And it's blatantly a Bass VI anyway? Have you guys seriously forgot what one of those looks like?
No, they look like maruaders, hence the confusion. Kinda like a jag, but slimer and pointier.

Marauders always have a top horn control plate and never have a Jaguar bridge. And they don't have bass strings.

And they have the cock-stock!

Well, we have to bear in mind there are like 9 Marauders. A few of them had the cockstock, some even had asymmetrical frets. But the fact there are only 9 and Fender have been reissuing the Bass VI from the custom shop for ages makes me quite confused as to why people thought Marauder first. Odd...

the bass VI seems to elude a lot of people... some people must genuinely have a hard time recognizing it's massive scale just from the dimensions of it in pics, but the amount of times it's been referred to as a "weird jaguar" on guitar forums I couldn't even estimate.
