I agree, the concept is a bit goofy, but these two latest offerings are nice IMHO and much better ideas than the first 3 offerings. I definitely will pick up the Bass VI, something I've wanted for years. I'm going to make my own someday and having one to work off of would be cool too. As for the Mustang, I think it has possibilities too! if you don't like the pup, you can do a new guard and put in anything you want! Not a bad deal, really.
