Allegedly some of the the Squier ones do have a few problems in terms of the tuners, but perhaps sorted now? My Revelation one (in Fiesta Red) is spot on...Danswift wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 3:11 pm I've recently been toying with the idea getting a bass VI.
The Squire models look pretty cool I must say from the various YouTube videos I've seen so now I just need to find a guitar store near me that actually sells these things so I can try one out for myself!

Thomann also do a 'Harley Benton' cheapo version which is apparently quite good too;

Is it the tuners or the fact that it has a tremolo bridge? I always thought that was a bit of a bad idea on their part from a tuning perspective (Fender and Squier).donkey tugger wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 8:20 pmAllegedly some of the the Squier ones do have a few problems in terms of the tuners, but perhaps sorted now?Danswift wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 3:11 pm I've recently been toying with the idea getting a bass VI.

Dunno, the Revelation (in Fiesta Red) also has a tremelo (never used it) and have had no bother with tuning.Forgotten wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 8:36 pmIs it the tuners or the fact that it has a tremolo bridge?

Maybe not then, especially if you have enough tension on it. Was trying to think of something where someone played a Fender VI using the tremolo, but not even Uncle Hank tried when he played one - bit of string bending but no tremolo that I can hear:donkey tugger wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 8:38 pmDunno, the Revelation (in Fiesta Red) also has a tremelo (never used it) and have had no bother with tuning.Forgotten wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 8:36 pmIs it the tuners or the fact that it has a tremolo bridge?
