I have been focusing on modular synth stuff for so long that I have neglected my guitars.. so what better way to remedy that than buying a new one. I have always (thought) I wanted a baritone but after talking to David (Storyboardist) for a bit, I came to the conclusion it was a Bass VI that I was really after. Like a good friend, David found one on Reverb that was perfect and it came with a case. I had no idea Squire had a matching headstock, square inlays Bass VI in shell pink. I jumped on it.
Squire Classic Vibe Bass VI:
I have had it a few nights now and I have really been enjoying this thing. The 30" neck feels like a bass length with a guitar width. Really nice in the hand. I was worried about the potential problem with the low E being floppy or a buzzing nightmare but it really was not an issue in standard tuning. Since I wanted to do some drop tuning with this thing (make it DOOM) I picked up a bone nut replacement and ordered a Staytrem bridge with better saddles. Parts should be here in a week or so. Overall the build quality is pretty nice for such an affordable guitar. I think I will take some steel-wool to the neck to soften up the lacquer a bit. Since I was a Couch strap whore in the past, I ordered one that I think will go well with the pink shell (thats important lol).
Anyone have one of these? Anyone have a legit Fender Bass VI? Mod ideas are welcome!
