The only real differences between the AVRI and the Mascis are the pickups (AVRI reissues and CIJ pickups), body wood (AVRI are alder and Mascis is basswood), bridge (reissue vs adjust-o-matic) and finish (nitro vs poly). That and the AVRI come with hardshell cases. You can swap the pickups to S-D Antiquity or Quarter-pound for $150 and a hardshell case runs about as much.

Edit: two pictures with my other equipment (and my DVDs).
