Schecter makes some 30-inchers which might be more to your liking.

Schecter also makes this thing, which is what I will be going after if the time comes for me to have a bass vi.

When Rondo reopens the (semi-)custom shop, you should be able to order one in black. Black is doomy, right?

On my squier I replaced the stock trem with a Mexican locking one and I don't have any tuning problems. I also added a staytrem bridge and now the thing is a rock. Granted that is about 140 bucks in part but it was totally worth it.

I really liked the squire besides the bridge, like the price though. I'm a but worried the single coil will suck for doom though
