Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI Limited Edition Shell Pink - *SOLD*
CH161 replied to 6feet7's topic in Basses For Sale
Just a quick chime in... The Bass VI low E is actually the same pitch as a standard electric bass, so the E,A,D,G are pitched as a bass guitar - then it adds the B and top E strings. So is strung in the same way as a guitar but obviously lower in pitch. I believe the idea of these was to aid guitarists in playing bass parts, but strictly speaking they are not the same as the baritone guitar which may be more suitable for you? They are tuned to a C just below the normal guitar pitches so work well when strummed. I have three vintage Fender VI's at the moment, and they are great instruments, they can really add something. The bass part can be played on them and then any soloing on the top strings is like playing a guitar (but more mournful sounding - think high range of tenor sax). Anyway, these are very good basses indeed and it's a very fair price. Good luck with the sale. -

Terrible business. Make sure you contact all the remaining Denmark Street shops - Wunjo and No Tom in particular. Also the Bass Gallery in Camden and the boutique in Shoreditch. These are so unusual I can't see them being able to pass it on.

The only other of these I've seen was for sale at a very reputable shop in the US. Looking at the photos I would surmise this is most likely the same bass. They were asking £20,220 plus £135 shipping to the UK. Then there would be import duty and VAT to pay on top of that. Plus the CITES business to deal with. Probably 25% in additional costs in real terms on top of the asking price to land it here, plus the time and expense regarding certification. It's starting to look like a bit of a bargain!

I doubt the seller expects to return the full amount as listed. In fact there is a rather large 'Make Offer' button below the listed price. There is also the VAT element to consider when buying from a retailer such as this. It won't be possible to know what that amount is as it will be sold under the VAT margin scheme - and consequently any VAT can't be claimed back. It would certainly be offered for less money without the VAT element, and I suspect as Rick says, it is very hard to price something so rare. The seller himself will no doubt be aware to find another will be extremely unlikely.

Yes indeed. Menzerna are great, but Maguiars are easily available in Halfords etc. I find the ultimate polish gives that new guitar shine so I tend to leave it at the ultimate compound on an older finish.
