No right minded person would tune to drop F on a 6 string. Thats insane. Just get a 7 or an 8 and dont put your guitar through that Hell. You'd need a baritone and like .14 gauge strings to handle that, and even then you'd be adjusting your poor truss rod...poor poor truss rod. -shudder-. All those PROGRESSIVE METAL (Not fucking djent) bands use either 7s, 8s, or 9s when tuning that low.

I will be using this for Helter Skelter, Let It Be and a few other Beatles songs it was used on.

@njp2k914 3 жыл бұрын

I know I’m 7 years late!! If anyone gets the current squire cv bass vi I would recommend making a few mods. 1. Kluson vintage tuners keep mine in tune way better than the stock tuners. 2. The staytrem wide bridge makes intonation so much easier. 3. I would get some beefier strings as the stock ones on the squire aren’t thick enough imo and you lose some low end on the low E and A (newtone strings in Derbyshire do a great .024-.100 set which imo is better than the labella set)

***** These are really too short scale to be tuned to bass-E - you need a 34" scale to make that work. They're more like long-scale baritones.

The trem seems pretty clunky - if there was either a hardtail version or a Strat/Floyd/Wilkinson trem option, that might make more sense.

What I went on to learn; I bought the squier , when you get yours google instructables Fender Squier Bass VI Fixing tone. That guy was spot on on everything except changing the strings which really is about whether you want it to be more like a bass , or more like a guitar. the strings are specifically chose to straddle the area. The rest of that instructable is pure gold. If you do want to use it for extreme metal , I have bought and installed the Warman Twin Loco Hot Rail Humbucking pickup for the bridge which has pretty much doubled the output power and drives a distortion nicely without having to carve out a hole for a full size humbucker, or make the expensive leap to actives, it's just a nice straight swap. and at just £18 you can't go wrong!

"Look out bass players", actually from the looks of it, or perhaps these guys just didn't, the Bass VI isn't actually made to be played like a bass. I think our jobs are pretty safe seeing as it'd be pretty damned hard to play a guitar riff and bassline simultaneously on one of these.

First of all, wouldn't it make much more sense to run this out of a bass amp, considering it is a bass. And second, how would this put bass players out of the job? If anything this would be putting guitar players out of the job XD

Because it is still technically a 6 string guitar, the pickups dont push the same way bass pickups do and you can actually ruin the amp that way

You can run it through both bass and guitar amp, it works wonderfully on both.

@patrickpark1686 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, the tone will be different but you can run it through either. Or you can pick an amp like a Fender Bassman that is favored by both guitarists and bassist. I’d maybe worry about a guitar amp at high volume, but I think these pickups are more guitar style.
