I couldn't get on with the narrow string spacing on my Classic Vibe VI at first, but I managed to persevere and eventually managed to get comfortable with it by not thinking of it as a bass but a different class of instrument it in the same way I'm able to play my strats, teles and ukuleles.

Father Cannot Yell — Can

My squier vi needed a shim as the angle of the strings behind the bridge was originally too shallow, which after fitting labella flats was causing a sitar-like sound where one string was vibrating against a screws on the trem unit.

If the blocks were factory installed inlays, there would be one at the first fret position, so they're likely stick-on junk.

Medicine For A Nightmare — Sun Ra

I always use card from whatever packaging I have saved for this purpose sitting amongst the pile of junk on my desk. I do not believe this can possibly cause a ski jump and have never experienced this although I've shimmed well over a dozen of my basses and guitars.

...no disrespect intended — I have been known to use a music stand & bits of paper

Just to clear up a common misconception, the bisonic pickups are actually single coils, the screws that look like a second row of pole pieces are actually just screws to adjust the height of the real pole pieces.

The Dukes of Stratosphear stuff is pretty damn good as well

Five-O-Ford — The Reverend Horton Heat

I just like making a lot of noise.

Crispy Fried Air is based around a simple | Am | / | G | / | F | G | C | / | chord sequence and features Drums from Logic's Scientific Method+ set, My Bitza Precision using Logic's SVT emulation, Logic's B3 organ, and Logic's Studio Grand Piano. There was originally also a guitar track, however it cluttered up the mix so I took it out.

The mustang bass in this range looks cool — especially the red one, however the spaghetti logo has absolutely no business in being on the headstock of a mustang bass. I'm not at all fussed about a fender needing to be made in the USA to be a serious instrument. I own a vintera mustang bass, two vintera strats, a vintera tele, a player series mustang bass, 3x JMJ mustang basses, and a Ben Gibbard Mustang guitar and they are all proof that the Ensenada factory is making absolutely fantastic instruments. My next purchase is very likely to be another Fender Mexico one, a Lake Placid Blue Vintera II Bass VI (if a secondhand one pops up at a price that makes sense)

I must admit to being rather irked whenever I see how the bass player was generated on the Enterprise-D's holodeck.

Have you tried playing air bass?
