I looked to purchase a Mk VI for several years but could never find one that I could afford (they quit making them decades ago).

What a great instrument that was!

Fender occasionally re-releases the Bass VI from time to time, most recently under their "Pawnshop" series.

Currently, an Indonesian-made Bass VI is sold by Squier for $459.

Interesting. I guess I’m too much of a snob but I would always regard them as inferior to an original. The one I saw, complete with sunburst paint scheme, runs around $13k.
