Why?

Thank you. I’m so pleased you found it helpful.

That’s great! Thanks for your comment. Let me know how you get on with your new baritone.

Thanks! Earnie ball bass VI 2837 strings in bass VI standard E.

Hey mate. Yeah I am originally from South Africa but moved to the UK when I was in my early 20s. So I ordered this to my place in London.

I do in another video. These videos are incredibly old now. I should make more with this guitar.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. These videos are so old now. I should really make some new ones with this guitar. I hope you enjoy yours!

Yeah I think they compliment the guitar well. I might actually end up upgrading these pickups one day but I’ll probably get a boutique version of something similar to what’s in there now.

Not sure what this means.

What’s wonderfully kind comment! Thank you so much!

Honestly I can’t remember. It was a big sheet that was left over from some packaging. I just cut it to shape.

I’m actually completely content with the string gauge and intonation of this instrument thanks.

Tbh honest I think I bought it on Amazon years ago and can’t seem to find the original product. It was very cheap and cheerful and there are many near ideal products out there that will fit this guitar with ease

Ernie ball 20-90 6 string bass set

Cheers

I use the Ernie ball 6 2837 string bass guitar set for this guitar.

Haha. Cheers, bru! God knows what my accent is doing these days. It sure thickens up when I’m back in the motherland I believe. Let me know how you get on with the guitar. I think they actually have a newer model of this now.

10-54 with a 74 on the low string. I’ve not restrung it in a while so I might have even gone with something a little heavier on the low string. It’s in drop A. That might seem a like heavy handed for that tuning but I just enjoy a chunkier string on the lower string

Yeah mine has a bit of buzz too but I have managed to improve it some now that I’ve learned how to set up a guitar a little better. It’s such a chug machine with the aftermath pickups in it that I don’t mind too much.

@@rathoquarter lol I can see that, I love mine and I may take the juggernaut route 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Probably tuning more than anything else.

@@rathoquarter I’m just trying to make a decision if I should go for a baritone or a basics. Both of them are 30 inch scales unless I look for like a 27 baritone.

@@rogelioybarra4068 hey mate. I think the decision on what scale length to go for should ideally be based on what you would like to tune the guitar to. I wouldn’t worry too much about the bass VI vs Baritone distinctions personally (though this is very important to some people!) In very basic terms, the longer the scale length, the lower you can tune but the harder it is likely to be to play intricate music, as the distance between frets gets further and further apart. I would say if you want to tune a whole octave below a standard tuned guitar, then between 28-30 inches in scale length will be almost essential in order for the tuning to be stable and the intonation to be accurate. However if you just want to tune down from F#-A then you could almost certainly get away with a 27inch scale.

The Bunn goes into this a lot on the earlier videos on his channel. I would strongly recommend checking those out as he explains this subject very well. Please feel free to ask if you have more questions.

Yeah I started the mood myself and then realised I was going to need to reshape the hole in the pickup ring so in the end I gave it to a local luthier to do the work.

@@rathoquarterThank you my friend for the response.

Thank you so much! I appreciate that very much. Sadly because this video isn’t really advertising anything and it doesn’t have a daft eye-catching title or thumbnail, it’s not likely to get loads of passing traffic. But I don’t really mind. I’m just appreciative of anyone who watches and enjoys the sound and visuals. More on the way. Thanks again for your kind comment.

Hopefully you got a broader sense of the guitar from this video?

Wasn’t aware of the JS22-7 King V but it looks incredible!

@@rathoquarter they either just come out or are coming out soon. I think you have to pre order them right now

It’s my track “Basilisk.” You can find it on any of the streaming platforms or see the video I made for it here: ruclips.net/video/Ru9n3Mjsl8I/видео.htmlsi=movfiXMcMoNhVXfW

I call it a baritone because that’s what the manufacturer calls it. If you watch the full video you will notice that I also refer to it as a Bass VI type instrument. The manufacturer also acknowledges this with the VI in the guitars name. I have had this guitar tuned to E standard, drop D as well as a couple other tunings: does the guitar cease to be a bass VI as soon as the tuning changes? Seems a fairly flimsy basis for naming the instrument to be honest. But please feel to call it whatever you wish. I will continue to refer to the guitar exactly as the designers and manufacturers have named it. Thanks for the comment.

I have no idea to be honest. For drop A you could definitely get away with a shorter scale length than this guitar. I have my 26.5 inch scale Jackson tuned to drop A and it works beautifully

No. The Vintage Modified Baritone Jazzmaster that I’m referring to has a 30 inch scale length.

@@rathoquarter Touche', you're right! Only the tele baritones is 27" while the offsets baritones (Jazz and Jag/BassVI) are all 30"

Honestly I have no idea I’m afraid.

Jesus that sounds incredible. I thought my upgrade was ambitious but you’ve gone too a whole other level there.

@@rathoquarter I didn’t really have anything to lose, as the poor bass was ate up. I won’t lie though, The refret was drama (my first refret) and I must’ve painted that thing at least 5 times before I got one I liked!

It doesn’t seem to be too bad to be honest. Personally I don’t mind a little wear and I do already have a chip in the paint finish on this guitar, but none of the glossiness so far.

@@rathoquarter Thank you!

Thank you very much! I appreciate that. We worked really hard on it so it’s great to have positive feedback like this. Lots of new music (and videos) on the way.

Thank you! That’s very kind of you. Yeah, I think this instrument is a bit of a weird one. I had an incredibly close attachment to it at one point but the love has started to fade a little. Sometimes I just miss playing on a normal guitar with normal string gauges. That Ernie ball set on this guitar does not feel like that at all. Also the urge for metal players to go lower and lower can be weird. Loads of bands are starting to tackle that problem both digitally and with the evertune bridge now. And I’m some ways that’s kind of smart. I’d love to make another video on this whole subject more broadly actually. I have a few pieces of music that I’ve written on the Rogue VI that are quite dear to me (and would like to finish.) Once those are done and out, I will probably put the guitar on sabbatical for a time while I have fun with others in my collection. If you do end up going for some guitar that is in the 30inch scale neighbourhood, I’d also look at the Gretsch jet baritone. More expensive but it’s a classy well made instrument. I just got one and I can see it performing better than this one. Regarding the string lengths: I never really understood this problem because I always used that Ernie ball set and they’ve always been fine but I’m due a restring soon so I guess we’ll see. Thanks again and feel free to let me know if you pull the trigger on a longer scale instrument. I’d love to hear what you choose.

Thanks for watching. The guitar is definitely not for everyone! Be curious to hear if there was some alternative that you did go for?

@@rathoquarter Not yet, sort of looking for a humbucking jazzmaster without the long scale but equally pretty.

I’ve never tried it like that. I also felt no real inclination to try it that way but I’ve been getting quite a few questions like this so I’ve decided to rework a little piece of music I wrote ages ago to try exactly that set up. So I’ll report back to you once I’ve tried. Personally I love a big meaty bass sound though and I’m not sure this guitar or pickups would give you that. But we’ll see how it pans out.

Yeah I get that. It’s an unwieldy beast. My love for it has definitely been wavering recently. But I do have several songs in progress that I’ve written on it, so it won’t be going anywhere soon.

Thank you so much, Sir. Hopefully more videos coming in the future.

I saved your video as a reference for future videos that I will made. Thank you!@@rathoquarter

Nope.
