@mikescanlan4653 10 лет назад

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.

@ErnestoPicazo92 10 лет назад

Kyyp3r don't do it man, don be forrced to play an instrument you won't dedicate fully, as in you will be playing like a guitar player than a bass player and their roles are compleatly different. plus these kind of band member choises give bass players a bad name.

@ernestochang1744 7 лет назад

Don't buy this, tuning issues are horrible regardless if it sounded good in here or not remember chappers had to keep retuning the guitar? not only that but intonation is messed up no matter what you do to those bridge saddles or bridge saddles screws, this thing is out of whack, even the fender pawn shop it's shit

That's what I thought until I tried one the other day. It blew my mind. You don't have to be a bass player, it's just fun to mess around on. You can get some really unique and interesting tones out of it. The most playable instrument I've ever played. I'm definitely buying one.

@InSearchof8 9 лет назад

Linus Martin You're right! You have to try one to see what it's all about. I am buying for two reasons - The Beatles used this on a few songs and I have most of the guitars they have used, and secondly, I tried it at the local GC and it is fun for noodling around on. I will be using this for Helter Skelter, Let It Be and a few other Beatles songs it was used on.

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)

Leonard Crainie It's like that with most squier vs. fender guitars, fenders generally are overpriced :( The only major difference between a squier and a fender is their pickups & electronics. Sometimes the kind of wood used for the body of guitar is different too, but that doesn't really matter to the sound.

***** 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. Bring them up to G or A or something like that, they'd make more sense. The trem seems pretty clunky - if there was either a hardtail version or a Strat/Floyd/Wilkinson trem option, that might make more sense.

Isn't there a rule somewhere stating that when two or more guitar players are playing bass at the same time, they MUST play Tap's 'Big Bottoms'?

@nerkoids 10 лет назад

Chapman guitars should make a version of this.

@Ronbajista 10 лет назад

You guys should make a video like this one, but with these intruments played through bass amps.

Any idea if you could put a floating tremolo arm on this?

John Lennon recorded the bass part for Helter Skelter on one of these.

Just bought the Squier version. Great guitar once you put on some flat wound La Belle strings. As a tradition Bass player, this is MAD fun! And the rest of my band mates just went "WTF".

George Harrison used one

@NotDingse 7 лет назад

HistoryFanatic03. The Beatles got one by Fender, which George and John used when Paul played piano

Great video ! did you change the stock strings ? The E string sounds less flabby than on other videos I´ve seen ...

@alonsomiranda2598 10 лет назад

I've tried both in a shop and for me the Squier wins! And if you think that it also costs 1/2 the other, its win is a triumph!! ;)

That distorted tone reminds me a lot of Joey De Maio's tone, especially on the battle hymns album

I recently got the Squier Vintage Modified version and aside from challenges gettting the thing set up correctly, the thing really kicks butt! Gigged with it this last Friday playing in a blues/heavy rock power trio and was coming up with all sorts of cool psychedelic tonage especially when adding just a bit of overdrive! Not much more than $400 out the door (Including taxes, gig bag, and new strap and a couple other small items) here in the U.S. There is no excuse NOT to get one of these!

This is the kind of Guitar I could see Abraham Laboriel being comfortable playing. :)

I play guitar but was in Denmark St bass shop (inspired by Fieldy) and found this 'bass' which I could jam on instantly. I played the fender it was lots of fun and will almost certainly buy the squire when second hand ones start popping up. They warrant all the enthusiasm IMO

ive heard drop R before.

@MikeyAware 10 лет назад

Honestly wish Fender would start catering to the left hand market a bit more...I'd buy this in a heartbeat if only for the s%$ts and giggles effect. No way to reproduce this in a left hand version either (without prices getting way out of hand)

With the high gain, it just reminds me of Manowar and the sound Joey DeMaio uses..

@siskokidd 11 лет назад

Nice! Lots of classic music was recorded using the original VI. For example, Joe Perry used one on Rocks, George Harrison and John Lennon used one whenever Paul Mac was playing 6 string in the studio.

@ccgbassandmore3 5 лет назад

I got this bass a year ago and it's my number one in my band

@kaicho8888 6 лет назад

Man... I played a Fender VI in 1965... Beach Boys - Good Vibration !!! Thanks for the review!

@marshallsmountain Год назад

Yep. I love my bass 6. I play it through a 1974 bassman 10, a silvertone 1474 and a 1974 Deluxe. Those chords delight me every time. What a great guitar.
