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

I think the only thing I don't REALLY dig with my Bass VI are the flatwounds....... I just can't really afford a new set of Bass VI strings atm. What are you guys using?

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.

What was the bridge upgrade and which model is this?

You liked the stock low e? I hated it. :idk: 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.

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

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),

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.
