Got a Squire Bass VI and, while it's no Bigsby, mine has been quite lovely! Have you tried lowering the lights and playing some Sinatra? mj

It isn't that the spring is stiff on mine, it is that the unit is garbage. Pretty much nothing happens when I use the arm, this is not my experience with vintage/Japanese/Mastery vibratos on VIs. |

The avri and mij units I've felt are nothing like this. Granted, mine appears to have a shorter arm than anything else I've seen, but hot damn she don't like to dance. |

I somehow never noticed that George is playing a Bass VI in the Hey Jude video until last night |

A lot of people missed that. The Beatles indeed used the VI. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

Most think Lennon played the Bass VI on Helter Skelter. Isolated bass: |

So just had to revive this thread after finding this for sale on Reverb and actually getting to see the 1961 floating pickups! https://reverb.com/item/30213064-1961-62-fender-bass-vi I got interested after seeing these on the Curtis Novak website: https://www.curtisnovak.com/shop/bass-vi-1961/ I had no idea this existed, but now absolutely have to hear what this sounds like. —Jeremy |
