I really want a bass VI, especially one with the high and low pass filters that the fender/squiers have. Right now I'm thinking my best option is to get a Squier Bass VI and play it upside, and just restring lefty flipping the nut. If anyone has any better ideas I would greatly appreciate it. |

Here's a thread from last December about possibly converting a regular guitar or a shortscale 4-string to a Bass VI. It also lists some options for readily available Bass VI-style guitars. Maybe this helps!  Edit: might as well post the actual link  viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11142 |

I wish Squier would cut the crap and just offer a lefty Bass VI already. |

You can build one at Warmoth. |

I asked Warmoth about this, and they said it is part of their agreement with Fender as a "replacement parts vendor". I only bring this up so that others are aware, because I do not trust myself to drill a dozen holes into an expensive guitar body. |
