visog Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Chatters, Advice please - I've a Squier VM fretless which I'm pretty 'meh' about: It has a high action and limited tone. Is it a good start point for mods - set-up, bridge and possibly pick-ups, or should I move on and get a Sire say. Anyone upgraded one of these? Do people bother these days with the proliferation of good cheapies. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 A good set up will transform a fretless far more than a fretted bass. Give it a go and then decide, it doesn't cost a penny and can be quite rewarding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Is the action high because the bridge saddles are bottomed out? If so, a shim and a set-up for starters I'd say. In fact a set-up for definite, shim or not. If it's still not nice to play after that, then shift it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
