Valdez jumbo bajo sexto

We finished this bajo in the middle of this year. It took me, with my dads help here and there longer than usual to build. There were a bunch of obsticals I had to over come during this build. Every thing turned out well. The bajo looks and sounds great. This bajo is the first of this size body for us to build, a jumbo size body. The larger size body produces more volume and a more fuller tone. We delivered the bajo a few months ago to Mr. Jose ''Joe'' Valdez, who was very happy with the instrument. I am still learning to play the bajo, I can play the guitar a bit and some drums.

what does it mean by jumbo" bajosexto

[jimenezbajos]

the''Jumbo bajo'' has a bit larger body. It has a bigger and more improved tone and sound. I dezigned it to be played unplugged but after the first one was built we found that it just sounded bigger and better overall. Not to say that the standard bajo we build does not sound great, because it does sound great, but the jumbo just takes it to higher level.

how much would a bajo quinto cost. let me know i am really intrested.

[jimenezbajos]

this bajo is a jumbo bajosexto it has inlay around the sound hole and on the edge of the body the inlay is paua shell. A standard jumbo bajosexto is $2700 and the inlay on this bajo was $440 the total for this bajo $3140 This bajo turned out very well in appearance and sound, when finished there was a modest pick guard placed at the sound hole, the size of this instrument really brings out the low full tone of the bajosexto instrument. This bajo has a real nice classic bajo look and full sound.
