What can I say. Out of all Bass VI instruments this is the cream of the crop. Excelent gritty sound which is exactly what you expect from this instrument as long as you know what you're buying, Only problematic thing is that what you buy features one mistake which might as well be intentional from Fender is its bridge. If not for that, Fender would never be able to sell one Pawnshop VI or Vintera VI. Once bridge problem is resolved, guitar is simply like top class instrument. One just needs to avoid millions of misleading fix articles and that is it. Every single tip that I saw was high cost and solving nonexistent problems. There is no need to replace winding machines, there is no need to put shim and most importantly there is no need to buy M1 bridge which costs arm and leg. All you need is to remove bridge and measure the bridge holes and bridge stand to get measurement for fitting pipes. Then go to some shop which has iron lathe to make those pipes and that is it. Costed me 16eur total. At that point guitar is pure perfection where you can't understand how cheap it was
