Any Fender Bass VI users out there? Or any other short-scale 6 string bass players?

Here's a pic of my Schecter Hellcat VI

It's sort of a working man's version of a Fender Bass VI. Love the sound of it, though. Very "Cure-esque" sounding like in this vid. Robert Smith and Perry Bamonte both playing their Bass VI's while Simon Gallup plays his Eccleshall 4-string bass.

I'm gathering the parts to build one now. In the meantime I have a home built Squier '51 bass VI.

I've played 6-string bass since 1990 when I got my first Jerry Jones Longhorn Bass VI. Have owned a Fender, and currently have a different J.Jones and a Gretsch Synchro VI.

Yep. EADGBE like a guitar, only an octave lower.
