Time for EMG to give Ray a signature baritone pickup set 🤘🔥🔥🤘
A boy can dream
@@xanderraymondcharles I believe in you, you'll get there someday homie no doubt about it👍
Man, I saw this on their website, thought about it, and when I went back they were gone. If they do another run, I'm definitely in. Sounds great!
Weird idea here, X-Ray. (Sorry, couldn't resist. If you don't like it, let me know and you'll never see it again.) If you don't like the stock pickups and think single coils might do you better, why not try P-94 style pickups? They'll fit into a humbucker slot (That's what they're FOR!) while giving you a fatter single coil tone that might sit well with the baritone's thicker strings and longer scale length. Maybe get a cheap set off Amazon or eBay before or instead of committing Gibson-level scratch for the upgrade.
P-94s are a huge upgrade for just about any guitar in my opinion. There’s just so much more clarity vs a humbucker.
What is a P94 pickup? I have heard of a P90, but not a P94
@@TorqueBow It’s basically just a humbucker sized P-90, so you don’t need to modify your guitar by making the pickup cavities bigger.
@@TorqueBow A P-94 is only a regular P-90 coil mounted in a humbucker casing. This packaging allows a guitar routed for humbuckers to use P-90s without further woodwork. The sound remains intact because the pickup stays the same; it really only LOOKS different!😎
Sorry Xander, but The Bunn is the baritone king, you can be his baritone knight
im aware a lot of people use normal strings on these sometimes. they also make bass vi strings that accommodate the scale length of these type of guitars. granted the lowest string in most bass vi string sets is usually an 82 or 90
I have one of these myself and use 13-72s on it and they suffice perfectly for drop F tuning. The notes are clear as day and it's easy to play. Though, I could see myself going to 78s or 80s and going to something utterly insane like double drop D and it would work just fine.
looks like the subzero baritone, which i have and love
Definitely have to buy one when you see it. When they pop up on the site they only last a few days. I've seen them pop up a few times over the last year
Looks like the same guitar G4M are selling under their SubZero brand, one listing with baritone strings and another listing set up like a Bass VI. Only difference seems to be that one uses TOM and is strung through.
So, if anyone is sad they missed the Firefly...
i was looking at that one looks literally the same almost i might get it haha
Oh cool. Someone needs to put firefly on the map. My uncle has something like 12 of them. He absolutely loves them and he's been a gibson guy his whole life. I've played a couple of them. They really aren't bad guitars. I wish I had access to instruments like these when I first started.
You should check out Alpha Wolf/Dealer. Huge tones in drop G and lower, all humbucker
I have the sun zero version of this I had issues with all you had first locking tuners are a must. Second a Duncan distortion pickup is great on this type of guitar it doesn’t have as much bass to it and doesn’t get muddy. I’ve been down that rabbit hole and that pickup just works. I got songs on my page if you wanna hear it in action I would highly recommend it.
Super cool for that price, if it wasn’t sold out, I would think about it. But I will start my own designed guitar which will cost a lot. Happy for you and looking forward to see the upgrades.
Not knowing much at all about baritones, a quick couple of questions: #1 Can a baritone Rammstein/Chug? #2 Are baritones better served by standard amps or do they get any benefit from using a bass amp?
Put a set 0f EMG 81x and 60x in it for more clarity and you got a metal monster!
I swapped them out for Fishman moderns and drilled a hole through the pickguard to put a rechargeable usb battery pack in. 2nd voicing for fishmans really helps pull out the low tonal definition.
Yessir, the Baritone King indeed. Im very luck to have picked up the white one. I play it all the time.
You might want to check out their LP style guitars too. Firefly is at the top of the affordable guitar market
I had a Firefly FFLG (SG Copy) in 2021 and I wasn’t thrilled with it. It looked nice but it was my worst playing guitar (Worse than my Squier Bullet Tele by far). Maybe I got a dud, but I can’t imagine a “good one” is a great guitar.
That's a sweet guitar, sound great! I see you're tuned to drop F. I have a HB 30inch baritone and I'd like to put in F standard. What gauge of strings would you reccomend? Thanks and greetings from Croatia!
SO cool Imma get one
I have the FFLP and it is amazing bones for a great custom guitar. New Pickups, and bridge.. boom amazing guitar for less than the price of an Epiphone. I also own the Firefly version of a Firebird. Out of the box Flawless!
What tuning and string gauge did you use? I have 30" scale and can't get it quite right.
So I'm assuming Baritone is the Brand name...that's new. I'm used to hearing it as a brass instrument. Learn something new every day. 🤘😎
brand name is Firefly, baritone refers to the scale length and tuning
Baritone is the scale length.
More specifically, baritone refers to a vocal pitch range that is between tenor and bass. You’ll hear its usage in a variety of musical contexts, typically when an instrument with a normally tenor range is pitched lower than usual. There are also baritone acoustic guitars, saxophones, and horns (which is what I think you were referring to). With electric guitars, it typically refers to a scale length which is 27” at minimum, but shorter than a bass guitar scale length, which is usually 34”. Normally, baritone guitars are tuned lower than standard scale length guitars, but it is technically possible to play in standard tuning. Longer scale lengths offer increased string tension, which means you can use thinner strings to achieve a pitch than you would on a guitar with a shorter scale length. This makes it easier to tune to lower pitches.
@@OrlandoAponte@Otto Phil @Pints of Guinness Thank you guys for clarifying. Especially you Orlando with great detail. 💯💯💯👊😎
you should get a set of seymour duncan p-rails for it. they can be wired to switch between humbucker, p90 and single coils.
I've got the white one...put a fishman modern in the bridge...it kicks serious ass!
Hopefully these become available to UK folk at some point, I wanted to check one out but they wouldn’t ship to UK
On my 28 inch scale 8string last tuner is far away, reversed headstock.
And I have been finding that all manufacturers are producing very weird bug. String lengths are different from pack to pack. For a year used DR, because of preferred string guage and length, recently tried to swap strings and last string was half inch short, bummer.
This problem as well exists with dingwall basses, my friend keeps finding that what's written isn't a case from time to time. So, if everyone who is interested in long scales, be aware that you have limited choice of strings/guages.
Being in Europe it's kinda pricey to buy custom sets and pay all of the fees for importing something from abroad.
Please add locking tuners, swap out the pickups & post a video!
That guitar is almost as awesome as your mom for getting it for you.
I'm currently building a 30in baritone and I'm trying to source strings. I've got my eyes on a set from Kalium, but if you find something that works well for that beast, let us all know!
I've heard good things about La Bella strings.
Man it’s cool! You ought to taste cort kx507 multiscale! It’s definitely super comfortable fretboard and usability experience!))))
I've been hearing great things about "Firefly" guitar brand for about a year 1/2...I need to pick one up.👍
*decides to listen to ur songs on spotify* dude, ALL of ur songs r bangers! I might get a barritone in the future, but i'll approach it like i did with my 7 string; buy a cheap on, and if i like it, splurge. Do u mind if i use ur music as background music in my streams?
I have a 27 in tele baritone from firefly and I absolutely love it
Jimminy Christmas at those delectable tasty chunks...Yum yum in my tummy go!!!😜🤘
Ray you should start a discord for your community of fans
I got one of these recently. Put a pair of bass v i strings on it…holy crap
Hey Raymond, do you have any info about Fender QC? I recently bought 5 Jim Root Telecasters and all came significantly defected (massive cracks on the body, cracks on the neck, extremely bad nut, bad finish, glue on the fretboard, terrible frets that doesn't let you to do bends etc.) All of the guitars were 2022 manufactured. The last one I got was with switch slot comptely torn apart (it was looking like someone hit it with hammer).
Get the Seymour Duncan p rails.
From what I’ve seen it’s killer with baritones.
Hey Ray. Love the channel man. Try a bare knuckle Stockholm HSP90. I have one in my 29.5” lp style baritone. Amazing clarity and has that single coil style snap to it.
Hey Ray is it a baritone or Bass 6 cause alot are set up bass 6 style you need to give the ibanez SRC6ms bass VI a try
This guitar is cool because it has humbucking pickups!
Have you seen the silver HSS Tele 27” baritone on there? Been looking at it for a while.
Cheers yay yay
What strings should I use for drop F on one of these? I’ve tried everything and the low string is too short due to the reverse headstock
What drums library is used in this track?
Tye string length thing is even worse on my subzero rogue vi. Locking tuners are a must just to put strings on
Nice guitar 😍
I've played the Harley benton one and the sub zero one, and both were awesome. Haven't tried the firefly one yet.
Hi Ray, checkout the Lundgren Revolver P90's🤘
Good job, mom! I didn't get Xander anything but a couple of thumbs up. lol What guitar did your girlfriend get you?
Okay so Firefly baritone will be my first baritone
Nice !!! ❤🤠
I feel like the lower you go in tuning the less clear it sound imo. Drop f sounded kind of muddy. But it's still a great guitar for the price.
Depends on the scale length, the string gauge and the pickups
you should checkout the Subzero Rogue Vi! from Gear4music!!!
Nice axe dud
Thanks so much!
@@xanderraymondcharles AYOOOOOOO
😉👍
Nice
Thats a Subzero or G4M, rebranded. You mom was totally scammed 😂
Speaking of baritone king i kinda wanna see you make a video with @thebunn
Killin it bro!
