Blackbird - Beatles Cover, Fender Bass VI Baritone Guitar Demo

Add &fmt=18 to the end of the webaddress for Hi-Def. The cool thing about this build is that it has a 5-way Strat switching system. I'm using the 2nd (neck/middle) position here for a dry percussive banjo type sound, which I thought was appropriate for the song. Neck and body are USA Custom Guitars, pickups are noiseless Dimarzio Area 58 neck, 61 middle, 67 bridge. Custom 5-way switch by Rick Kelly of Carmine Street Guitars. Lake Placid Blue, mint guard, rest of the plastics are white. Labella strings roundwound tuned to A. Recorded with a Studio Projects C1 Large Diaphragm Mic into an Apogee Duet to the Macbook and Garageband with a bit of reverb. Bass VI is going straight into a Matchless Chieftain 1X12 amp with a bit of reverb.

Love the big beefy tone of that Chieftain? Do you still have it? Did you ever do a good vid of just the Chieftain?

[Jahnli]

@dparel sure, check out a demo i did called "3 Amps, 3 Guitars."

[augusrockhouse23]

it is all wrong lern it the proper way

[Jahnli]

@augusrockhouse23 since it's being played on a Bass VI, technically it's not right to begin with anyhow!

[terreurcode]

OMG DONT SING ITS AWFULLLL!!

[Jahnli]

@terreurcode I was the one singing it, and even I agree with you!

[meucury8eye]

Woot I love the fender bass vi. my favourite insrument.

[wbwillie]

@augusrockhouse23 the fender Bass 6 is legitimately a baritone guitar, since the scale is so much shorter than a standard bass and it doesn't use bass pickups

[wbwillie]

you can get a bass 6 neck from warmoth and put it on a regular guitar but you'll have to make the neck pocket a little bigger to accomodate it

[psichomiko]

not a baritone its literally a "bass guitar"

[Jahnli]

@AHintOfReality E A D G B E on the Bass VI 30" scale length, 026w 035w 044w 056w 075w 095w so it's like a shortscale bass, think Mustang Bass or Guild Starfire Bass, Gibson EB series and so on.
