@@BleachedCoralthanks for the comment, what scale length is your bass? Where did you get the strings. I did find some bigger strings for this scale length through Kalium but they still haven’t arrived yet… 🤔 seems like bigger strings for short scale basses is harder to find…

Hi! It’s a 30”. Ernie Ball make a pack of roundwound super slinky 45-105 for short scale Basses. Pretty pricey but they sound great

@@stitchesburn6148 technically yes. But it is like just the start of “baritone scales”…

@@bb_lz9790 thank you for the suggestion. I did already get some pickups. I just need to do it already lol…

@@bb_lz9790 good question… let me look. It’s been a while… I believe it was these: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/760FM-S--la-bella-760fm-deep-talkin-bass-flatwound-bass-strings-medium-short-scale So 109 instead of 110 I guess… Kalium offers a lot of bass and guitar string sizes… I ordered some strings back in July… still waiting for the package though… 🤔

@@MetalGuitarGuy Thanks!

@ you’re welcome!

@@DrDizzleFrizzle bass VI’s are cool. I don’t think this bass guitar's fretboard is wide enough for 6 strings though, even in guitar spacing. The neck/fretboard is more narrow than a 6 string guitar. If you really want a bass VI though there are some cheaper ones out there that are decent. I will link them here in a minute… There is the Harley Benton Guitarbass VS. I own one and it sounds pretty good actually. only 200 bucks www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_guitarbass_vs_vintage_series.htm Me playing with the Harley Benton ruclips.net/video/P9yGqVc8leA/видео.html Another one is a Firefly guitar. I don't own one of these but my friend owns a firefly. I did some work on it. both of us were blown away by the quality for the price... guitarsgarden.com/products/ffja-electric-guitars-cream-color-cm?srsltid=AfmBOoqdQzYO9woj3HOrxU5UbeAjgStxcfwvVRWAruJGtD5IbN6BWwH2

@@MetalGuitarGuy the narrow neck is precisely why I want to convert it haha. there have been a few guitars made with a 1.5" nut and that absolutely changed everything for me. It's kinda weird since I have baseball mit hands with sausage fingers, but I've also played a lot of mandolin, ukulele, banjo, etc over the years, so I guess thin necks jus feel like home. On this subject, I'm also considering converting a cheap p-bass copy that I've HEAVILY modified into a 5 string because I hate the string spacing...though I did already narrow that neck to around 1.59" which might just be pushing it too far haha. I definitely plan to find a 5 string with a narrow neck to convert into a 6 string. I really like the design of the Music Man John Myung, but I want it a bit more narrow, something like Les Claypool's fretted 6 string from the 90s. That thing can't be much more than a 1.68" guitar nut haha

@@MetalGuitarGuy also, i've been looking into firefly for awhile, they're one of those companies making absurdly good guitars for dirt cheap to get a firm foothold in the industry before spiking their prices. Grote seems to be the first one to do the price jump with models in the 400-600 range. There's still Leo Jaymes, Westcreek, CNZ, Bullfighter, IYV, Censtar, and so on trying to do the same. On the one hand, being extremely poor, it's a super exciting time to be into music, but on the other hand...not being a fan of slavery, it makes it feel more complicated haha. Anyway, my buddy has a Mikro as just a bass to have if anyone wants to play, and I've loved that thing for awhile, so I went with it instead. I also just like the idea of it being even shorter in scale lol

@@DrDizzleFrizzle well good luck with the conversion if you do do it. 🤞🏻 let me know how it turns out. I do think a reverse headstock would be really handy also for short scale bass/baritone guitar territory. That way you can use bigger sstrings without worrying if it will fit in the tuner on the low end…. Cause you know extra length and the strings taper down after a certain distance… but yeah, good luck. Bro!

@@Doowopsid glad I could help.

@@The_riffologist it is a Jackson SL7A unicorn white finish. I’ve been seeing some on sale lately. It is a bad ass guitar. I did a review video on it too… ruclips.net/video/DaHn248i7mA/видео.htmlsi=MABQsPQrrSUCmvt-

@@Fardeen. hey thanks. When doing Guitar mods, it definitely helps to think through it before even starting, go slowly, and watch other RUclips videos of the same or similar type of mod…

@@MetalGuitarGuy thanks for the advice i want to eventually add some shielding to my bass in a year or two so i’ll keep it in mind

The only problem I could foresee with this idea it that the fretboard is actually narrower than a 6 string guitar’s fretboard. So it would have to be like a 5 string guitar and using individual String saddles, and cut a new nut…

@@jeromewagschal9485 not lying… lol

@@JD-vj4go yeah the belt sander helps a lot for mods like this… most of the sanding I did with the belt sander. Just so much faster…

@@Ryan_Sens thank you! yeah I think if I do this on another guitar in the future, I will probably stain the wood after sanding it down. I did put sanding sealer and Satin top coat on the sanded area so that should protect the wood from my sweat… 🤔🤞🏻

Thanks for the comment. If you look very closely at the bridges on the LTd TE-200DX and on the Schecter standard series PT, the bridge on the Schecter is clearly thicker. They are definitely a similar design but a little different. That is a bummer about the Charvel you tried out but cheers on the new LTD, I almost got one myself...

Ive had great fretwork on both brands.

lol interesting… now I gotta watch one of his videos to see how similar our voices really sound… 🤔

Yeah money definitely talks, its nice to find things on sale. I got this Legator for a discounted price, lucky me, even though there's nothing wrong with the finish... I'm gonna google your guitar now...

@@GuitarGuy4647 I don’t know, bro… 🤔

@@MetalGuitarGuy like, the cutaway alone won’t get them sued so long as the headstock is different which they are. It’s just always frustrated me since you can get extremely well spec’d, modern Agile LPs but I can’t get over the shape.

@@GuitarGuy4647 I used to obsess over cutaways and headstocks too… Honestly now I think most brands do a good job except Jackson’s Monarkh shape, the cutaway definitely looks weird… 🤔

@@garywalling4341 lol… 😆 it is, yes… I filmed this before I even started a RUclips channel… didn’t really know what I was doing then…

@@lordovthorn2747 nope, sorry, you’re wrong. I’ve already proved it’s possible with a 25.5 inch scale guitar…ruclips.net/video/xQj3pFnN0h4/видео.htmlsi=MkQSnlT2zy1WyMTO

@@MetalGuitarGuy bro it sounds like crap lol

@@Hyperlink1337 hey thanks! I used a 90 Gauge string. But I also had to have a bridge that would do the job. I recommend watching this video: ruclips.net/video/xQj3pFnN0h4/видео.htmlsi=G24TV-KvIsjGezZ4 Some people say the guitars are muddy lol I guess not everyone hears the same… I also had to file the nut slots to the correct sizes for the strings… I am going to do a full setup video in the future but in my experience the amount of string tension also determines how far back the Saddle needs to go…

@@MetalGuitarGuy clarity and intonation aren't huge dealbreakers to me, but if you're going to play more modern stuff then you'll probably run into people that are more used to low tuned guitars sounding totally gutted of their mids and low end

@@chocolatecookie8571 do you mean 25.5 inch scale necks?

@@MetalGuitarGuy no, 25. There are many 7 string guitars with 25.5 but very few with 25

@@chocolatecookie8571 Gotchya… I think that is cause most people prefer a longer scale length for 7 strings… I have seen a few 24.75 inch seven strings out there… 🤔

You're welcome

@@IronDeadPumpkin well more mass=more sustain. That’s how I did it with the previous locking tuners and this guitar has always stayed in tune really well for not having an evertune… 🤔… thank you for your comment though.

@@MetalGuitarGuy love your content man, but headless guitars have just way less mass and still sustain as long as a full body guitar

@@IronDeadPumpkin I have never played a headless guitar, I am curious, Do you have a video to show the sustain of a headless guitar and a normal guitar side by side?

Not good either. 😎. No groove whatsoever.

@@MetalGuitarGuy thank you

@@Lordbaccus he is the guitarist and founding member of the death metal band NILE. He has also released a few instrumental albums…

@@rybo0072 I think I had the gain up a little too high when I made the mix. I will adjust the gain comparing the baritone to this guitar in the video coming up. I think you will be surprised…

Well it is the first RUclips short I ever made so far… so… thanks? 🤔
