of fully paid up Fender fanboy.
Hate to say it, as I'm normally pretty anti-sunburst, but the sunburst model looks like the best one of these to me.

I've heard guitar amps with bass cabs/speakers. I have an AC15VR that I never use (I prefer my modded AC15CC1), so I'm thinking of putting in a bass speaker and playing it through that... should this be a real thing and I get it.
