Any chance Fender will bring back the Bass VI?

Curious abut this guitar, seems like it was a baritone

Fender Japan did bring back the Bass VI this year. Available only in Japan. BUT..might be able to get it shipped here by some retailers there. Cost when all is said and done would be approx $1,800 US or so, Been some negative comments about build quality, etc. especially given the cost. Personally...I'd get a Schecter Hellcat VI 2012 model with its three single-coil genuine Duncan SJAG-1s. Cost - around $700. No tremolo but if you can live with that it's a fantastic axe. Make sure to get the 2012 model as the older models had vastly inferior mini-hums.

BTW,neither of these are baritones. It's a 6-striing short-scale bass. It's got a longer neck/scale (30") than a bari and it's tuned E>e one octave below standard. Baris typically have a 27" neck and are tuned differently.
