I like how the wiggle stick stays in the position you leave it at rather than letting gravity flop it down when you let go (like it does on my Squier CV VI) however the plastic trem tip doesn't seem to want to stay on the wiggle stick. The tip end of the stick is threaded, but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding thread inside the tip for it to bite into, so I haven't been able to get it to stay attached. Any ideas?

FTR: the tip on my Vinterra stays put.

I fixed the tip issue by putting a little masking tape on the threaded end and screwing on the plastic tip. It is now firmly seated and isn't going anywhere.

 

I have now shimmed and set up the bass using my experience of setting up my classic vibe to guide me. Like the classic vibe it now has a set of La Bella flats on.

 

The Vintera exudes quality. As much as I like the Classic Vibe, the vintera just seems a lot more classy.
