Thanks! I am really looking forward to playing the Jag HH.

I had a couple of Vista Jagmasters back in the day that I loved, but always wished they had a Jag vibrato instead of the strat style trem. This seems to be the guitar I always wanted. I just wish they were available in Black.

The Jag arrived today. It's in dire need of a fresh set of strings and a serious fretboard cleaning.

What do you think about the bass vi? I saw one last week in a store and i was terrified about the weight. Are they all so heavy?

I like the neck shape, but I haven't been able to properly play it yet. Still needs to be cleaned up and restrung in a terrible way.Probably won't get an opportunity until Friday.

It's much heavier than I expected for such a relatively small guitar. Must be all the extra metal from the control plates?

This one plays really nice. The pickup selections give you a good range of tones to choose from, though the 3 slide switches are a bit clunky.

Heavy? Well, it IS a bass guitar. It's not as heavy as the Classic 60's Jazz Bass I used to have.

I was gonna say... it's heavier than most guitars, sure... but relative to many basses, it's not bad at all. I think the heaviest i've owned is a 70's MiA Peavey T-40. The heaviest i've played, though, was a friend's Gibson RD Artist... but who cares about back problems if you've got that Moog preamp?!

I've only played the Squier Bass VI. I don't know if the Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI is any lighter.

OP: Congrats on two awesome guitars!!
