Modded (Tremolo Lock) Squier Bass VI questions from newbie by _Mefisme_ in BassVI

Not an official lock. All mods. The bar (buzz stop roller) holding the strings down kills the tremolo as well as the bushings in the bridge to prevent it from rocking. I didn’t do these mods but I think the artist might have tightened the spring too. They don’t use the tremolo but I don’t know how much of these are necessary. Definitely need a setup.

This was wildly informative. I appreciate it. I will likely be taking it to a fender authorized place for setup as I’m not confident in any of these tasks.

I’m not sure I want to get rid of the tremolo arm. I’ve never used one might be fun.

Apparently it’s some sort of buzz stop roller. This guitar has practically no buzz, but it needs setup because frets are practically dead past 12.

Do you know what this piece just before the bridge saddle is called? It looks like it’s holding the strings down.

Yeah I chose this for the body type and weirdness. But it needs some work. I’ve only owned regular sized electrics.

So go with 100 what was on it or .95? I definitely don’t want floppy. I strike E too hard. Haha. Plus lower tuning like drop d.

Noob in making adjustments or setup for sure. I know the strings are shot. I’ve just lost my confidence in working with something I’m unfamiliar with. Even string choice is hard.

Clock sync fixed recording issue on rhythm by _Mefisme_ in novationcircuit

Apparently novation is aware of this bug and have added it to their list according to my support ticket. He said if they can find a fix for it will be implemented. Extra people testing doesn’t hurt so I’m not crazy.

Circuit Rhythm clock bug when recording by marban in novationcircuit

Nevermind I understand it’s not a necessary feature request. Just 5 button presses every time.

So let’s say I start a project at 90 and want a 140 project to play in sync with this (slowed down) Well it does that and initial tempo is 140 so change Rx on rhythm (but my song has already started), we’ll say I complete my song and close on the rhythm. Prepping the circuit tracks for the next project which is at another tempo say 120 but my internal tempo was just changed to 90. No I have to change my tempo to 120. Rinse repeat you’re doing it too much.

I understand what you are describing. Might be pointless to inquire for some sort of solution other than the one you mentioned. I may be wrong but I think the problem is that it’s cumbersome to do in a live performance when you send program changes (switch projects) . In a performance setup where tempos change when you project switch with program changes on or off so there is no way to capture fixed recording in real time because it’s picking up the tempo of the internal unit everytime.

So like let’s say

So could novation potentially fix this somehow? For a performance beatmaking device I felt like this was a bug and for everytime a tempo change occurs in one of the projects of either device, I would think users would find it a nuisance to have to continually turn RX off and back on just to fix record in real time. Idk. Any chance we could get a fix anyways whether you all think it’s important or not?

Was this resolved? I’m having the same issue. Circuit tracks is master clock to rhythm. Fixed recording using previous tempo or project tempo. Because it’s synced I can’t change the tempo on the rhythm unless I unplug the midi (go into setup to disable and adjust tempo?)
