- I got the white SubZero Rogue VI 30" baritone guitar which is tuned to e-standard but an octave lower so it's kinda like a 6-string bass except it feels like a guitar.
Please consider subscribing!
Really nice, mate! Great matter of fact, to the point video with lovely tones and playing. Looking forward to seeing what you make with the guitar!
Thank you! I'm doing a followup video now that I've upgraded the pickups and I'll go a bit more into why I'm keeping the guitar as opposed to keeping the HB baritone guitar that is the same scale length and tuning. Thanks for watching!
God i want one
These things are awesome - I've modded mine a ton and I love it
Cool, what have you done to yours?
@@geirisk8
Lundgren M6 pickups
Hipshot open gear locking tuners
New nut
Killswitch replaces volume knob, volume knob moved to tone knob placement, tone knob removed
New switch
New volume pot
I can see myself upgrading to a better tune o matic bridge in the future and maybe adding stainless steel frets.
There's a short video of it on my youtube
@@thomasreuter1614 So is this essentially even the same guitar?
@@CFChristianthe guitar of Theseus
oh man i want this exact guitar but they offer now one with a black headstock which is pretty ugly ... :/
Got this guitar and it's pretty good! Except the the nut job was kinda crummy and a little bit of the binding in the headstock.
Check out Keyan's video on putting BKP Impulse pickups in it. There is an improvement, but honestly, for high gain, the stock pickups actually hold up pretty well. If you switch to SD's, please. ake sure you make a video demoing the before/after differences please!
Yeah I've put the Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb pickup in the bridge and it is better but you're right about the stock ones being pretty decent!
I put Lundgrens in mine, and you're right about the nut - I got a new one and it's way better
@@thomasreuter1614 which Lundgren?
@@XChristianNoirX M6
@@thomasreuter1614 i have the M6 in a Kiesel and its one of the pickups I most dislike in my arsenal. However, it's not tuned that low and has way thinner strings because of the shorter scale length etc.. So maybe its not the right pickup for that guitar... Maybe I'll swap it in to try, when I get around to it.
On my Kiesel, it has a really pokey, brittle, skinny, high frequency spike that isn't too pleasing. But i suppose it mkght work in the Rogue.
I'm looking at this or the Harley Benton Guitarbass. I own a Harley Benton JA-60 and love it. However, for the 30" scale guitars, I like that the SubZero has Humucker routing otherwise I'd just get the Harley Benton. Which one do you think is a better quality guitar?
Silly question, but have you looked inside the electronics cavity? I wonder if these pickups have four conductor wiring and can be coil split. I much prefer this design to the harley benton, but I love the extreme twang of a single coil baritone
Looks beautiful and sounds great too!
Thank you! Yeah it's better now with a new bridge pickup. Video on that soon!
@@geirisk8 looking forward to that video!
hi, what kind of strings work for this tuning? cheers
I love the fret blocks on white body!!!
I love the looks of this one!
This is a weird question but how hard do you have to press down for such thick strings. I've been struggling with some wrist and arm pain in my fretting hand and have always wanted a baritone. I'm just worried it will be really hard on my hands.
Do you have access to a bass? It won't be the same obviously, but it should help tell you if your pain responds badly to thicker strings and a more physically demanding instrument.
Bro, is the guitar super heavy and uncomfortable ?
what's that guitar in the back?:D looks super cool. i want one
What tuning did you use? I tried to tune mine to B standard but broke a string due to the tension haha
What I thought that's the standard tuning for these tho
@@naivedays5421 found that it‘s E standard
@@mdnix but that'd be higher
@@naivedays5421 An octave lower than your usual guitar tuned in E I meant
Happy #NGD brother.

Thank you!!
Hell yeah,The white one came in!!!
Hells yeah!!
For the price I think I might cop one just as a platform to build off of.
What kind of pickup did you say you were gonna add?
I was wondering about the packaging.
I've got one of these and I don't know how to tune it. Any help? Also what strings would you use to replace the old ones? Thanks!
Hi again, I tried b standard but strings 5 and 6 broke. Any help please?
Try 13 gauge strings, in A standard tuning
Do you use the standard Bass VI strings?
Killer man! I think I may pick one of these up before the paradigm Tele. What amp are you using?
Terrific riffs!
Any chance you can review it later on as a bass? I see the Harley benton one you tried previously usually played as a bass/guitar hybrid, but this one is almost always used as a metal guitar with tons of distortion, and it's frustrating since I kinda wanna hear it played as a bass with maybe only mild distortion/drive. I'm torn between this and the Harley benton one, I'm gonna use it in a melodic death metal band
Great videos!
What did you buy?
Enjoyed your videos Ásgeir Þrastarson, and just seek your advice.
Im caught between going for this Rogue VI or the SubZero Paradigm Baritone you reviewed previously.
Do you have a preference between them in terms of tone, build quality and playability?
Having watched both your videos I think the SubZero Paradigm Baritone might be best for me even if its not as good looking as the all white Rogue. What advice or feedback do you have comparing the two?
Thanks for your videos. Im subbed.
I can't say a whole lot cuz I havent played either but the rogue vi has a 30" scale and the paradigm has a 27" scale, which is a big difference so that would be your deciding factor. The 27" scale is standard baritone range for tunings like B standard or whatever, whereas a 30" scale is more of a bass vi, tuned an octave below standard or thereabouts. Depends what register you're aiming for.
@@alexwales8914 thanks for the advice. I think I'm more looking at the 27" as I'm mainly wanting a 7string style tuning for nu metal on a 6 string rather than the djenty stuff for now. Will buy one and experiment. All the best.
Definitely a great Mod base.👍🤘🔥
Yeah I've already swapped out the bridge pickup ;) Video on that soon!
U need to show us that HB Telecaster in the back! Looks awesome!!
Coming soon ;)
Must be similar to a Boss Octave pedal ??
Not a baritone.
Uhhh, it definitely is
why wouldn't you consider a 30" scale to be a baritone?
While there are some 30" or near 30" instruments that are baritones (the Gretsch and the Danelectro are 29.75). A baritone is different than a Bass VI which is what the SubZero Rogue actually is. The original bass VI instruments are the Danelectro short scale six string bass (1956) and the Fender bass VI (1961). Current incarnations like the SubZero Rogue, the Harley Benton VS, and the Squire Bass VI are all modeled after these basses as they are tuned E to E but an octave lower than a regular guitar (several steps lower than a baritone which is tuned to A, B, or C below E2). The Rogue is set up for string gauge of 24-84 (with all six strings being wound strings) which is the main thing besides the 30" scale and tuning to E1 that makes these bass VI instruments rather than baritones. A baritone is usually 27" but even the longer scale ones use strings lighter than a bass VI (around 14 to 62) and the two high strings are plain (not wound) on a baritone. These may seem like somewhat subtle differences but make a baritone a rather different instrument than a Bass VI just as a baritone is obviously a different instrument than a standard guitar.
