[Socioistic]

I wonder if he ever learned the words to Black Knight...

[JackCarver10]

So far, you played and sang that particular Deep Purple song in all three six-string-bassguitar videos ...

[EastEndPromises]

omg, its terible!!!!! nasty, but its rare

[synth77]

@EastEndPromises Are you a guitarist or bassist.

[cheesybrisbane]

phil unknowingly taught me how to play black night. god i wish i could afford one of these or a bass vi

[Jjosh1358]

5:14 sounds like qotsa or eagles of death metal

[illfortune921]

i think he likes Black Night

[giggs102]

id rather hav the fender bass VI

[achickensandwich]

@giggs102 I'd be over the moon with either to be honest

[warpigs020]

I looked up this baritone guitar because I was curious about the instrument Wes Montgomery used on his album Movin' Along. Unfortunately I had to listen to this goober wank some crap on it as he doesn't know how to express the potential of this instrument. For anyone who is interested in a good demonstration of this instrument listen to Wes Montgomery play Body and Soul on Movin' Along. Or I suppose we could listen to this guy play Smoke on the Water...

[giggs102]

@warpigs020 this guys a guitar player..hes a fucken badass guitar player..watch some of his guitar songs

[shuckslbj]

Hey man, I like you. I also really dig this guitar. I've been wanting to get a baritone even lower - not for heavier metal or spookier Spaghetti Western, but just for an even fuller tone. Is there anything like this or the Fender Bass VI that a young guy like me would be able to afford?

[DannyDelReyo]

That Deep Purple song, Black Night, sounds very similiar to Blue Magoos "We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet".

[1pixle]

fell in love at 5:40 if it weren't wrong to make sweet sweet love to that... i so would. and we would make musical children

[RobLow18Car]

That tone is fierce!

[maartnbaele]

blown off my chair at 4:36 . then fell in love at 4:42

[BLEACH01Z]

all the best basses have a f-hole. i think i know y people fuck them

[StoicUnderground]

what a tool. this weiner should commit seppeku

[alessandro9TR]

amazing sound!!!..... I didn't know that val kilmer played guitar......<3<3<3

[196hunter]

how many have you stole



[lostandwounded]

sounds perfect to play the cure stuff....alternative: fender vi (bass)

[megamicron]

I will talk with the IMF to get a loan. I would love to know how the chords sounds like

[megamicron]

I will talk with the IMF to get a loan

[Glockenator]

What the hell was that noise after you said your name? I've never heard anybody make that kind of noise. But then again, we are all just mere mortals, unlike you

[Verbeke1992]

Is PhilX from the great white north? I detect a subtle hint of the accent slip through now and then...

[Glockenator]

@Verbeke1992 Yep. He and I share the same country. He's from Toronto

[andrewcy17]

bad monkey sauce lol

[CubeableGame]

Are those guitar strings or bass strings? And the neck, is is the classic bass scale? Anyone knows, please reply!

[Coal48]

@CubeableGame : light or even custom bass strings but not guitar

[CCRockit]

RIGHT Phil X "Borrow" not Steal

well if you dont steal it someone will think of it that way lol

[kaz3kag3gaara]

Oh, really hard to play as a bass you say?

I wonder why there were so few made.

[Glockenator]

I wanna stick my truss rod in those f-holes, if you get what I mean.

[hippie1022]

@Glockenator I want to plug my !4 inch mono plug into that 1/4 inch mono jack if you know what i mean

I fant to finger some notes if you know what i mean

[AlexDeMars123]

@hippie1022 It's only 4 inches? heheh

[Glockenator]

@hippie1022 Only 4 inches? Kinda puny, eh? Or is it just cold?

[NonsenseProphet]

Really nice tones on this one! How much is the DC of the pickup?

Thanks

Fernando

[LaPoPay]

someone knows what is the name of the song he sings in 2:03 ? (the short joke) greaqt demo!! fukin amazing guitar!!!!!

[OliverFranzon]

"9 To 5" by Dolly Parton.

[adamweb]

best job in the world!

[C1o88er3d]

Is that a killswitch or is it missing a knob?

[inagaty]

@C1o88er3d it is the "baritone" switch, moves the tone from very bass to a comparatively high pitch. Same as on the EB2 Semi-Hollowbocy bass.

[kyzrvlhlm1995]

it's a bass boost/cut switch

[Glockenator]

@C1o88er3d It's the Baritone. It changes the tone from bass-y to higher pitch.

[mgr800]

this guy is fucking awful

[JTMagnum23]

Gibson should so reissue this, but modified!

[henry12350]

what kind of strings is he useing? bass or guitar strings?

[gryzlov]

Bass strings. It's a special set of bass strings, though.

[kristopher081]

They are a special gauge. They are technically "bass" strings but range from .25 on the highest to .95 on the lowest string.

[Muzikman127]

I would love to digitech whammy this up the octave just to fuck with people.

I wonder what that would sound like....

[pevspaintballer]

@Muzikman127 hahahaha

[SE4GY7]

for sure

[djeboe]

this is a total rare bird instrument. I can't remember what version there are more of in the EB-6, the hollow body 335 style, or the solid body SG style. Either way, there were not a lot. Gibson was trying to cash in on the tic-tac bass craze Danelectro had created, and I don't think they saw it as a success, either that or the Fender Bass VI killed it when it came out, with it's tremolo system and everything.

[kristopher081]

Best "bass" ever made.

[TrevorandGui]

That thing is a beast!

[csrogers87]

That tone sounds very (N.I.B.) Black Sabbath-ish!!!

[philx1111]

Damn. I shoulda played that.

[csrogers87]

That tone sound very N.I.B. Black Sabbath-ish!!!

[wasdead917]

lol

[lucaslovespie]

see thats how cliff would play. he'd put that fuckin overdrive on there, slap on a whammy and go to fucking TOWN on that shit. sexy bass though, i like it

[JTMagnum23]

I want something just like that

[JTMagnum23]

O.O HOLY SHIT!

[SE4GY7]

so is it tuned beadgb then?

[philx1111]

@SE4GY7

no. E to E. like if a bass with a high B and E

[slashthebestone]

awasome bass! hahaha Phil X reminds me of Tommy Lee!

[mean0machine0]

so the tuning would be an octave lower than a normal guitar ay?

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

That just sounds awesome.

[RayZR]

I was pretty impressed, but when you started playing "Sunshine of Your Love", I was blown away. Freaking great!

[hurricaneofrock]

I thought that you couldnt plug a bass into a guitar amp or it'd blow out the amp.

[Chasefast]

LOL 1:13 fail ! But funny though.

[PortNeau]

why fail? :D phil u rock

[Chasefast]

LMFAO ! Phil X was like "Theres another guitar I might steal, I mean borrow" LOLOLOL!

[cavedweller1996]

so is this a guitar or a bass

[UrSkulled]

bass

[Guitarplayer219]

Obviously a bass..

[drockadam6]

Thats amazing, It must be hard to play cause of the close 6 strings!

[holemaster123]

i dont believed, that this is a bass, until he first played notes :)

[Galgofrit]

What song is on 4:43?

[mattposty]

sunshine of your love - Cream

[mourningleaves]

sunshine of your love - cream

[lopezpk123]

cream - sunshine of your love

[henningelana]

sunshine of your love by cream

[superdodo11]

The sunshine of your love by cream

[mean0machine0]

sunshine of your love

[Arantir666]

Cream- Sunshine of Your Love:)

[achickensandwich]

What a coincedence that a just ordered a VI bass (a Gretsch). If I ever even get to play one of these I might fall over and die.

[TheDrinke]

amazing man! sunshine of your love has some little bends when the riff is like comin back! crazy man! try hearin it!

[HendrikReese]

cool

[101Volts]

Good gravy, The bass sounds fantastic at 4:38. I've never really heard anything else like it.

[UrSkulled]

Listen to Cliff Burton, great bass tone.

[fdeckard]

weird

[whitestripebuzz]

I wanna have sex with that sunshine of your love tone, twice.

[AgnosticFonts00]

Manic depression sounds great. And the Bass sounds great with distortion.
