I recall when I lived in Florida, there was this music store called Thoroughbred Music and they had an original one along with some other vintage stuff (I suppose less vintage since it was in the late 80's :P) behind some velvet rope. It was the only time I ever actually seen one in person and being the teenage noob I was, the whole collection left quite an impression on me. These expensive (even back then) guitars that I could never probably afford or have an opportunity to play from the glory days of rock n' roll, whatever that was. I suppose the velvet rope was supposed to emphasize this fact. It's kind of silly, but now it kind of reminds me of that scene from "Spinal Tap" with the sea foam green Bass VI. I guess the young mind is quite impressionable, but it's still a cool instrument.

Man, that seems like it was 100 years ago, but it was less than 25. A lot can happen in 25 years. Hell, even 10.

Ordered a Squier VM Bass VI from my local music store last week. After reading this thread, I'm hoping for a delivery by March.

I just checked AMS and the 23rd is still listed as the due date. Three more days to wait and see if they will show up or not.

I got a call from my Sweetwater rep on Monday. I had been expecting a call so they'd tell me my order was pushed back, but they were calling to tell me that they wee boxing it up and I'd get it by the end of the week. Apparently, they got two in white, and I was number 2 on the wait list. Their next shipment is coming in February. The bass arrived today, but it's in a box under the tree until Wednesday. I'm pretty excited.

Cool, at least somebody got one. That reminds me of being a kid. The loot under the tree and the eternal wait to open it on Christmas. My Mom would stay up until 4:00 A.M. Christmas Eve doing whatever and wouldn't wake up until noon, so we had to wait until she got up. You know a kid isn't going to sleep in late, especially on that day. :P

I'm still about 5 weeks away. My date has held fast at 1/23/2014. FWIW, I've rec'd three e-mails and two calls in the last few weeks thanking me for my business and my patience.

I ordered a strap for it the same day. It arrived almost three months ago.

I ordered a strap as well, but since I got the Bass VI on a payment plan I didn't receive it yet. I'll get everything and then pay it off in three installments. It was more convenient than buying it outright at the time.

Just checked AMS and now it's listed as pre order today. No date at all. Figures that would happen. Where's the damned Bass VI's, Fender Squier? Run out of wood overseas? :P

When I emailed customer service, I got a reply saying that there was a production backup caused by the demand - and I read somewhere online that the factory missed a shipment. I also know that, coming from Indonesia, there's a long ship time to get overseas. So they're coming, just not as fast as we want them to.

OK, that's good to know. I had a feeling it was something like this.

MF e-mailed me with reasonably good news -- My new date is Jan 14th -- so I gained a little more than a week.

That's good news. I'm going go check AMS and see if there is any update on delivery there.

OK, update and on Christmas morning, too! I got the email from AMS this morning and it said my order for the Bass VI shipped. I wasn't expecting that one! The odd thing was I went ahead over to AMS and checked the page and it said they were due in February. Go figure. Maybe I was able to get one since I pre-ordered and they are out of stock again. Well, it should be here in a couple of days so I'm looking forward to that.

Congrats!! I got an e-mail, too. It was another apology for the long backorder. I thought MF had more pull with the OEMs. You would have to think that the entire January shipments coming to the big online retailers are already sold out so the February date doesn't surprise me.

If Fender/Squier really is planning to launch a Squier version of the old Fender XII, I hope their production facilities are up to the task.
