Let's see your BASS VI, people

Labella roundwounds, only bass I have so I need flexibility.

d'Addario EXL156

I still have the original strings bagged up. I may swap them out, but that low E was the best. The low E is sort of odd.

Basically done, eventually I will get a bass vi hardtail from strider, but it plays SO much better with the bridge and string upgrade...

What was the bridge upgrade and which model is this?

You liked the stock low e? I hated it. The low e on the bass vi is a bit weird though, every other string sound great but even with a much thicker string on the low e is a bit floppy for my tastes.

Looks like the Staytrem wide bridge for Bass VI. Have one too, great suff and not Mastery expensive.

[MrNovember]

Definitely looks like the Staytrem bridge. I have one too and definitely recommend it. I think I'll pick one up for my Jazzmaster too

[finboy]

Squier with staytrem and I got the special order thimble drop ins that keep the bridge from rocking, as I don't use the trem on this guitar

Pardon the terrible IG pic...

I turned my baritone Telemaster into a Bass VI (kinda...scale is 29" so E-e wasn't quite working out, thus it's a half step up/F Standard),

[Disarm D'arcy]

It looks super awesome. The stain is beautiful.

Hmmmm I could have swore I typed "but that low E was the WORST" haha. We both share the same sentiment.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Haha that makes much more sense! I was very surprised.

colossus that looks amazing!!!

[colossus]

Thanks dudes!

What companies are currently making "VI" type models besides Fender? I know Lakland makes a really ugly one. EGC will build you one, I think Danelectro and Gretsch have 6-string bass models with a 30" scale or near that. You can build your own through Warmoth....anybody else?

Schecter has the Hellcat and Ultra vi. Besides that i don't know. The ultra vi is more appealing to me than the Fender. I don't know how much use I'd get out of the vibrato.

I'll probably get the Squier first since its half the price.
