Damn! I wish I had friends who would be my personal pawn shop Google Alert.

I somehow assumed that the Bass VI was discontinued in the 1970s. I wouldn't have expected there to be a Squier version since the Squier line of Fender wasn't introduced until 1982.

You'll do great things this bass!

Yeah, it's also awesome since he works our city's Long & McQuade as well (the Canadian Guitar Center) and the pawn shop is just close by. He usually checks it after work. ;) 

Squier makes some pretty cool stuff you wouldn't expect. The quality is rock solid as well! Fender has actually started making the Bass VI again in Mexico due to popular demand. Apparently, after The Beatles Get Back documentary released, the Squier VI was the best selling bass of that year...

Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away
