From Junk to Jewel: Upgrading a Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI
PART 1: Overview and What Needs to Be Done
OK, so it's not exactly junk - but it's not exactly not junk, either. There are a lot of cheap components on this and other Squier guitars. Though Squier is a branch of Fender, there is a wide quality gulf between the Indonesian-made Squiers and the American-made Fenders. In the middle are the Fender guitars built in Mexico and Japan; no doubt where you are as a player, you can find a Fender to fit your hands and your budget.

In this part of the upgrade series, I'll give you an overview of the 2022 Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI in classic black. It's also available in a nice three-color sunburst. I'll also discuss what modifications and upgrades I'll be making throughout the series.
Stay tuned for more about this "100% designed by Fender" instrument; a Bass VI is a guitar like no other - it looks like a guitar and plays like a guitar, but it sounds like a bass!
Specs on the Classic Vibe Bass VI are as follows:
* Body made from poplar and has a gloss polyurethane finish
* Neck made from maple and has a medium vintage tint done in gloss urethane finish
* Fingerboard made from Indian laurel, a type of wood in the fig family - not rosewood as I state in the video - which grows widely in Asia
* Scale length is 30" and the fingerboard radius is 9.5"
* Nut width is 1.685"/42.8mm, and they claim the nut is made of bone (I am skeptical)
* Frets are "narrow-tall"
* Stock pickups are "Fender Designed" alnico single-coil Jaguar pickups
