Bass VI players....

[tylereot]

I'd love to hear what you do with your Bass VI.  Sound clips, videos especially welcome.
(Yeah, I'm trying to give myself a good reason...)

I tried one once, loved it. GREAT guitar for surf.

Go for it!!! :headbang1:

You better be making the twin for that beautiful moon jazzmaster!  :toothy10:

Also frettedamericana has quite a few videos of bass6's.

 

[tylereot]

Yeah, I've seen PhilX's videos. 
But I'm not going to build a guitar to goof around with.
I've got a couple of ideas, but I thought there would be people on this forum who've actually built and USED one. 

 

[alterbridgefan]

Build another jazzmaster, baritone neck, the Ernie ball beefy slinkies, tune it way down, gfs lipstick tubes, dress it up like your jazzmaster, and start a surf band.

Or you could give it to me.

 

[tylereot]

Well I looked up a few, just to get an idea what they really do.  Here's a guy who has some ideas...
Ah...well, I guess 'embed' doesn't work on this forum.

I have an idea, build the Bass 6 and of you don't like, just send it to me, I'll give it a good home.  :laughing3:

It's kinda n00bish to need a reason. Just saying.  :icon_jokercolor:

Well, I AM a nOOb.  And should I be taking advice from a guy with 7 Warmoths in solid colors?  :glasses10:

Absolutely not. But after the weekend I should have # 8 finished and ready. And then my advices will be lot better. :toothy12:

Here's a very cool track including a Jazzmaster, an Electric XII and a  Bass VI.

It's very cool, but I'm still not sure how I'd ever use the darn thing.

I think I'd probably just go for a baritone tuning; I've never much cared for tic-tac bass, I'd really likely only try to play Cure songs, and you can accomplish that on a baritone, anyway...

 

[tylereot]

Yeah, Corey, I'm starting to wonder if I wouldn't get as much/more utility out of a 7 string.
Hm.. 7 string Jazzmaster.... Hm....
