What absolute mad lad is playing a 30" scale 6-string baritone blues in B with single coils
Haha, I enjoyed that comment, made me laugh out loud
That Danelectro sounds so much better than I imagined it would. The Danelectro lipstick pickups have some kind of magic in them.
Real talk, danelectro make some of the best sounding guitars in general
I built my own baritone guitar. It has a Tele body, Babicz bridge, Hipshot locking tuners with Xtender, DiMarzio Evo humbuckers, and a 30 inch scale. Painted it pearl apple green with gold pearl burst on the front and eggplant purple pearl on the back and neck. And it's _awesome!_ I love it. I named it the Apple-Barry Teleballer Bootycaster.
pictures pleasev
Make a video 😂
@@greg6509 Go to my channel page and check out my crappy videos. I have a couple other builds in there plus a nice 2008 Les Paul Slash Signature I bought from The Trogly's Guitar Show a few years ago. I have a few other builds finished and posting up shortly...along with sound samples, better video, close-ups, etc. for all of them
Check 'em out. Give a like or a comment. Or not.
Thank you for your reply, regardless.
That look on Lee’s face at 16:07 when he realizes that when Pete said tune down lower to a C when the baritone is already tuned to B 🤣
I need a "The Captain Meets Tosin Abasi" video in my life.
They actually met but the sex wasn't as great as expected
@@maspesasmasperras5554 no, no. You're thinking of "meats" not "meets".
who doesn't
The Bass VI was heavily used by this little unknown british band called The Beatles on the White Album (Helter Skelter in particular), also Robert Smith of The Cure made a career playing the Bass VI.
But i get it, the Bass VI is it's own thing, you either hate it or love it.
Underappreciated instrument
Yup, bass VI was used on a lot of stuff - it's all over the White Album, Brian Wilson and Beach Boys used it, Jack Bruce from Cream...
@@beebee404 Roy Babbington of Soft Machine used one at times, playing fingerstyle bass no less!

Yeah, I love my Squier VM Bass VI, with the caveat that I love it for what it is, not for what it's not. Funnily enough, I actually bought it years back after watching an old Captain/Rob video where they were demoing the Squier (at the time, was just the Vintage Modified) and a higher end Pawn Shop special or whatever Fender called that line. I do kinda wish that the Classic Vibe had been a thing at the time, I'm guessing these are nicer overall than mine.
Acoustic baritones are also severly overlooked. Love how they sound!
There is a certain guy with an afro who does beautiful things with a baritone
👀
Both Rabea and Ariel Posen are phenomenal bari player Anderton’s veterans
But Ariel doesn't actually play a baritone, just the tuning. His guitars are all standard scale length, just super heavy strings
@@LemonHolidayProd I always thought the Mulecaster was a bigger scale length but I guess you’re right! It’s only 25”!! They must have done some real good work in the design to get it to be stable in B standard/open C for a touring artist like Ariel
@@ZL1LoVeR they seem to be really solid. I would love to get my hands on one! Though, technically there is about the same tension as a lighter set tuned higher with the balance of gauge and tuning. It's more about intonation and things like the nut than anything else
The jazz blues licks on the Gretsch sounded almost like a tenor sax compared to a regular scale length. Rich, thick sound. Loved it.
I bought a baritone guitar back in 2011 just experimenting in those days to occupy one track, with another one occupied by a 7 strings guitar, a third track with an ordinary 6 strings tuned down and the last track occupied by a 6 strings in standard tuning. That was a real wall of sound covered by a wide range of frequencies worth experimenting and truly inspiring.
I just fell in love with the sound of the Danelectro … just wow 😍
I just bought one exactly like that a week or two ago, it's great! Not without its quirks but the core sound is amazing. Now I get what Lee meant in the video about Danos: they're a bit shit and cheap feeling (while being perfectly functional, not badly made at all) but that's what makes them cool. Upped the strings one size to 14-68, tuned to A standard, bit of pencil lead shavings in the nut because the high 'e' and 'b' were pinging a lot during tuning. Glorious.
Haha, seeing pete struggle with that gretsch reminds me of trying to play jazz solos high up the neck on my homebrew squier bronco bass VI
Great video. Just what I was waiting for. Just bought a bass from your store. Was looking for an Baritone as well and now I know which one I want. I love the sound of the Chapman Baritone. Straight to your website 👍
Lol ya’ll woundn’t stop talking over each other😂 love the banter. beautiful selection there gents.
A Gretch baritone guitar was how I learnt to play guitar lol. I played bass for years, and then I saw a guitar on a rack in a shop hanging slightly lower than the others and went to check it out. I liked the tone and bought it. It was a weird time learning rock classics on a baritone with bass amps and effects, but it was also a lot of fun. Got into guitar a lot more and bought a tele, but it took me a while to get used to the brighter tone after my year of baritone. Great to see a vid of them, they don’t get enough attention
For those who want a deeper dive into baritones for heavier and sludgier music, check out The Bunn (not store affiliated so should be okay :p)
+1 !
I actually converted one of my 25” prs into a short scale baritone with heavy gauge strings after the last video you guys did! Worked out great! Definitely thinking about that Squier.
True words! Even more true with an acoustic baritone! Opened up my understanding of guitar SO much.
I’ve got an MJT Jazzcaster Baritone that I absolutely love. You guys inspire me to work on getting my skill up to match the greatness of the guitar. I’m not there yet, but trying. Keep those videos coming.
I recently got the Squier Paranormal Baritone and I'm loving it.
That 'special' range on the low end, 5th fret and below is where it stands out.
And those tones lead me to play down there just to get them.
But just playing normal style is very satisfying too.
I agree with the Captain. Playing a different instrument that still works and functions like a guitar can truly broaden your horizons. I bought a 2018 Squire Classic Vibe Bass VI and even though I play bass and guitar it still feels and sounds wholly different. Especially with chordal work. Note that they need different strings that come with it and possibly a set up to avoid that floppy low E. Btw, Banguitars are great banjo guitar hybrids to try as well.
Picked up a Danelctro 66 BT a couple of years ago and couldn’t be happier. It really fills that creative gap
I have one and it's such an unbalanced, unergonomic beast. But it does sound great.
The Squier with P90s sounds great in my opinion. I really want a Bass VI, but Pete's right - it's a whole 'nother thing. Thanks!
After all this time together, you guys still talk over each other. lol Love the "show" as well as the descriptions and jamming.
I choose the Squier. I have a Dano 65 Dead On (dumb name, I know) that I converted to long scale baritone. Love it! For me, lots of great old western, blues, surf and some early rock. A must have for all musicians! Thanks fellas.....
Good evening Gents! I so love and miss my old Baritone. I played it more than my standard guitars. almost wish I never sold it. Now I need another one.
Sitting right behind Lee is a modern black face Fender Twin Reverb. The original black faced Twin was the sound of pretty much all of the studio musicians in Nashville TN in the 1960's and 1970's. Most Nashville based guitar and steel players of that time used them until Peavey came out with the Session 400 for the steel players and even then many still preferred the Twin. How about a video showcasing that great amp and it's incredible clean sound and wide audio range.
Love the sound of that Gretch!
I've been eyeing the Danelectro Baritone ever since I heard one on a few Scott Walker albums but holy smokes that Gretsch is unbelievable. I'm having trouble deciding which to get (ideally both)
It's not that long since I got myself a baritone electric, having had an acoustic for a bit longer. Originally planned to get a Bea signature, when that fell through I aimed for that very Gretsch model. In the end, Ilanded on a PRS 277, which is an amazing guitar that I love dearly and have gotten use out of in a lot of styles. It is very versatile and not too much dearer than any of these.
I recently picked up a Squire Baritone and I sincerely love it. If you like making cool sounds- this is an awesome tool to add to your arsenal. Check out Joey Landreth or Ariel Posen to be humbled and inspired. I am happy Andertons made a video on this topic if anything just to hear Pete and Lee jam.
Nice job here gentlemen. Good overview on the Baritones on the market for getting started. I got the bug and a friend said I should get a Baritone neck for my extra Tele. LOL, Just the necks I could find were as much or more than the Paranormal Carbronita!
I now have a Surf Green Tele-Baritone and having a blast with it.
As Always You Guys Rock. 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
Great Video!!
I´m still enjoying the Baritone8 Alvarez that i bought from you lot last year apart from all the THINKING / Transposing!!
EVH was a BIG fan of the BASS VI. 😁 Nuff Said
Dave Matthews is why I got interested in baritone guitars. It's got a real haunting vibe going on and I love it.
My primary is a Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI.
1: It is for the guitarist who plays bass like a guitarist, so it is perfect for me.
2: I am all abut weird, and you cannot get much weirder. EVERY gig, literally EVERY gig, several people are asking about it.
3: Classic Vibe is PERFECT right out of the box. You don't need to do ANYTHING to it. Go with Classic Vibe any day.
On a side note, GRETSCH, make that baritone with a proper SET neck. Seriously. Bolt-on works for Fender-ish vibes. BUT a Gretsch NEEDS to be a proper SET neck. No exceptions. Do that, and I will buy one.
love that baris are finally getting some love from the big manufacturers :)
Wonderful video, as always. I picked up the Gretsch a while back, absolutely love it.
A question: how is the name of the guitarist that Pete mentioned spelled? Closed Caption shows Arya Poston and I can't find anything about that name. I'm interested in finding music by guitarists who feature baritone guitar.
Lee is lookin pretty cool holding that Chapman baritone 🤘😎
I def need to get 1 😘
To Lee & Pete - interesting comments from both of you on the Bass Six which, as you underline, is another kind of beast rather than another baritone contender. I would take issue however on Pete's assertion that it doesn't lend itself to a heavier string up. La Bella make a heavier set in both standard and flat wound versions which are worth trying out. Once you deal with that floppy feel especially on the 5th & 6th strings it becomes a much more tamed animal. I bought the Squier version when it was reintroduced some 5 years ago as I'd been especially intrigued back in the 60's by several tracks on a Wes Montgomery Riverside album (Movin' Along I think it was called) when he played a Fender Bass VI. ( Body and Soul and Tune Up are well worth a close listen !) An issue with the first Squiers was the bridge, which didn't keep the strings securely in place. I found a replacement made by Staytrem which sorted out the problem - I'd be interested to know if the later Squiers have been modified at all on that point. Thank you guys for your videos which I have followed for some years now - please keep them coming!
Regards, Len Neldrett
I looove my baritone. Will not mention the brand, as it isn't carried by Anderton's, but just having a baritone is a must. Of course, many players will alter them in some way to acclimate to their style. I went with locking tuners (for less windings to allow for standard length strings) and lighter strings (11 ga), and just adjusted the setup accordingly. Mine is a white Jaguar shape.
There's quite a lot of debate around when was the first "proper" baritones, rather than 6 string basses. I think Danelctro were first, and Duane Eddy and Glen Campbell used them on their hits. Veillette Citron claim to have made the first production baritone as we know them today in the early 80's, called the Shark. 15 were made and Eddie Van Halen, Rory Gallagher, the B52s and Chris Stein had one.
Ironically I got myself a sub sonic baritone neck last week for one of my teles so now I got 2 Baritone guitars!! They're that fun!
I think the Gretsch looks the most interesting to me. I like the sparkle finish on the Danelectro.
I have a 7 string that I never use. I thought about getting a baritone or building one using a conversion neck, but outside of collecting for the sake of collecting, I'd still never use it. That said, I plan on buying one because I'm an idiot
I am also an idiot. However, I am a poor idiot...which does have some advantages.
It’s a big club, me too!!
Keen on getting the Rabea Chapman baritone 😍
Nice topic for a video.
Funny that this video should pop up the week I dusted off my baritone tele and have been playing it almost exclusively. Bartitones sound amazing and aren't just for metal players. I see it as a reverse capo. It sounds great blended with a regular six string.
love my squier baritone i got from Andertons
I'm a sucker for a baritone!! Now only have 2 standard guitars and 3 baritones of various scale lengths and tunings. The Gretsch is a beast!!!
I am ready to scratch that Baritone itch..!!!
Really feeling the Dano
🙏🙏🙏🙏 I was asking for that for so long.
I was thinking of getting the Squier Cabronita last year in black, but they all sold out.
I love all of these; the Chapman did sound best, but is a little out of budget.
As a matter of fact, I now have all parts to build my own 😉
So… a thinline tele body with a flame maple veneer, with a 27” strat neck, Seymore Duncan mini humbucker in the neck, Wilkinson Vintage Alnico 5 in the bridge, modern rearfed tele ashtray bridge with 6 seperate saddles, threeway switch, with push-push on the tone knob to split the neck pick-up.
Just finished the staining, spraying & lacquering the body, in a aqua blue crackling burst. Should look pretty cool & get some amazing tones 😉🤪
A Chapman ML1 is out of budget? LOL Those are dirt cheap. Ever heard of saving up?
Yeah, well, with 2 kids (1 itaking swimming classes & ballet, 1 doing streetdance), a wife doing a college degree in teaching & tourism marketing (my trade) lying flat on it’s ass during this Corona crisis: €495 is kinda out of budget.
Besides, buying a guitar…? What’s the fun in that?
Selecting parts, getting parts in, staining, sanding, more staining, sanding, spray painting, sanding, lacquering, drilling, soldering, more drilling, sanding (the neck this time), oiling/hardwaxing & assembling a baritone for a cool € 158,47 seems soooooo much more satisfying 😉
Danelectro for the win 👍 Thanks Chaps!
I didn’t notice the extra inch.You go Captain😊
What is the complete rig for the part with Danelectro? The sound is sweeeeeeeeeet!
As a bassist first I am really intrigued by the 30-inch scale length. I think the Danelectro had the tone most interesting to me. Time to collect the change from under my couch cushions...
I've always been baritone-curious but never enough to go down that road. I'd like a Bass VI though. If Fender (rather than Squire) starts making them again, I'll be in it!.
These things sound cool. Can they cut through a mix without too much manipulation later?
Love my baritone, a Godin electric/acoustic. Absolutely amazing instrument, I just wish I was better at playing it!
Captain, if you take a look at the market there is potential in the lefty niche for Chapman baritones. Very few alternatives in general, even less for higher output stuff. Thanks!
This is true! Eastwood do something at about £1300 with styling that would be Marmite
Thomman do their HB Amarok baritone in lefty at about £470 with EMG hot 70 set, but insist on supplying it with 500k pots, so the tone roll of is nonexistent, but otherwise a great guitar that sells out.
I'd buy ML3 pro traditional in Lefty Baritone 👍
Way back in the mists of time, Futurama made something very similar to the Bass VI. When all's said and done, just think of it as a bass with extra high strings.
Please do a video where you run the CV Bass VI through some different bass amps. Maybe an Ampeg Micro VR or CL, an Orange, a Fender Rumble, and maybe some sort of valve beastie too. As long as it fits with the budget of a Bass VI, nothing crazy expensive.
I think this would make an excellent video! And it would answer a ton of questions I have as I'm leaning heavily towards a Bass VI with a Micro VR.
Thanks!
The Reverend baritone model looks amazing in the demos that I’ve seen.
The Chapman seemed the closest out of the models demoed here.
Man I really really liked the sound of that squire
What a coincidence, I just unboxed my new PRS SE 277.
I have lots of fun with my Reverend Descent W. Loads more inspirational and fun than additional pedals.
Hey Guys, I'd go with the Gretsch, to me it is Great Sounding. Had a Fender Bass VI, too Flubby and Rattly. Go Show MY MEN.
They say you shouldn't play a bass through a guitar amp because you could damage the cones....so how does the bass VI work? Would you be advised to play it through a bass amp or is there any risk of damaging your guitar amp?
The bass VI doesn't really put out as much bass frequency as a standard bass, at least not in my experience. And you have to be careful but some guitar amps and speakers will deal with a bass just fine. It's a really subjective situation
I got my Squier Jazzmaster Vintage Modified Blackout Baritone with P90s from you guys. Love it to pieces, it always gets me out of my pocket just trying things with it.
Those are Jazzmaster singlecoils not P90.
@@HenritheHorse No they are not. They are Squier P90 pickups. Like it is written on the Andertons Product site for years.
Duncan designed P90s to be absolutely clear here.
@@CGCEifel They might be wrong, because every other place says they are Jazzmaster singlecoils...
@@HenritheHorse Yeah. Myself, Andertons and Seymour Duncan are wrong and the usual internet random is right. Business as usual.
@@CGCEifel You can always look at the bottom of the pickup! I've got the same pickups and those are J101B and N which are Jazzmaster singlecoils, but could be only covers.
The only baritone I want is that purple LTD Snakebyte from a few years ago. Glorious thing.
I tried the Danelectro and it felt huge . 27¨is the sweet spot IMO
Very happy Yamaha Drop6 owner here. If you can find one, grab it!
Is that a sire P5 there? Can't wait for the review of that!
The bass VI is a short scale bass that fender marketed as a bass for the lead and rhythm guitar player
If ever there was a video for rabea it was the baritone one lol and that Chapman is beautiful
23:47 Billy Sheehan, eat your heart out! LOL
You should do an episode that details every piece of gear a guitarist NEEDS. Might be a 2 hour behemoth but hey I’d watch it
It would be one of everything in the store.
A lot of people say that the Squier Bass VI has a lot of setup issues right out of the box. Did you guys notice any of them?
I've got a pink bass VI on order 🙂
Christmas present from me to me
I mean.. I play C standard with a set of 10-44's on a 25,5 scale.
It's slinky but I love it
I might go a for a little thicker string-set next tho
Geez, jumping back here It's clear how much Pete's been enjoying face gains since!
Best Jam intro a dat yet. Up
I love my baritone, an eastwood sidejack i picked up for a couple of hundred quid, but someone needs to build a better looking one. I am yet to see one other than the Masterbuilt Brawler that has made me go “ooh”
Check out Jim “Kimo” West playing his acoustic baritone Tacoma. Awesome player!
Mandolins tuned G D A E - the same as the bottom four guitar strings but backwards.... so you can play all your usual chords upside-down. Easy, with a small recalculation :)
I’d play it upside down like Eric Gales
That Chapman Baritone is a stunner🤘🏿😈🤘🏿It stands alone compared to the others 🤘🏿😈🤓🤘🏿
Pete , you are a genius ! and very very funny.
Refreshing
Would you agree or disagree that Baritone and Bass VI are different instruments than instruments in the same banding?
I find Baritones are more like guitars with extra length: even down to their build, specs and played more like a guitar. Cater more so for down tuning than an instrument of its own calibre.
The Bass VI tend to be a bridge between a guitar and bass. Different specs than just a longer scale length. Slightly wider string spacing, different electronics, different hardware, heavier guages and played either as a guitar or bass than just a guitar or for down tuning.
Not being pedantic and not saying ones better than the other but wondering whether you'd play the Squier Cabronita Baritone the same or differently than the Squier Bass VI or the Chapman to the Gretsch?
I'm interested to hear your opinions 😁
Will the lower strings on a Baritone not be in the same sonic frequency range as a Bass?
Tuned to B, the low B of a baritone is the same pitch as the lowest B on a 4-string bass tuned to E. Tuned to A, it's the same as the A string on a bass.
Baritone ukulele is just the top 4 strings of a guitar. Pretty good crossover there. I'm still a beginner but have an acoustic guitar and a bari uke. I try to learn on the guitar but use the uke for fun. The chords on the uke are easier so I can play more songs.
I have my tenor banjo tuned that way. It's fun!
Haunting? Is it Halloween?? I like to capo mine up to concert pitch.
A guitar solo always climax at the highest note. Singers are admired for holding high notes. For dramatic impact, why would you want to go lower? It's not within the guitar character to go low. As a second instrument I would prefer a Bass. On second thought, would this make sense for metal?
My dude... Did you ever heard of Kyuss or Queens of the Stone Age? Give these to bands a listen, and you will know why tuning lower makes sense.
Please let me know when the pink bass VI comes back in!!!
I like the sound of a baritone but not sure I could get used to the longer scale length
I wasn't sure I could get used to an 8 string. At first it felt weird but now it's normal. It makes my 6 strings feel like toys though when I switch between them. 😂
And of course an 8 string is also a Baritone and a 7 string should you ever want to block off/ take off a string or two.
Ive wanted a bronze danelectro baritone ever since I discovered Trocadero.
You should hear Sabbath riffs on my Hagstrom baritone tuned to A standard.
How many semi-tones lower does a baritone guitar go as compared to a standard guitar?
A baritone is tuned to B standard and a regular guitar is E standard so a baritone is a 5th below. The lowest I’ve ever heard one is probably drop E but also depends on the string.
Lots of Ariel Posen vibes on this video and l love it
As soon as there are nice left handed models I will get one.. but where are they?!
picked up the bea bari in Irithyl. sounds great. but damn bends are almost impossible.
Reverend makes a serious Tele style baritone. Good old Greg does a demo of it somewhere on YT.
And they make the Descent using one of the standard Reverend body shapes
