Danelectro Baritone Guitar / 6-string bass thingy

Shannon · 10-23-2006, 03:32 PM

They have one of these in this color used at GC right now & man, I'm jonesing for it. I really miss my old one. 30" scale tuned one octave down.

Should I get it?

If I said that it was gay looking, and that you'd look fagoriffic playing it, would it matter?

What if I mentioned that we have a Bass forum now?

Add some humbuckers and a floyd and you're set.

You are correct. They ain't the coolest looking guitars in the world, so no, it doesn't matter.

However, if you slap on a set of 24-84 gauge strings, you essentially have a 6-string bass tuned in E. I am a big fan of the snappy tone it produces. It's kind of like a Rickenbacker.

Well technically, it is a baritone guitar. They come stock with 14-68 strings tuned in either B or A. Jumping up to the 24-84 makes it a bass....sorta.

I was thinking of picking it up and paying you to make a much cooler body!

With all my bass playing excursions lately, it would be cool to have essentially a short-scale 6-string bass.
