Thank you for the introduction to the bajo! Such a cool sounding instrument!!
I wanna hear Kass's Theme (Breath of the Wild) played on this instrument
Man I’m from Texas brother the rio grande valley and I know the sounds of this beautiful instrument the conjunto music the Polkas everything man keep it up brother I have family members who play polka’d and just am very familiar with this music
956 Cuh!
There's plenty of good names out there new and old all good instruments It really comes down to preference For me there's not a doubt in my mind that anyone that knows about bajo sextos knows the best are made in San Antonio Texas many builders have tried and still are trying till this day to copy or compare it to a Macias you can git close with the look but not that sound Macias for me are hands down on top #1
I bought the gold sparkle Jimenez, installed a emg acs pickup and wow it’s has an awesome sound I recommend it…way better than other known brands
Awesome playing, great guitar!
It does sound like a Mandocello
It’s a Bajo quintoooo!!
Honestly For $400-$700(with pickup) they ain’t bad. I’ve had one for about 2 months and It sounds well. I’m about to Buy an Hernández but I won’t be ditching my Jimenez. I like how it sounds. Just want something That’s Professional
Nice. Imagine taking a gnarly solo on one of these.

The Thin Bodied Bat Model (my favorite) sounds exactly like a Mandocello because its body depth is identical to a Mandocello.
When you started talking about truss rods, I nearly choked on my coffee. Bro... just don't get technical if you don't know.
You can also play Klezmer on Bajo Sexto to music from Hernandez Hideaway, & they're a fusion group. They combine Klezmer with Bluegrass.
As far as acoustic guitars go, I might forgo regular acoustics in favor of a bajo quinto. Beautiful resonance.
Can y’all make a video on cantabella bajo quinto?
3:17 Bajo Boogie makes me wanna bring a Pianist here
I just bought this same exact guitar😍
It's essentially a 12 String Bass-Baritone Guitar and if you Drop the two Highest pairs of Strings down a half step you can tune it an Octave below the Guitar and cover anything you know like for example Bachs Violin Concerto in E Major but on Bajo Sexto.
Tex Mex music is basically Oberkrainer music with an alternative instrumentation
Sam Ash Music It sounds like a Mandocello which is a Mandolin member tuned an Octave lower than a Cello.
Just my opinion, the mandocello has more of a guitar sound, which btw I love. I might get one. lol. The Bajo Quinto has a Twangy sound because of the two lower octaved strings. That is one of the things that makes the Bajo Quinto unique.
@@konjunto2477 The Octave Strings balance out the low & high ends.
@@RockStarOscarStern634 Never looked at it that way, But I guess your correct. One learns new tricks every day! lol
Are they all the same specs

I've played the Bajo Sexto there once I've played Maple Leaf Rag on it by using the Guitar tuning which is one octave below a regular Guitar. This instrument has made a good substitute for the Diatonic Accordion's Bass Keyboard because it's fully Chromatic & can play in every key, using the Left Hand Bass Keyboard of the Button Accordion w/ the Right hand in Tex Mex might be ideal for home covers. When I 1'st picked up the Bajo Sexto I saw that it's very ornate on the Body. The Fender Bass VI is really a Solid Body Electric Bajo Sexto made by Fender used in Rock Music. The Bass VI can play Tex Mex, Rock (if you listened to Birthday by the Beatles they used a Fender Bass VI instead of the Hofner Beatles Bass which could work in that song too).
I feel like this would sound amazing in an open drop tuning.
They already are tuned a octave lower than a guitar
@@JuanHernandez-vy4ee yeah but imagine tuning it to open d or something. It'd sound really cool.
@@who_cares848 yeah prolly, hey I have one, give me a week and I’ll have uploaded a video in drop d
What was that first rock and roll song he was playing ?
just basic 12 bar blues
@@elvergalarga4461 Can the Bajo Sexto be used in Church as well? It works well in Worship Bands if ya wanna add a bit of Tex Mex to the Hymn. If a person took the Bajo Sexto to a Public Piano and played it with the Pianist something interesting might happen.
@@elvergalarga4461 I liked how, when he was playing blues, he never hit the bass string.
Amigo que tipo de amp m recomiendas para bajo quinto
EMG
FISHMAN
So which model is he playing at the start of the video? The one on Sam Ash site looks totally different, Could be the website does not bring out the shine!
Una cosa que me gusta de los bajos Jimenez es, que tienen 12 trastes en el diapason,no se si todos pero kisas casi todos
What material are the H. Jimenez Frets made from? Thank you.
So does this Bajo take ball end strings?
Sam Ash Music It sounds alot like a Mandocello
this is the closest I have found to the sound of the mandocello without the mandocello price

The Bajo Quinto & Bajo Sexto aka Grizzly Bear of the Guitar Family or Bass-Baritone Guitar (Cause it has a Bass Baritone Voice like on of my Mom's Friends from Choir) makes a great substitute for the Button Accordion's Bass Keyboard.
Where is it made?
2 dislikes are the guys that gave up playing
All the strings are wound
Can anyone tell me wish song en record hi plays with the tolling stones?
Flaco and Max recorded sweethearts together on the voodoo lounge cd
.... "It's a great instrument for guitarists to switch over to because it has a truss rod......" hilarious !!
Yeah plus it has a rather skinny neck with the same old string spacing.
Earlier ones did not have truss rods and therefore had high action. Bajo Quintos are becoming more mainstream. If you are innovative think of including one of these in your band. No different than throwing in a banjo or Mandolin etc....
Christ... I choked on my coffee when I heard that. Fucking classic.
What's the tunning ?
out
@@AlexHand They're tuned in Fourths but they can be tuned an Octave below the Guitar just by Dropping the first 2 pairs of strings down a half step. I once tuned a Bajo Sexto an Octave below the Guitar and played some Bach on it which was very classical. I even played Fur Elise by Beethoven on the Bajo Sexto which made me think "hey why not arrange Beethoven's Violin Concerto for Bajo Sexto"? The Bajo Sexto tuned like a Guitar but an Octave lower reads in Treble Clef but sounds 2 Octaves lower than written.
CircuitsAndStrings 2 Mr Stern so ADGBe?
@@AlexHand Yes and the Bajo Sexto adds on a Low E. So with a Bajo Sexto tuned EADGBE you can also cover any Classical Violin music from Bach like for example Bach's A Minor Violin Concerto (Barenreiter Edition Piano Reduction Score, Solo violin part will sound 2 Octaves lower than written).
@@AlexHand haven't you heard Bachs A Minor Violin Concerto played on a Bajo Sexto?
I love and respect Baca as a player, but "truss rod offers intonation for tuning" is an entirely erroneous and misleading statement. The distributor that hired him to represent the instrument should have supplied him with some correct technical information and/or a basic script that he perhaps could have memorized so he does not sound like a fool...perhaps he is not being paid enough to not sound like a fool? Glad to see a musician with a gig anyhow...
I think what he meant was that earlier versions when the bajo quintos and sextos first came out lacked in quality and did not include a truss rod. Having the truss rod makes it easier overall to adjust the neck, thus contributing to better action , thus contributing to the intonation. Don't be so quick to critize take the good , throw out the bad on march on. There is to much negativity and trolling in todays world. Music is a universal language.
Versatility is not an accolades this instrument boasts. Its a regional instrument with limited capabilities.
Hecho en China 👎👎👎
@@earthlingdad Its different taking money from some other business than destroying an economy of artesans in a relatively poor country lmao luckily they still make them better in Mexico for the same price
martin araujo mexican artisans can make one for half and it’ll last you years. And you’ll probably know who’s making it for you.
@@xeazlouro Facts, I can think of 3 builders off the top of my head who make solid bajos at this price point
@@martinaraujo2555who, and can i order one to the states?
