      Fender Bass VI

      6 string “bass” that’s strung with higher strings and used as a guitar. Sounds mean as fuck in drop F or Drop G.

      It’s 800 so it isn’t a million bucks lol

      I’ve got some gigs coming up with the new band so would be nice to have this.

        Baritone guitars are very nice and a good bit of fun. At first I thought it was odd they weren’t more embraced by the metal community, but I guess that’s because they just went straight to seven strings.

          Exactly right.

          Personally I prefer to stay in 6 strings so I don’t have to completely change my picking technique after 20 odd years.

          The Bass VI sounds amazing from what I’ve heaed but will Defs be taking the helix with me to test it out.
