Has anyone dropped in a Classic Player tremolo on a Squier CV bass vi?

I read that the AVRI and Japanese tremolos are suitable replacements but they are hard to get a hold of here.

Anyone here with first hand experience?

After months of playing with my Harley Benton GuitarrBass, I'm ready to jump to a higher end instrument. I've got my eye on the Schecter Hellcat VI, which visually appeals to me more that Fender's Bass VI.

If there's any owner here, I'd like to ask:

-What's the width and height of the instrument? I want to check if my GuitarrBass bag would fit this Hellcat.

-What strings do you use? I've read people combining two strings packs to fit the strings or comes with, which I find pretty inconvenient.

-I'm guessing a 1100€ instrument will play and sound good but anyway: anything bad to say about it? And good?

Thanks in advance :)

I am starting a project and I want an amp the has some nice high gain overdrive and clean that can handle a bass 6. I also am a little more concerned about which speaker cabinet I could use that would be able to handle those low frequencies. I would probably use a drive and eq pedal before the amp to cut down on the lows, but I want to know that my amp won't blow up.

I would be using this mainly as a guitar and not the traditional bass 6 application. So no bass amps, I am strictly talking about high gain guitar amps.

Anyone have any recommendations? Anything I should be worried about?

I currently have a regular 5 way switch in my bass vi, wired up normal strat style.
The super switch intrigues me and I'm trying to decide how I can wire it up. Has anyone used one of these before?

I'm thinking of getting myself a Squier bass VI soon but I heard the tuners are really terrible and need replacement. I see that Thomann offers this set as a fitting alternative Has anyone here tried those or could suggest a set that I could get with the guitar via Thomann that doesn't require any drilling or anything besides popping them in and out? with a wrench and a screwdriver?

Hi, I’m interested in buying a Bass VI as I’m trying to learn some Cure songs(Robert Smith). The vintage Fender Bass VIs and the Custom Shop ones are too expensive but I was looking at the Squier Bass VI($479) and the Vintera Bass VI($1300) and I found a local used Schecter Robert Smith UltraCure Bass VI($1,000). Any thoughts on which direction makes most sense as far as quality of build and sound? Are there other brands that I should look at? Thanks

Hello everyone. I decided to randomly google my Dad’s guitar company name he has operated since I was a kid. He will get a huge kick out of some of the posts here when I call him tomorrow. He made electric guitars and tried to sell them in our small town and decided to open eBay to see if there would be more of a market.

I hope you all are enjoying his necks!

My highest string (in my case E) on my Bass VI often pulls off the neck when I'm playing (EDIT: slides off the edge of the fingerboard, not out of the nut or bridge). Is there any decent fix for this, or should I just deal with it?

Do these still exist? I see Labella made them a while ago, but can’t seem to find any for sale. Does anybody make these?

I got a bass vi with the intent to modify it several ways but just never did, so im finally getting into mods and I'm curious if anyone has tried making the bass vi more jazzier.

I've also been wanting to rewire the bass cut switch to the tone knob so it can be dialed in like the regular tone knob?

Does anyone happen to have a spare fender or squire bass vi neck for sale? I’ve recently come into possession of a body, but just the body and need a replacement neck for it. I’d be happy to pay for shipping over paypal goods and services. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I've been playing double bass and electric bass for a long time now, and was looking to spice up my playing with a Bass VI.

I've seen some online reviews that claim that for playing chords, the higher register is the best, as on the lower side they tend to sound a bit muddy. That got me thinking if it then might be better to get an affordable 5 string and tune EADGC to get familiar with the chord in the higher register. I have very, very basic guitar experience (at the best) so I might need some time to work on this.

I know a 5 string and a Bass VI have different registers, but if it's true that BVI has muddy chords, then playing arpeggios wouldn't be that different if I just use a 5 string bass?

More context: I would use either BVI or 5S for alternate tuning in an experimental, post-rock setting. And I live in a small city with a limited offer of instruments, so I can't just find a Bass VI in my local shops.

Thoughts?
