Re: New squier Bass VI colours at CME
Looks like the shipping dates have slipped further back for new orders. And I'm rather torn on the options. Not sure I love the laurel fretboards based on the photos I've seen so I'm leaning towards the walnut guitar and its maple neck.

Re: New squier Bass VI colours at CME
Has anyone tried installing one of these mutes on a Bass VI?

The website is a bit dated. After digging around, I know the original Bass VI mutes are hard to come by and there aren't any reproductions, as far as I know.

Re: New squier Bass VI colours at CME
I've got my eye on one of those for my Bronco bass... But I'm not sure I can justify putting a €105 gizmo on a €185 bassinkeye wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 6:11 amHas anyone tried installing one of these mutes on a Bass VI?

I'm not sure at all it would work with the narrow string spacing of the VI, or with the short distance between the bridge and the pickup. You could contact the manufacturer and ask them.

Did anyone get one of these in the end? I'm tempted by the LPB from Andertons - would love to see some pictures and hear some thoughts if anyone got one!

Because the world doesn't have enough boring black, white, and sunburst guitars and basses already?
Good news for you. It already comes in that boring finish:

Re: New squier Bass VI colours at CME
I just ordered a regular ass black one. No one in Canada sells these sweet FSR colours and no dealers will ship here. Andertons has both LPB and Purple with matching headstocks and I can't get them.
Meanwhile this is the year of the Bass VI because of the Beatles documentary that was released and Fender seems to have been caught completely unprepared. Imagine if they'd bothered still making the MIJ or an MIM Fender model? Instead you have dickheads on Reverb charging 4 grand for early 2010's MIJ.

Since when did Anderton's stop shipping to Canada? I've ordered from them, and I bought a purple CV Tele that someone local had ordered from them just a year or two ago.Powdered Toast Man wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 12:22 pmI just ordered a regular ass black one.

Re: New squier Bass VI colours at CME
Web checkout disables the "complete order" button as soon as I input my address. States item in my cart cannot be shipped to the region I specified. I looked at their international shipping policies and Fender is one of the brands listed that they are unable to ship outside of the UK.mbene085 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 8:26 pmSince when did Anderton's stop shipping to Canada?

It's the same reason that US based Fender dealers can't ship Fender to Canada - regional dealer exclusivity contracts (Long & McQuade).

Re: New squier Bass VI colours at CME
Weird, that didn't use to be the case just a short while ago. I know a lot of dealers in the US wouldn't ship Fender stuff here because of those contracts, but Anderton's was still doing it.Powdered Toast Man wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 8:52 pmIt's the same reason that US based Fender dealers can't ship Fender to Canada - regional dealer exclusivity contracts (Long & McQuade).

I've ordered a purple bass VI from Anderton's couple of days ago. It should be here on Thuesday according to DHL notification. I'll report back when it arrives.

Re: New squier Bass VI colours at CME
Dude, next time just use one of us UK-based members as a proxy. I know I wouldn't mind taking in and reshipping a guitar for someone. Obviously there's the potential for issues with damages/returns but it's an option nonethelessPowdered Toast Man wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 9:39 pmWell, they ain't now.mbene085 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 9:13 pmWeird, that didn't use to be the case just a short while ago.

Re: New squier Bass VI colours at CME
I don’t think it’s fenders contract with andertons…. It may be strictly a UK exclusive thing. Maybe they got legal shit from other dealers coz they were so loose with it….
Tried to order an epiphone exclusive from andertons to the states. Was showing the option to as a preorder, this was months earlier when they would still ship the uk exclusive mij sunburst jazzblaster.
Then months later once it came back into stock it wouldn’t ship it internationally, and can’t check out to a us address with the fender stuff as well at this time..
But yeah either way it sucks. Their international shipping rates were reasonable.

Re: New squier Bass VI colours at CME
I was able to get the guitar I wanted (Squier FSR JM) from Thomann when Anderton's wouldn't ship to me.
