Bass VI alternative

Hi all,
I got a little excited yesterday looking at the Artist Guitars site for a new bag.
I came across something I have wanted to see for a little while now.
Artist guitars have a Bass VI!
Artist BM1 Grungemaster Six String Electric Bass GuitarBM1

It is a very similar configuration to the Squier with 4 switches and a trem, the 4th switch is a kill switch rather than a hi-pass, but I am sure it can be modded.

I am a big fan of Artist, I have one bass and two guitars from them. The price is similar to Donner but the quality is guitar shop, I would say at least (Good) Harley Benton, Squier or Epiphone and their customer service is excellent.
I think they shop overseas- there are certainly OS reviews.

I am very close to getting this despite absolutely not needing it and if this was available when I got my Harely Benton I would have got it instead.
Postage is free within Australia.

Tried that but the work laptop isn’t letting me.

Thanks for adding it.

Eastwood Guitars also offers some options

Eastwood is cool and I would love one, but very out of my reach.
Artist are $400 AUD with free postage.
converting Eastwood prices from USD to dollarydoos and adding postage ends up being a small fortune.

Snagit from TechSmith is your friend. I’ve been using it since Win95. It’s fantastic.

Yes, thank you I know how to do these, the point is that the Govt laptop I use at work wasn’t letting me for, reasons.
At home this is not a problem and I didn’t have the time to do it on my phone.

interesting you have the only post re Snagit from Techsmith I dont know why it isnt mentioned in other posts. I’ve used it for many years and even though they’ve changed there pricing method to annual subscription it’s still a great product. I see many question about printing tabs/capturing videos and Snagit can really accommodate a lot of different capturing needs. They’ve really improved the scrolling capture. I use the video capture all the time.

Hate this getting old stuff. Forgot the @ when I posted this. Good thing electrons are so cheap.
