  • Wow! Very nice man! This bass looks exactly like a Carvin 6 string I played years ago. Just like it. Very good video! Nice job!

  • can you please help us with the scales used between 1:12 and 1:52?...think my ear is still not used to jazz...

  • crazy

  • @rockin982 Thanks for pointing that out. :)

  • @ethsailliamswa Whats desirable about them is that you have a four string bass with an extended range in both directions. You can go down to B, which is important to the sound of genres like gospel and R&B, and you can also go higher for soloing while staying "in the box" if you know anything about four finger fretting technique. It's not just a guitar an octave lower, it's a bass with extra range so you can do more. Now how you choose to play it is another matter ...

  • I'm not gonna call myself a "Hater" to six string basses, but what is so desirable about them? In my opinion it just seems like a normal guitar gone down an octave or so....

  • Beautiful BMT6EG from one BMT6EG owner to another!

  • baritone guitars are completely different from six string basses, the baritone is basically a lower sounding guitar while a six string bass is a modified bass, and the first six string bass was made by anthony jackson which he called a contrabass, NOT a baritone, by the way eadgbe tuning on a six is an insult to most bassist :S

  • @1FenderGuy Hm.. I'm not so sure if i'll like that. BEADGC is good enough for me, plus in my opion, EADGBE tuning for a bass, is allmost like you are a wannabe guitarist. i love too play with a low B string, so i'll keep it like that!

  • @Basstard22 Just try EADGBE tuning and see how it sounds.
