So, I may have a sunburst loaded VI body on it's way.

Hmmmm, so the ergonomics are all out of whack? I'm wondering whether the same would be on a bass vi conversion. I mean, logic would dictate probably but I'm not of the technical mind!

Well fender put a jazz body with a strat neck and called it the Sixty-Six!

No, i'm probably gonna get a VI again shortly and probably will keep it a VI (with some upgrades) but if I really thought i could pull off a VI to IV conversion simply and relatively cheaply, i'd eventually give it a go. Replacement Bronco Necks are impossible to find as they dont make replacement short scale necks apparently and dont make squier ones (bought a mustang body, needed a neck, ended up canibalising my Bronco to make a working bass - it was a cool project, ended up with a Mustang with a Telebass pickup and a Jazz Bridge pickup)

Id replace the trem plate with a 4 string one of these: not the prettiest, but should work.

Hi everyone, This is just a hypothetical, i'll probably never get round to it, but I thought it would be a fun idea. Remember the Fender Rascal Bass? Essentially it was a shortscale 4 string bass with a Bass VI body. It came in one colour: green. It had an awful name and it had 3 lipstick pickups (no complaints, but i just think it looked out of place personally). But I have to say, it has some charm for me. They're discontinued now and i cant imagine a reissue will be forthcoming any time soon and unfortunately i never got a chance to try one in person. So here's my thought: Could you turn a Squier Bass VI into a Bass IV/Rascal? You'd get a triple-pickup shortscale bass on/off for each pickup and you could wire the strangle switch to series/parallel First thoughts are you would either need to fill and re-drill the tuner holes OR would something like a bronco bass neck fit? You could get a decent enough pickup set to replace the jaguar pickups, maybe some rail ones to deal with any misalignment of the strings against where pole pieces) You could replace the trem plate with a hardtail one (a few places on Reverb offer them, a custom order shouldn't be to hard to get and this would bypass the trem and stringing options all together). You'd need a new nut, but with the VI's having a 42mm nut, currently, that shouldnt be too hard. The only real issue is the bridge (assuming a replacement neck from a bronco would work). As id need something that fits in the existing hole but was made for a 4-string bass. Any other problems you guys could think of, how easy do you think it would be to do?

I agree to an extent, but the Gibson DC bass is USA made, and is well under a grand, £736 to be exact. Two short scale, USA made basses with single humbuckers (both with options for changing the tone of that humbucker). The fallout does look great and sounds great in the demo video too

Yeah, I was so hyped for this until finding out the price, bring out a Tribute model and I'll be all over it but at that price, it totally killed my GAS

That was my thought. I love the Tech21 Leeds on both bass and guitar.

Heh. I mean it does do the octave up and the 5th up in a pedalboard friendly package. I just wasn't impressed with how it sounded, however I'd be happy to try it again

I have tried the quint machine once or twice. I thought it sounded passable if you were to put some EQ or drive after it
