Baritone as a bass it works!

[Bassistlaw]

The Squire Mini Precision Bass has a 28.6 scale like a baritone guitar so…The “Terrycaster” was born! I made this with a Warmoth body & neck. Roasted swamp ash body. Roasted maple neck. Lefty headstock so the thick part of the E string doesn’t cause trouble going into the tuning key…no need for short scale strings! Off menu request for an undrilled headstock. Individual saddles since most regular bass bridges are too wide. Not too much changed to become a bass.

That's a great idea. I never played "mini bass" ... is it tuned normally? Also, more pics please!

Yes it’s tuned EADG…40 60 80 100 gauges. Also I did the nut myself with a “Zero Glide” zero fret/nut combo. Three Seymour Duncan Hot Rails wired stereo. Middle PU out - bass tones. Neck & bridge out - guitar tones…all processed direct to camera with a Helix Floor. No post processing. Just winging it for the camera, not really a performance or song.

So cool! I will be over in approx 1/2 hr to check it out!

Me too! You could do movie scores with that alone!

That is "just winging it?" Bravo!!!
That is an amazingly unique guitar.
