So it finally arrived... What struck me compared to the Pawn Shop Bass VI is that the tremolo arm is not threaded. Is there any way to keep the Squire tremolo arm from falling out of its jacket except standing still like a pillar of salt while playing?

Problem solved. Apparently the Squier Bass VI comes in different builds (at least that's what was they told me in the store, as I was not the first one to ask for help with the tremolo). Most sites state it comes with an unthreaded tremolo - mine didn't. They exchanged the tremolo arm for a threaded one which fits, and everything's fine now.

Wow, great planning! How was Squier expecting the arm to stay in? Actually I wouldn't use it anyway.

I found this out on my VM Jag, if you push the arm in almost to the bend it will snap into place and not fall out. When I got my Bass Vi the guy goes "the arm won't stay in" I pushed it down a little farther and it snapped into place.
