Squier Bass VI Best Guitar For Metalcore, Djent, Thall | Everything You Need To Know
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- 2 Month review of the best guitar for modern metal , djent , thall and low tuning , the Squier Bass VI.
Given that modern metalcore and deathcore is tuned lower, using this bass, or similar from Harley Benton / Subzero as a guitar actually works better than an 8 or 9 string guitar. When learning how to write a metalcore song, it's important to have the instrument for the job, and I believe this @fender is the right guitar for detuned metal. I go over what I learned about the instrument in the past 2 months, going to (double) drop A0 to accomplish a similar Darko US sound, or Loathe.

Thanks for watching! If you have any other questions, ask them here.
Hi, thanks for the video! Question: Should I buy a new Harley Benton baritone (200$) or bass vi (500$) if I am an average guitar enjoyer who use vst and plays chugs for himself in a bedroom ? Is there a big difference in sound/feel? I am not sure if you played HB, but maybe you have opinion/advice anyway. Thanks!
@sergeisukhorukov2971 thanks for watching! I haven’t tried one but I’ve seen many reviews on them and they seem to have a lot of quality control issues. I think the Squier is safer and you also get the whammy! But again, I haven’t tried the HB. I think the pickups sound great in the Squier. Check out my 3 playthroughs with it and see if you dig the sound
@@BrendonKPadjasek thanks for advice!
No problem!
Hi Brendon, got my Squier VI today! Where is that community post you mention in this video which lists different strings to use with the bass? In my region that Fender set is not readly available and the easiest option is the Daddario EXL156 24-84, any comments about it? Which tunings could I reach with it? Thanks for you valuable videos!!!
Honored by the inclusion & top spot for low tunings 🔥 I made it for my own tones and uses, specifically for low tunings, so I really appreciate when people "get it" and enjoy it like you have Brendon
Dude I have been really enjoying it. Very sick
Hey OTTO. There’s a section for “Artist” presets on the amp. Will that ever get filled in?
Yes, got many of them collected, will be added when I have them all@@user-fw9gp8wg7f
I've been gathering them, will once I have em all
@@user-fw9gp8wg7f
The II II II II is seriously the best amp sim for low tunings, I own a ton of amp sims and I always use yours for anything lower than drop C. Thanks for making my baritones and bass VI sound killer 👍
The best part is he looks just like the kind of guitarist that ENSURES you're gonna die in that pit
LMAO best comment
Lots of great info! Love how thorough you are with your review
Thank you for checking it out! I believe all guitars are workable unless they’re absolutely messed up haha. Theres workarounds for everything. I just love the starting point this guitar provides for heavy stuff
Thank you Brendon! I struggled so much with songwriting and getting motivated with music. Your channel has alleviated many headaches. My younger self thanks you 💜
Hahaha I’m so happy to hear that. My younger self wishes I had these videos back then
keep it up bro
actually the best yt channel, tons of good tips and tricks. thx man helped me alot with my own recordings!
Thanks for checking out the channel. Always glad to help. LMK if you have any topics you'd like covered
@@BrendonKPadjasek i actually have one, but thats more in "live" situation than recording. Me and my band is having alot of troubles getting the live sound to sound remotly close to the recordings. The one thing in perticular is the vocals. When i record at home i have some plugins and have a decent amount of knowledge to tweak it to sound pretty good. But with the pa system it sucks... have any tips?
@@BrendonKPadjasek its like the sound is flat, and if we add more volume it just peaks and start ringing in the speakers😅
@isakisaksson393 unfortunately, that’s just part of it until you have a dedicated sound guy that knows your songs and knows how to mix
Very thorough review! Glad you’re having fun with the guitar!!
Thank you! Absolutely still having fun with it
Great review and advices. Good to see another video of this guitar on your channel and follow stuffs you did on it.
Before receiving mine I thought about changing pick-ups, but now I have it I thinks they are great, both for clean and distortion ! Single coils are amazing on this tuning.
They are surprisingly sick. I’m in the same situation. Thinking of switching them out but I also love them haha
Cool video man. Very interesting. Sounds really good recorded.
Thanks so much! There’s a lot of quirks with every guitar. I love to find work arounds since it’s such a great instrument for metal music
I love my bass VI. I had two Pawn Shop models, but now have a Custom Shop. Absolutely fantastic instrument, and far underused. I'm glad folks are finally getting wise to them.
That’s amazing. I always wanted to try a pawn shop one. My friend rented a Squier bass vi like 6 years ago and I liked it but it wasn’t quite there. I think the newest renditions are “there” now
Just discovered your channel and it's really informative. Thank you! I'm curious to try out one by myself.
Hey thanks for joining. Means a lot! I’m trying to make sure I have at least 1 video a week this year
Absolutely suggest trying one!
dude, you are so thorough! great review!
Thank you! I've learned a lot of tricks over the years to make any equipment work for a task so I know what to look for and how to go about showing its options. At least I think I do lmao
@@BrendonKPadjasek you do lol :)
@ediththeband hahaha thank you!
Been a fan since charitys and too stumble across you on RUclips laying down what is seemingly the perfect guitar for me…. Thank you Brendan
Hahahahs that’s amazing! Stoked you stuck around that long. I love this guitar
I really love this channel 🤘🏻
Thank you so much. I just cover stuff that I like to talk about so I’m pumped that others have similar musical interests
@@BrendonKPadjasek this is kind of my safe place. Because no one are in to the music that I am. I bought a sub-zero 30 inch scale two months ago, and really like the sound of it. I’m gonna buy 26-95 strings and go to drop C Is the idea.
@metalheadofsweden1742 I’m definitely finding more people in this space so luckily we’re out there haha. Sick I’ve heard great things about the sub zero
Just bought this guitar thanks to you lol. Sick video and definitely will use these tips!
Hahaha so sick. Yeah Brian mentioned you picked one up. How are you digging it so far ?
@BrendonKPadjasek I dig it! It's a lot more comfortable than I expected too. Still waiting for thicker strings tho. Can't wait to record with it!
@Elevada right!? I was expecting it to suck but now when I play a normal guitar it feels so small lmao. Which gauge did you go with?
@@BrendonKPadjasek LOL! I bet! I got 26-95 gauge.
@Elevada oh sick! Stringjoy?
Thanks for the info Brendon it’s great too hear and see more players pick this guitar up and fiddle around and make a genuine pros and cons list which I’ve taken into consideration
The only slight issue that I have this guitar is that I would love too have a thinner string gauges
Eh I appreciate that! I feel like all instruments deserve the time out in to learn them. They all can do something but not everything. How low were you planing to tune?
@@BrendonKPadjasek I’ve got mine tuned to a low Double Drop D# with a set of 84-17
@jacobboothroyd9988 oh that’s a great call! How do you like having the thinner strings on there?
@@BrendonKPadjasek they feel fantastic I like too have some what of a blend of heavy and thin strings when it come to playing a bass VI
@jacobboothroyd9988 that’s a great call. I may have to try that combo one day
great in depth demonstration on the VI :) especially like the tip on achieving proper intonation and tuning stability with the trem! makes me more confident to buy one now! also, single coil middles are intentionally wound in reverse to not double the hum (counteract the phase) and then the hand off strings means you're offering the final bit of grounding the signal needs.
Thank you so much! Depending on which tuning you’re going for, you may have better or worse luck with it. I’m finding it great in A
That makes a lot of sense as to why the noise dips when in position 2/ 4. I gotta figure how to fix the grounding issue.
@@BrendonKPadjasek when i did a 27" conversion neck on one of my strats i was planning on A standard but instead went the full octave to E standard since I've been doing drop E on a 27" 8 string I've had for about 14 years XD so crazy to think drop A another octave below that haha but yeah you can't use a neck strat pickup in place of tele for that reason and as for grounding i feel like it's an issue of not enough metal on the guitar in general
and subbed btw! :)
@ej1_drew ahhh interesting about the grounding. And yeah it’s insane what you can do with this instrument ahaha
Thanks so much for your videos on this guitar. You inspired me to upgrade from my old Ibanez (which does not suit the metalhead I have become) and it’s arriving tomorrow! Found one for a great price on eBay so it was a no brainer. Looking forward to playing around with it. Thanks again 😊
Oh that’s amazing I love finding a good deal haha
Thanks so much my man! Stoked to hear how you like it. Did you get the classic vibe bass vi?
@@BrendonKPadjasek Thanks for your reply! Yeah it's the classic vibe bass vi, I managed to get it for £380, shipping + gig bag + spare strings included! I actually had a question about it, maybe you can help. I think I've done everything you said: I flipped the bridge, filed down the nut, put the Fender 250 strings on it and have some temporary fret wraps (socks, haha!), but I'm still finding that the bottom E has a lot of buzz/doesn't ring out well at all on the higher frets, especially when downtuned at all (I have it in drop B just now). Any ideas? :)
@Seimimusic I think this just the nature of having a super thick string as a guitar. I have the same issue as well and kind of just live with it haha
@@BrendonKPadjasek Aha I wondered if that was the case! Good to know it's just how things are. Thanks so much! Just got the ii ii ii ii amp sim and it sounds great. Looking forward to making stuff like your awesome instrumentals!
@Seimimusic thank you so much for the kind words. I’ve been too busy with work to actually make some more of my own but I should have time in the coming weeks
Those cleans! Wow!!
Right? This thing sound surprisingly sick for rnb style cleans. Especially when using 2 pickups together
I had no idea you’d started doing RUclips and tutorials until this was on my suggestions today, but all of this stuff from you is something I’ve always wanted for years! 😂 Ever since my buddy Tyler McFadden showed me some little structures guitar sound tricks over like 12 years ago like the growls. Watching through so many of the vids this morning and you’re crushing it dude, keep it all up!! Ridiculously massive wealth of relevant modern information and tricks. 🙏🏻
Dude thank you so much for joining haha. I've been having a blast on here. If you have any topics you'd like covered lmk!
@@BrendonKPadjasek of course man, no problem! Definitely along for the ride. If I can ever help with any annoying video issues or questions, feel free to hit me up but you’ve honestly got the formulas down. I’ll make note of any questions after if I’m sure you haven’t already covered them! 😌
@NuclearSmurf sounds good! Thanks. Which camera system are you on?
@@BrendonKPadjasek Sorry just saw this! I run a Sony for video but Canon for stills and used to use canon for video until around 2015.
@NuclearSmurf oh sick! Which Sony?
Amazing thank you man !!
No problem. A lot to unpack but when you get used to working around the instrument, it’s amazing
Awesome video, definitely subscribing. You mentioned the noise when on a clean channel. Does that noise go away at all when you swivel to a different position in your chair, or move to a different spot in the room? I just got a Sub-Zero Rogue VI baritone (30 inch scale just like your Squire btw) it kind of does the same thing, as do most guitars at least a little bit. Typically if I just turn to a different position the noise goes away completely. Anyway thanks for the awesome video!!
Thank you so much! If there's any topics you'd like covered, let me know!
It does slightly. My strat does that but wayy worse than this one. I find the clean quite useable when in position 2 or 4. Sounds great
If you take your hands off the strings it makes noisy any guitar with passive pickups especially single coils. Cause ground is actually going to your body so when you take off your hands you kinda lift the ground. With active pickups like emg they normally don’t attach the ground wire to the bridge, cause they use different logic of connection and attach it to a pickup and pickups are using batteries and another magic is going on etc etc…
Thanks for the insight. I don’t know too much when it comes to the technical side of things so always keen to learn new info
Any thoughts on best live cabinets/speaker size, etc? Doing my research on this guitar and found your vids. They are great! Totally gonna get one now.
Oh that’s awesome. Thank you! It’s hard to say. The 4x12 is a classic and everyone’s used to seeing it on stage. Even though you won’t need to push the volume that loudly. Appearance wise, 4x12. Volume wise. 1z12 lol
Great video! I'm both a fan of your music, and this kind of content. Easiest subscribe ever.
That really means a lot! Thank you. And yeah, if you have any topics you’re struggling with let me know in the comments of a video and I’ll get an idea going
Great video, you did some tweaks I didnt know. I tuned mine in C standard with a low G using some custom La bella strings which sound great. Being a bassist Im not using it that much, just for fun.
Thanks my man! Yeah I still prefer an actual bass for bass parts but for guitar and for metal, this thing is insane
This is freaking awesome, man a new structures album would be a big W for the metal community. Easily one of my favorite artists of all time
Thanks so much for checking it out! I can’t wait for songs to be done and released into the world
@BrendonKPadjasek nah dude, thank you for putting this and the music you have. All of the above, divided by, Life through a window, none of the above and even your work with northlane has been such a huge inspiration for me and my best friend over the last 9 years, we both still struggle like hell to play hydroplaning 😂 but I literally learned to scream to life through a window and it changed how I approached guitar I general. So please don't thank me, we thank you ❤️
Cannot fucking wait to hear more from you
@hounsdjentlow3074 awe thank you so much. That really does mean a lot to me and I appreciate that. It’s all about finding weird combinations and trying to do things with the instrument that aren’t “normal” approaches
Thanks for your videos Brendon, they helped convince me to purchase a Bass VI. I love it.
Just wanted to share my experience for those interested (sorry for long post).
In the shop I was not impressed with the guitar, it was poorly setup, the high strings were tight, the low strings were loose. The pickups were weak and noisy, but I knew the guitar had these tones in it. I paid $675 AUD new which is dirt cheap for a new guitar.
Taking it home, it took a fair bit of work to get it playing the way I wanted. I used the string joy tension calculator to get some ball park tensions for what I wanted. Baritones can run higher tension than standard scale and still handle bends (I like 21-35 pounds for low strings, 16-25 pounds for high strings to bend more).
I settled on 90 62 48 30 24w 16p, which was a mishmash of string sets I already had. This caused an issue with the non-baritone strings which were too short, so I tied some string off cuts together to reach the tuners, so far it is stable and works better than expected, but the knot took a while to settle in.
Setup for Drop F it feels fantastic. I'm hoping it can go down to Drop D, any lower I reckon I'll need a thicker gauge.
On the Bass VI I own, some of the screws are misaligned, like it was built in a hurry on a Friday afternoon, but that's mostly cosmetic.
I had to straighten the neck a fair amount, lower the action, raise the pickups. The pickups seem microphonic under volume. But the tone is glorious, heavy but articulate. I was playing along to Obsession by Northlane and those big chords in the chorus, every string is defined and clear.
Funnily enough I had zero issues with intonation, and haven't touch the intonation, even after flipping the bridge.
I own the Squire Baritone Jazzmaster (the loathe model) and that guitar is much better, but for half the price and much greater availability, this is the next best thing. I might swap pickups but happy so far.
That’s amazing. So glad you picked one up. And I definitely resonate with most of those issues you had. Thanks for leaving this here for others to see as well!
Awesome informative and in depth review! I am curious if swapping the pots to 1Meg, would improove clarity? Thanks for all the tips and tricks you shared. The Squier Bass VI has been on my radar for some time now since messing with one in a store, I liked out it sounded in it's standard configuration and wondered how the stock pickup and the bass strangle circuit would handle in a baritone guitar context.
I had the exact same wonders about the guitar. It just made sense that if im tuning lower, I should use one of these
Thanks for watching it ! I feel like that would improve it. Once I get a new bridge pickup I’ll give it a full overhaul
Curious to see what bridge pickup you will go with. Most my other 30" inch baritones have EMG's in them as i find those are the Clearest and most cutting for the long scale and dropped tunings. Even the Fluences that everyone raves about doesn't seem to be as clear in this context. Looking forward to any future videos on this instrument!@@BrendonKPadjasek
@LogicBand thank you so much! I’ll likely go with the Impulse humbucker from Bareknuckle in the bridge and leave everything else
I wonder if you would benefit from a Schaller bridge that goes further back. Or Hipshot - I think those have further range
I feel like it likely would, but then we'd lose the Whammy which to me has become a must. And becoming my favourite feature. Aside from the low tuning.
Thanks for watching!
I’m gonna try that bridge flip thing Kool
That’s for watching. I definitely got wayyy closer intonation using it. Wouldn’t have as easy of a time playing it if it wasn’t for that. My top 3 strings are nearly at the end
Hello! I am wondering, when i do the structures cat scratch, i get clipping through my interface, am i doing something wrong?
Nope, that just happens. I guess it’s a lot of gain pushing the strings into the pickup
I don't remember if I told you this but the reason I had issues with that plugin being too muddy is because I never put an OD before it lol now I'm gonna try it haha!
Oh yeah it needs an OD before it
hay dude hope u doing fine i play bass in d standard in my band but i dlove to try this just for the lols ,,,what string gauge and brand you recommed to tune it down one whole step to D standard from E standard
Thats awesome. When I was testing it in drop C, the .024-.084 worked pretty great, and the only difference would be the top string being slightly tighter for D. I believe those are the stock gauges. I think D'Addario makes one like that. Ernie Ball does a .020 - .090
You can also cut the spring to be able to move the saddle back a little more.
Oh I didn’t even think about that. That’s a good point!
Have you checked your ground on that guitar mate? If you are getting the hum to go away when you touch the strings, it could be because your body is grounding the instrument. Might just be a shotty connection to your spring claw on the trem or to the pickup itself.
Also, you could add some shielding into the cavities, including the pickup cavities to decrease hum!
Oh that would be amazing. Could you link some videos on how to do that?
So it is okay for me to use daddario strings on the guitar? Would there be an issue with the scale length lmao, or would I have to buy those fender strings
I believe the stock strings are the same gauge as the d’addario strings. The first 2 songs I wrote on it are with those d’addario .024-.084 strings for drop C and C#. You could also go .024-.090 Ernie balls if you wanna be safe
Any lower than drop C I’d strings suggest going with the .100
Kinda seems like it might not be properly grounded. I had the problem of hum that stopped when I touched the strings, and I fixed it by redoing the grounding wire connected to the bridge, making sure that connection was solid.
Oh I didn’t realize there was a fix for it. I just assumed it was a single cool thing as my strat does it too. I gotta get more comfortable with soldering
Thanks!
Nut slot depth will help with how in-tune the low frets are. If it's only a little bit out, then you're probably fine because you're balancing action height with the truss rod tension. It's probably worth having a tech give it a setup, I'm wondering if a small shim in the neck pocket would help you get a little more height and break angle on the bridge. Cool to see a bass VI used in a different context
Oh that’s a really good point. I unfortunately know the bare minimum when it comes to tech stuff so I likely should bring it in. It’s a very versatile instrument
@@BrendonKPadjasek It's all good just trying to be helpful since your videos have a lot of great knowledge nuggets. If it's your favorite for recording, the spa treatment will be totally worth it :)
@Andy_Yates hahaha thanks ‘ I appreciate that. I’ll have someone take a look. Apparently meshuggah’s old guitar tech works just outside of Toronto
Nice video !🤘 Do you think the bass vi is a great successor to the vm baritone ?
Depending on what you’re going for! I think any baritone will be suited for guitar strings, ie not have big enough wholes in the tuners to fit bass size strings. But if you want it to sound a bit more like a guitar than a 30” baritone may be better for you
I love this as a guitar. Wouldn’t look back
Thanks for watching!
Thinking of buying this guitar but around the 13:20 mark when your take off your hand and the buzz increases, is there any way to fix that? I have that problem with a 4 string trad bass and I’m wondering if it’s a wiring issue or some pickup issue. Nice review tho
Thanks for checking it out. I personally haven’t found a fix for it, but I feel like every single coil guitar I’ve had does that, as well as my Rickenbacker. Some people in the comments said they had a fix for it but I’ve never had any luck
Have you ever tested the whole thing via a lineswitch? It would be very interesting to play bass and guitar at the same time. Can't find a bass player 😅
Yeah I thought about that as well. Haven’t tried it yet though haha
So my bass vi is standard tuning E (1 octave down Like.a bass ) this might be a silly question but do I tune up in this case or still down?
I personally was having better intonation luck with having it in drop C for intonation. Assuming you’re using the .024-.084 strings. What is your ultimate goal with the guitar ?
Hi, Brendon! FIrst of of all - been huge fan if Life Through A Window LP recently, thanks for a nice tunes. Divided By is good, but idk, compared to the next release it lacks a little bit of...Structures? :D Second - I wanted to ask a question. I have Harley Benton baritone, and wanted to ask a question regarding the strings - what gauges are out there, good for Drop E - Drop D, with dipping into C#(Northlane's current tuning) without filing the nut or tuning peg? Been using Ernie Ball's 13-72 set, which is good enough for everything until bass E Standard. I think Fender's strings may be too long, since theirs bridge is farther to the back + nut filing, which is a bit no no for me
Oh interesting. How long is the scale length on it?
And thanks! Haha coincidentally when I took over on vocals haha. I appreciate that
@@BrendonKPadjasek Thank you for making a great records as well :) As for the guitar - the scale itself is also 30", but it has a more standard bridge, compared to one of Bass VI, where it is almost at the edge of a guitar.I'm a bit low on budget, and thick strings are rather expensive compared to regular ones, so cannot really buy much at all, and have to dig through online resources
Ahh okay I think you could likely use the 13-72 (8string set) and remove the 2 thinnest strings and throw an 84 or 80 on top if you can get a single. I still would suggest getting the D’addario .024-.084 Bass VI set. It’s only a bit more than the 12-72
I've got a somewhat specific request. Obviously, you can ignore it.
I'm very intrigued by this guitar. I was at a local guitar shop and was telling the employees about my band and the changes that have been happening. Namely the guitar tuning and general lineup. They brought out this bass, and I've never seen anything like it.
I'll say too that I'm a drummer first and that I always wrote drum tracks first, then presented those to my guitarists. Then, a few years ago or so, I became serious about guitar and started writing the more melodic portions of the music.
A year and a half ago, I bought an 8 string and created a tuning for what works well with my chord and writing style.
So what I'm curious about is how do chord progressions sound in a very low tuning on this? As if this was the only guitar being played.
My tuning on the 8 string from lowest to highest is this...
E2
B2
E3
B3
F#4
A4
C#5
F#5
On my bassist's 6 string bass,
E1
B1
F#2
A2
C#3
F#3
So I'm curious about effectively barring down the E and B as the root notes of the chords and then playing the melody notes on the higher 4 strings.
My bassist and I have tried doing it, but it sounds too muddy due to the tuning and feels awkward due to the spacing.
So I'm wondering if the triple single coil pickups and closer spacing would make it more viable.
Like I said, I'm a drummer first, so if it's just an obvious "no," I understand.
That being said though, if this guitar sounds good in that low of a tuning with the scale length, maybe I'd buy one to use for general writing in studio, and then he can record finals on his bass.
I did see one video with this guitar where it says that it's in Drop E and that the string gauge range is 24 - 84. While it does sound sick, I don't think it is correct due to me using an 80 for my E2 on my 8 string. According to a string gauge calculator online, to hit E1, it recommends somewhere around a 118 for the scale length.
I have a few songs on my channel using tunings lower than E1 and I think it handles quite well. There’s 4 songs. Check them out if you’d like. I think it will be good for what you’re looking for
If I want to chance that bridge for a TOM I would have to open a new holes? Or it fit like that? Sorry for my english 😂😂😂
No worries ! Haha to be honest I’m not quite sure! I think you need a different piece entering the guitar
Wonderful review! Tell me, does the noise from bridge single-coil interfere with during the high-gain playing or recording?How are you dealing with this? Does noise gate help?
Thank you so much. To be honest, it barely does. If you’ve seen any of the 3 playthroughs I wrote on it, I don’t have any issues. Definitely hear the noise in the bass when it’s isolated. But it’s never isolated. Noise gate helps but when I record I always have it off and manually gate
Modern metal is so sanitized he probably eqs it all out anyways.
@goobingtons eq noise out? Do you mean manually gate? Because I definitely do
@@BrendonKPadjasek yeah my production knowledge is poopy when it comes to the terms, but yeah; I figured you'd go into the buses or individual tracks or w.e and eq them by hand to remove any bleed from your signal chain.
@goobingtons ahhh not eq for the noise he’s talking about, I just manually gate them and make sure that when I palm mute, if it’s meant to be held out, I chug near close to the bridge to make it thicker. Other than that, haven’t needed to do anything other than manually chop it. I definitely edit the guitars heavily though, because I want them to sound good and motivating. I don’t have an ego when it comes to guitar tracking. I always make sure the riff is playable and change things if it’s not, then record them and take it in pieces until it sounds professional
It seems to be that the consensus is that 6 (or maybe 7) string baritones sound tighter in the low end than 8 strings. Am I correct in saying that? I’ve wanted to dabble in low tunings but I was never happy with my 8 string. Wasn’t tuning super low-f standard or drop e but was never happy with it. I gave up thinking it’s just not going to work and I just have to tune up a bit. Ending up selling it. Would love to try it again but kinda leaning towards a baritone 6 or 7 this time around. Just not sure if I’m going to be happy with the chugs.
It’s hard to say. Was the 8 string 27” and will your next baritone be 27” or a 30” neck?
It was a multi scale-27-25.5 I think. For the next baritone idk. Probably 28” at the minimum.
@JJ-mp7rg yeah I guess depending how low you wanna go. I’d say the lowest I’d comfortably go in a 28” is drop D
Please review the Ibanez SRC6MS! I think you'll really like it
If I can get my greasy hands one on I definitely will haha
I find that for best bass mode is all 3 pickups are on, I think Sergio Vega from Deftones played like this on his Bass VI. I've been taking a liking to it as a bass, it is different but that''s what's good about it.
I think it’s sick as a bass too. I think a lot of the complaints about the instrument come from people trying to use it as a bass where those using it as a guitar seem to really enjoy it. But yeah. Other than not being able to play it with my fingers like a normal bass I think it sounds great
This look and sound good but im still wondering, a double coil mic wouldn't be better for thal deathcore etc... ?
There’s a lot of mixed reviews online about whether single coils produce more clarity for low tuning so it’s hard to tell. Been considering putting in some new pickups to see the difference
@@BrendonKPadjasek I couldn't tell but all i know is that double coil reduce buzz and hum in general so for distorted signal it could be be better maybe ? Don't have the gear to verify by myself but i want to get my hand on a baritone but i don't know where to look
Also the Fortin Nameless sounds really fucking good with the bass vi as well! not sure if you have tried that yet
Oh yeah I’ve definitely used it for recent mixes as a guitar quad. I don’t know what it is but I just can’t get the Nameless to sound full as a main guitar. It’s always a bit ratty for me but that’s what I love about it at the same time. I always know it’ll be a great blending amp/ quad amp tone
How bad is upper fret access on these? I know that isn’t the point, just want to know before possibly getting one.
Not bad at all. I only really showed the top string intonation since that’s the most frequently complained about string. It’s not 100% perfect? But when it’s in tune with the strings played open, it holds quite well. And if they’re sharp or flat, they’re sharp or flat together across the strings. At least how I have it set up
How did you do those chugs at 7:09? Those sound NASTY! I gotta get some of those in my arsenal.
Hahaha thank you. I could be wrong but I believe I created it. I have a video where I go explain how to do it. Kinda hard over text.

@@BrendonKPadjasek Thank you kindly sir! 🙏
I love your stuff man. I always look out for more!
@BlakeLW I appreciate that my man! Til the next one
Recoding guitar and bass parts on the same instrument is super efficient
Very efficient. One of my favourite parts about the guitar
For reasons my guitar teacher once told me, and for which I lack the proper knowledge of physics to explain properly, the intonation across the strings becomes more stable at lower pitches.
That makes a lot of sense based on my findings with this guitar. Thanks!
Hey, about your tuning - is is A below the standard E this guitar comes with (one octave below standard guitar E)?
Below the instruments tuning. Its basically an octave lower than a baritone in drop tuning
thats impressive actually, if I understand this correctly it is as low as my 5 string bass, in drop A.@@BrendonKPadjasek
@NordicKayaker that would be it exactly. Yeah it’s amazing what it can do
What set of strings would you suggest for E standard? Great channel, i've enjoyed every single video you've uploaded 🫶
Ehh thanks for checking them out. Hmmm, its hard to say because I didn't change bridge situation until after i dedicated to drop A. I'd say try the stock ones and if you can't get it intonated by flipping the bridge, maybe try lighter? I feel like the stock ones may be good. if you want it to sound like a guitar I'd go .080 on the top string and like unwound first 2 strings. BUT I haven't tried this so I cant really say
i use the fender 24-100s on my bass vi. the stock strings are too light and are a nightmare when you try and play the lower strings. they're too light and floppy, which contributes to the intonation thing
@theofficialcoolguy69 are you using it as a bass or a guitar?
@@BrendonKPadjasek i use it as both! but lately it’s been more so as a bass
@theofficialcoolguy69 oh cool. I wasn’t sure how the .100 would be for E as a bass. How do you find it?
OTTO Audio's II II II II is by far the best option in the sim world for metal and rock tones. Their doubling algorithm alone is worth the price of admission.
It is very sick. It's been my go to. I keep auditioning different amp sims but they don't do this low tuning justice. Which guitars are you playing through it?
@@BrendonKPadjasek Typically an ESP MH1000ET, although I run my Spector Legend through it often, and just use Bass Mint from Unfiltered Audio to fill out the low end.
@frankjager1647 you are the only other person I’ve heard mention bass mint. Literally one of my favourite plugins for the past few years. Can’t live without it for drums
Frank!
@@OTTOAUDIO OTTO!
This thing is sick! When you say drop A does that mean its an octave down from standard E? plus the 7 semitones down?
Exactly! And all tuned down, not using pitch shifting
@@BrendonKPadjasek wow i think i'm love with this guitar! or bass? how does it sound with light/medium amounts of overdrive? like something similar to loathes lighter tones from i let it in
@coma594 pretty damn good as well care clean, not sure if you heard it, is also great
@@BrendonKPadjasek yeah no the cleans were surprisingly insane! I figured it would sound good with a little more overdrive but I figured I’d ask haha
@coma594 yeah I mean I haven’t tried anything on this that I haven’t loved. Great guitar guitar, bass, cleans and some grit. I really wanna try putting guitar strings on it
Totally off topic, but I'd love to see your insight on writing metalcore choruses!
Oh interesting! Instrumentally or vocal wise?
@@BrendonKPadjasek both would be cool! Your insight into build ups, drum programming and overall song flow have been super helpful for me to start writing more modern stuff so I think this could be a natural progression of that! Especially since breakdowns and choruses are the main set pieces for a metalcore song.
Also thanks for the content man, it's super helpful! My mixes still sound like rocks inside a blender, but y'know 🤷♂️
@michaelgordon8491 hahahaa I love that analogy. And thank you so much! That all makes sense I have a similar breakdown video in the works so the chorus one definitely makes sense
wow, sounds incredible did you try to use a hx stomp amp ? if you have suggestions for great metal tone on hx stomp i appreciate so much
Hey thanks so much for the kind words and for checking it out. I haven’t tried HX stomp or heard of it tbh. I just use Otto Audio 11 11 for this guitar because nothing works quite as well. They have a free trial if you’re interested in checking it out. I also have an hour long real time mix tutorial on how I mix my songs
@@BrendonKPadjasek thanks, I will check it
@@javier_arenales Appreciate it. Let me know if you have any other questions or anything
@@BrendonKPadjasek shure man ! New subscriber here
@@javier_arenales I appreciate that!
damn boi! heavy!
EH thank you! Yeah I love this guitar
Agile makes a 6 string 30 inch scale guitar. It's 600 USD. It looks pretty interesting. It also has humbuckers lol.
Damnnn that sounds tempting. I’ve only tried a few Agiles and I was not a fan of maybe can reach out to them and see if i can do a comparison
I agree about the .065". The Fender support told me that their Bass VI set was manufactured by D'Addario. So I will maybe buy a .060" single guitar string from D'Addario. It will also help reduce the gap in gauge with the next string (.044").
With my Bass VI and the 24-100, I still prefer to keep it in E Standard and pitch it down.
I finally tried the 24-100 on my 8 string 30" and it feels to big. I will put back a 90 and tried in E or just get back to 74 on F#.
I may have just bought a G5260 ... Oops.
Hahaha gear is so tempting. Let me know how you like it!
And yeah, not at all sure why they have a .65 in there.
Are the strings not too tight now in E standard ?
@@BrendonKPadjasek I bought it like 2 or 3 years ago to use as a Bass VI, not planning to tune it lower. So after ditching the stock strings, I always had it in E standard with the 24-100 set. I'm ok with the tension but I can feel it on the tuners when I tune it. I hope that they won't break someday !
I plan to put lighter strings (90) on the G5260 and use it more as a guitar.
@didtoknan8128 yeah I’d be super nervous for the nut to snap on me
Also what about the bass cut switch is that ever on?
Only ever for leads. I don’t like it on for guitar. It cuts so much of the note definition
Mine was terribly noisy anytime the tone knob was rolled up. So I redid the entire cavity shielding with copper foil tape. Problem gone on any and all pickup and tone settings.
Oh that’s good to know. Noisier than mine?
@@BrendonKPadjasek Judging by the video, much noisier. And very susceptible to old building mains and ground loops etc.
Mine's a Vintage Modified, maybe the components are different?
@AvianSavara ohh yeah that makes sense. I believe the pickups are different in this one.
do you think this one is better than the Sub Zero Rouge Bass VI? what is your opinion on the Sub Zero tho
I haven’t tried the sub zero. Even if I did, I’d choose this one specifically because I love having the whammy. I know the build quality is great on this. I’ve heard mostly good things about the subzero but I’ve also seen some bad on it
@@BrendonKPadjasek thank you so much!
It’s so crushing. I’m getting one. What is the lightest gauge I can get away with for a 30” scale ? Ha.
haha thank you for checking it out. TBH I'm not sure, I've been meaning to put guitar strings on it for a minute now
What preset did you use for the OTTO Audio II II II II demo?
I don’t really use presets. I may have started with one but ended up somewhere fairly different.
** PLEASE REPLY **
I really been in between a 5 string bass or a bass vi, I need something to that’s gonna do drop C , and I’m a guitarist recording all my own parts for my ep , I need something that’s gonna work :/ please help,
Oh no worries. I reply to all the comments! Honestly, I record guitar and bass with this guitar and they both sound great. Bass sounds hilarious on its in but as soon as it’s through an amp sim it sounds huge
Are you okay with the bass and guitar being in the same octave? Check out the 3 songs I did on this guitar and if you like the sound of it, that’s with the guitar and bass in the same octave
@@BrendonKPadjasek thank you for you reply, means a lot. I absolutely love the way you recorded bass and guitar with the same instrument, that sounds like something I could definitely use as a solo artist. So I’m really considering investing in a bass vi.
I’m going to get back to you, I’m gonna listen to those three songs of yours and get a good listen for how you used it in this case. Once again thanks for replying.
@fortuneneverfavoredme1165 no problem at all! Yeah do some digging. I haven’t really seen anyone else able to get it to sound the way I do but I also am a mixing and recording engineer so that might be part of it. I also have mixing and recording videos up here
I have the subzero rogue vi (modded to shit as one does) and i absolutely love it, but honestly that whammy bar is sick to have. As far as the amp goes, I've found that the diezel Herbert is also amazing (I'm using either STL tonehub or the brainworx version)
Oh yeah. I was loving the will Putney Diezel VH4 and I use the Diezel Herbert when I’m monitoring guitar in UAD Console and it sounds great. But when I mix I always have better luck with Otto. Try it out for the 14 day trial and see if you like it. I’m curious if you do
Any plans to check out the bass vi vintera version to see if it djents?
I would love to but can’t justify spending that much on a guitar ever lmao. I’d rather put the money into new pickups.
@@BrendonKPadjaseksmart man!
@simonwalker2073 hahaha thank you!
you made me buy this guitar
Hahahah I also made myself buy this guitar. And I might buy a second
@@BrendonKPadjasek yeah thanks a lot! which string gauges would you recommend for drop f - drop e?
@arman-eb3vv honestly, probably the 8 string pack from d’addario or Ernie ball and take out the highest strings. That and possibly slapping an 84 on top but it’s probably fine with the 72 with the 30” neck
@@BrendonKPadjasek thanks a lot again!
@arman-eb3vv no problem!
What would you suggest as far as noiseless pickups that would be good for this axe? Specifically for playing modern metal.
TBH I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking of going Impulse Humbucker in the bridge and possibly getting a second one of these to try possibly P90s
@BrendonKPadjasek How do you feel about Seymour Dumcan Jag quarter pounders? Want to find a good pick up to replace the old ones but most the stuff I read give suggestions for pickups that make it sound more like a bass.
@mighkeydevious2748 hmm I haven’t heard anything about the Duncan jags. I was talking to Josh of Northlane and he has the Impulse Bare Knuckle line. He actually suggested to go with the hum buckers over the single coil for the low tunings.
@BrendonKPadjasek problem for me though is I don't really want to have to mod the body to get the hamburgers to fit. You should see the table I tried to build last summer for my wife, it's in a thrift store somewhere advertised as a death trap.
*humbuckers lol
13:00 is basically the principal of how humbuckers work.
Yeah someone had mentioned that as well. Good to know
the noise is from a grounding issue i fixed mine literally today. you still get the 60ch but the grounding is easy enough
Oh that’s amazing. How did you fix it?
The only sad part about getting this instrument is having to always order the right strings online because where i live they don't have them at stores. Great video as always
Yeah same here! And I’m in Toronto so I feel like it’s just one of those things that are so uncommon you have to order it. Maybe we can all change that haha.
I ordered 6 sets so I’m good for a year I’d say. The amount that I play
@@BrendonKPadjasek I can buy a 7 string string set on the store but i still have to order the 0.80 gauge for my 8 string guitar. AND it must be Ernie ball or else i will have to drill a hole in the tuning peg to fit the string. Would still love to get this guitar one day tho.
@nunofmpires oh yeah, because if the taper on the 80?
@@BrendonKPadjasek If i buy another brand i will have to unwind the string so it goes fully through the hole without the need of drilling it. Wish they somehow made "universal" strings so it fits right away on any guitar lol
@nunofmpires haha I wish that as well but unfortunately they all have different needs. And whether it’s a string through body, or extended range or normal. Too many factors
I remember in a video you kept returning the guitar. Why not just pitch correct?
Just how the tracking process goes. If I was writing I would be okay with pitch shifting, but I care about the fidelity and don’t want the artifacts. I’ll always choose tuning over pitch shifting. Pitch shifting really messes with the heavy chords I choose to use. It may work for some but I never like the sound of shifting down when I try it
Can I tune this guitar in Drop C with 9.46 gauge strings? 😅
haha Normal Drop C or the octave lower like this one?
what guage pick do you use?
I have a community post on my channel where I go over all the string gauges I’ve used for certain tunings so far
I'd love to get a Hapas guitar, but they cap out at 28 inch scale length. Is the two inches a major factor?
It is unfortunately
For getting a low tuning absolutely. My Ibanez 8 string is 27" and the lowest I can comfortable go is Drop D
@@apoplexiamusic 100% . Do you have a long scale guitar by chance?
My advice is to tune your guitar depending on the gauge and tension that works for the guitar and your fingers. Then use a pitch shifter to lower the pitch. I use Neural DSP Rabbea just for the transpose function right before the Otto Audio II II II II. Of course you can't be too crazy with the pitch shift. For single notes riff, - 5 semi tones still sound good to my ears.
@@BrendonKPadjasek i have 2 28", an Ibanez and a custom 7 string, and a Gretsch 30"
You should try Ibanez Soundgear Crossover 6 (Ibanez SRC6)
I’ve heard they’re pretty cool. Especially the multi scale
@@BrendonKPadjasek I honestly find the old traditional flat scale better, because they use the EMG shaped pickups, so you can throw Guitar pickups in there, while the MS one uses the Bartolini P2 shaped pickups, which are only used by bass guitars.
@@Eugensson ohhh that makes sense. Thanks for the tip. I love every ibanez I've own/ played
Do the comparison to vintnera II bass vi
If I can rent one I definitely will. But I can’t justify buying one when this one is as good as it is for the price
the Ibanez M8M is nice as well - really long scale (I think 30 inches). Holds tuning well and is clear as a bell.
Oh yeah, drastically different price range but I'd love to have one. This video was geared towards an amazing guitar for those on a budget
@@BrendonKPadjasekthe M80M is about twice as much 29.4” not 30” like the other guy thought but I would have to agree that the M80M and M8M are the best for downtuned stuff because of clarity and that you aren’t limited to just the 6 low strings. Highly recommend you try one one day.
@SpiritofPoison if ever have that much to spend on a guitar I definitely will. There’s no doubt in my mind it would kick ass. Would love to have those high strings again too
@SpiritofPoison there’s just something way more comfortable about this neck
@@BrendonKPadjasek I bought my M80M for 1k flat. You just have to be vigilant on deals.
Personally i’ve never missed the smaller necks and like being able to use my entire hand to hold one like an 8 but I can see how the Squier can be comfortable. Appreciate your response.
So you are tlling me that if I buy the Squire, then buy another guitar to play on it will be ok.
What do you mean?
You have grounding issue if there's noise when ur not touching it
How would I fix that?
@@BrendonKPadjasek providing grounding to your home should help, better Google it, I'm not an electrician :)
Can it handle regular Drop A? Not A0
Haven’t tried that yet tbh but I’d imagine it could. A 27” baritone would 100% be more suited for that though
just tune it to drop e and dont use the lowest string
@@arman-eb3vv put it in drop E and play sleep token, got ya! 🤘🏼🤣
@VisualzbyJ hahahah
I think I need one for Doom.
Oh yeah I think it would pair great for doom. Might be sick with the pickup in 2nd or 4th position
I’m not gonna lie, Harley Benton nailed it out of the park with their bass xi clone (the mod version they did with p90’s) I recommend it to ANYONE (double drop A with bare knuckle Pig90’s - amazing)
Oh that’s awesome. The build quality is good?
@@BrendonKPadjasek yea, it is literally RIGHT next to the Squier except it has the P90’s which are my favorite type of pickup for low tuned metal because they naturally give you more low end punch and way less headroom. The headroom thing is crucial when we speak about the clarity and tone that’s hard to get with humbuckers at double drop A. If you strictly use amp sims with a 9 string for example, you’re going to be able to achieve better results because you don’t have to worry about the headroom of an analog tube amps/amps and cabs in general. For $179, it’s easily one of my favorite guitars. Obviously I mod as I go. But that’s the best part. You’re making it a perfect fit to YOU. And what you get starting at $179, it’s pretty easy to mod with all the money you saved.
@peterbatten596 that’s a great call. Il have to give it a go. Which gauge strings do you use in it?
@@BrendonKPadjasek if you’re doing double drop A (let’s start at the lowest) a thing I learned by playing songs by Joshua Travis is get away with the thinnest strings you can (he plays double drop A on his Kiesel 9 string at .88 at 29”) on my custom Kiesel 9, yea, it’s much more rewarding when you master your picking style and learn to also palm mute well with both hands. With that being said, anything above .90 is going to start messing with your tone. I noted .85’s do great for double drop D and can easily get to double drop B as well with a 30” scale length. It sounds like that’s way too loose but you’d be surprised at how much you can really do and actually get away with not in theory, but in actual use after you do a full setup so it plays the best in your hands after truss rod/string height and intonation. It’s a pain the first time but after that, it’s literally just using the same sets. So .85 for anything down to double drop B and .90 for double drop A on a 30” scale length is definitely my rule of thumb after spending ridiculous amounts on strings ha.
@peterbatten596 hahaha thanks for putting in the time and money so I don’t have to haha
How's the neck after 4 months?
It’s been 2 months but I bought it used. So I unfortunately don’t know the age of it but it’s in great shape. No warping or issues and I imagine it will hold its own since it’s “completely designed by Fender”
is it because of scale length
I would say yes. And the pickups also kick ass surprisingly
as someone who is not a fan of this type of whammy at all, im probably gonna get the Harley Benton version with the LP style bridge. from what ive seen in a review is that the pickups arent the best and a simple switch with some hot ones would most likely fix it and make it sound better. gonna get some HOT wilkinson single coils to switch out in it. i already got the Harley benton JA baritone 30" scale and i love it. want something like this aswell that isnt p90 pickups.
Sounds good. Let me know how it turns out. I’ve heard the quality control is quite bad so hopefully you don’t get a lemon
Lots of horror stories to do with HB
@@BrendonKPadjasek i have a few harley bentons and i can say ive been very lucky with QC and never really had an issue at all with them. Also customer service is usually great and you can send guitars back and get a full refund
@vulnstacks oh that’s amazing. That’s the only reason I haven’t tried one. I’ve heard some bad things. Which guitars do you have by them?
@@BrendonKPadjasek currently i have the Fusion-T HT, JA-Baritone 30", JA-60cc, DC-DLX (sg type guitar) and a Fusion III EMG. Ordered the Harley Benton R-458FFB Roasted MultiScale a few days ago to get my hands on an 8 string to try out, so i cant say anything on that one as of yet
@vulnstacks interesting! Where would you say the guitars lack if anywhere?
sounds great and is cheap. I'm just not so confident that I'd be able to do all these fixes to get it sounding as nice as yours(low tech skills and bad ears). i think I'd prefer something working out of the box
Thanks for checking it out! I mean all I really did was reverse the bridge and intonate it for the tuning I wanted (which you’d have to do with any guitar that you’re not playing in standard)
But I totally understand that.
go next for DROP G :3
Your calls have been answered
Bass and guitar off the same axe is redundant, right?
Not when the tuning is so low. With modern metal there’s the urge to tune lower but once you reach a point, the bass stops adding to the song and taking away by just being a layer of mud
I completely disagree. And, not to be negative... Rationale doesn't equate to results within music production. I'm almost 40yo. I've been recording since 14yo. I played Double Drop D before you could eat solid food. I see this whole video as needless, cos you explained intuitive things. No offense... Maybe, your gen just likes speaking open about concepts. That's cool with me. Bands like Korn were understood to have a gimmick, yet added to the overall genre. What are you adding or any of these extra low bands adding by basically turning guitars into percussive rhythm instruments? The leads suck, bad. I'm cool without leads (I listened to Sepltura a few times as a teen), but now y'all are one-trick ponies? Power-chords transition at A#. You're over oct. lower. I don't really like 80's bass. But, no bass place in the mix??? Nah... I think y'all ran the gimmick in the ground beyond justification, and I never thought I'd use the term "bass envy." Is this all that's left, just making bad music and rationalizing it as new. I'd respect a cover band more. Sorry we don't agree. But, you'll get older. Do you want to get older and say, it was just gimmick sh_t... If this is the natural progression of Metal, I dread the next 15 years of Hip-Hop.
@@TotalDec I love all genres and write / produce music in all genres. I don't care to be a guitar master because I would rather work on my film making, 3D art, drumming, keyboard playing, etc. There's enough guitar players that sound the exact same in the shred world. It's unavoidable.
The bass has a place in the mix for frequencies, but the octave I don't think it's necessary when the guitar is in such a low tuning. If you do, I'm sure you've never mixed a band in this genre. So as much as I appreciate your opinion, there's kind of no conversation to have here since you don't understand the musical language we're speaking.
And if you think its so easy, lets see you cover any of the songs on my channel with accuracy. I would love to see that and I think a lot of people on here would as well
You mean tone instead of range for the bass? I don't get why you think that works. It's like two rhythm tracks, by basic tech language. Did you just not want to say that? I don't claim it's easy to make anything anyone likes. We both know what's beneath us. I don't even make music, now. I didn't invent the power chord, and I think it's all played-out. I'm studying chord substitution at this point, instead of any specific artist. I don't remember the last song I liked. I was producing speaker competition music when I was younger, but I've done something with everything at this point. No thanks, on the high-noon showdown.
Now that I thought about it, it's like guitar going away. I don't hate the idea (concept). I can say, there are reasons I like strats best and tune to Drop A, even tho there's no attention on that, anymore. I'm cool with that, and I did hope to like something from this type of music. And, don't think I'm saying you didn't bad. I'm not commenting on the sound, or anything. Seems like an axe I'd try at least once. I keep asking myself, is there something I'm missing?

You can be right but I think single coil are the way to go and also bolt on neck.
That’s a good point! Didn’t think of that
I’ve heard that as well. I’m thinking of switching the bridge pickup to a Bareknuckle impulse but I’m scared to go humbucker. Although Josh suggested the humbucker over the single coil
@@BrendonKPadjasek it's depends what you want from sound, if you want this Loathe sound that you must need single coil but if you want more standard modern sound than you can put Bareknuckle or something like that to sound like HLB, I also try 30' with fishman on subzero and sound amazing.
@alexvukovic7814 yeah, I think I likely want the humbucker sound but these single could have been working great
