Update: the pickup works really well. Good response, clean. Output level is a bit high, but eq works well. Important to me because I do a lot of chording.

Sure, the nut is 1 7/8", Strings span 1 3/4" at nut, roughly 5/16" spacing. At the bridge, strings span 2 1/2", about 7/16" spacing. Scale is dead on 34".

Hey folks, Just bit the bullet and took a chance on one of these. It arrived undamaged, but the neck is taking a lot of struss rod adjustment. I immediately switched it to E-E tuning, using my preferred Roto Sounds round-wound strings (electric) going down to a 95 low E. I gotta say it...

Yup, I apologized for getting carried away in a response.

To actually answer the question.. To me the song is in the key of Em, the bridge brings in a G tonality to break things up, but at the point in question it is part of a modulation back into Em. The chord is a definite Em sound.

Sorry man. I know I got carried away, but you know when you've typed that much into this little box it gets hard to back off even if you know you ought to.

I gotta strongly disagree with this. The root of the chord is not determined by what note the bass player plays, and conversely, the bass does not play only the roots of chords. If that was the case a walking bass line would change chords with every note, and it does not. If the chord is G and...

I think Staytrem offers a replacement that I've heard work nicely. It's a 9.5 radius.

Looks alot like mine. Congrats. Coupla things. You may need to turn the bridge upside-down to be able to adjust the intonation right., and the adjustment is done with a metric Allen wrench. Looks like you fared better than me for strings, mine had been sitting in the store a while so I put...

" I mean a guitar manufacturer making a guitar with strings E, A, D, G, C, F which would still be in fourths rather than a guitar that is E, A, D, G, B,E." All you need is a custom set of strings: something like 11s on the lower 4 and 10s on the upper two. That should more than even out the...

I bought a Squire VI about 6 months ago and I'm enjoying both as a Bass and a low tone mellow guitar. I set it up with Round wound Labellas and get a pretty decent bass sound out of it as well as a good cording sound in the upper registers. It has a switch that kills the lows but I don't use...

Okay, so thisthread is way too old, but if you've got small hands, might want to consider a Fender Bass VI.
