Was excited to hear about this but looking at the specs there's too much that is redundant with my bass VI or I just don't like at all. Disappointed

anyone end up getting one of these?
gassing hard

Why are you considering this one over the VM VI?

mainly the different tuning
i think it would be a cooler inbetween than having e-e guitar, e-e bass vi and an e-g bass
i do love jag/jazz trems but i dont want the hassle of having to get a new bridge, having it non locking, etc
i think the antigua is cool

You don't *have* to do that, and the non-locking has been a total non-issue on any of them.

I expected to have to replace it on my first Squier with one. Four years out...and I still haven't needed to.

Haven't replaced a single bridge on a Jazz/Jag/VI either.

The Mastery and Staytrem evangelists would change theirs out if it came with the opposing brand, I swear.

very true

got a lead on a bass vi for 5hundo which seems like a great price for down here
probably gonna get it

Yeah get the VI. You can keep the stock bridge. I did for a while and it somewhat worked though it required a bit of maintenance. The saddle height screws kept unsetting themselves. The nail polish trick worked but only lasted a while.

The Staytrem was a serious improvement anyway.

i mean if you want the tuning of this one and its not any more expensive than a VI i don't see why not. the trem on the VI is almost useless anyway. the bari probably won't need as much tweaking from stock.
but yeah 500 for a VI down here is good, i paid about that much for a used one, they're still weirdly hard to get from shops. can always sell it on if it doesn't suit you.

Nail polish isn't Loctite.

Get proper (blue-type, typically) Loctite, the screws will NOT move.

Same stuff you use on guns and engine parts etc under vibration and torque an instrument will never, ever see.

I got the baritone yesterday!
Loving it so far but I have been super busy so not a lot of time to play around
Feels like a lot less of an adjustment neck wise than I thought it would be (I normally play a jag)
But yeah, it's well set up and looks and feels great
The VI might have been a better/smarter buy for some but I went with my gut

Hell yeah. I bet it sounds rad through yr dirt huh?

Definitely! Getting soooo thick but its just articulate enough

Gonna try running stereo later tonight with bassy fuzz going into my bass amp and buzzz into classic 30

Glad you got one. I bet it sounds cool
