Im so glad! There’s a wealth of info about them now, the djent crowd and the Cure fans have seen to that. I do find however that the appreciation for their place in twangy rock n roll and surf is low. They were on so many records before even The Beatles got theirs. Check out Duane Eddy’s Blueberry Hill, or La Carioca by The Fireballs. 🔥
it's so good that i've watched it 10 times already especially Ghosts riders in the sky. I like, how dark it sounds Imagine how great it would be if you made the full version
Love your version of Twin Peaks, reallygreat❤ Although the original isn’t a 6 string bass, but a sample. But you really made it your own version. And I still tell people, who ask me about the Bass VI to listen to Twin Peaks. Who cares…
You know this is an astute observation! Since it’s a sample I’ve never been able to get the tone totally right, but thank you because I tried to make it my own! What it really is like you’ve assessed is a golden example of the style of 6 string bass parts from the late 50s/early 60s. Nice!!
You know my original thought was that I’d capo it either at A B or C depending on what sort of baritone I wanted, even going to say G or G sharp to keep up with modern stuff, but I love it open as well. It invigorated my love for late 50s rock into surf sounds. It does however kick ass with a capo!
Let me tell you, I get asked to use this thing in sessions A LOT. Its versatility is the selling point. For a time I wanted another one strung A-A, but the capo obviated a lot of that need. Plus just doing low single note lines in a mix with the VI is glorious. Buy one man, they’re still not that expensive!
I’m so glad you’re inspired to bust it out, it definitely gets more love these days than it used to but I feel it’s potential has still not been reached. Twang on!!
I actually love it for hard rock and metal, I know right now it’s been rediscovered for that purpose but I always loved playing Mötorhead on it and such! There will be a rock medley soon…
honestly incredibly cool style and playing man.. loved the second twin peaks groove. ive been eyeing this guitar for months and this video's really sending me over the edge of wanting one.
Thank you so much brother, and let me just say you won’t be disappointed. I played it at an open mic yesterday and it was clear and beautiful! Another thing about it is it’s versatility. It can be a bass in a pinch, takes pedals great especially with the bridge pickup, use a capo and you have a B standard or A standard. People even restring them but I find the E-E tuning to be fantastic. I did buy a Dunlop bass VI set that upped the low string from an 84 to a 95 which helped the low tuning.
@@abetreblebass thank you so much for your response! didnt see it until now. definitely heard of the low e string gauge helping with this guitar off the bat. you put out anything with this online somewhere?
@@williamlalonde I wish I had, I’ve just done these couple videos on it. I’m playing it live a lot now, it’s finally getting it’s day! I only have one song on Spotify and it’s not my best, I just really wanted to be able to see my name there and play my music. As I make more I’m definitely gonna be using the VI a lot.
Thank you sir! It’s a function of the Bass VI that I love that most people don’t utilize. But then again I loved whenever Keef would capo his tele so I love a capoed electric!!
I just bought one of these and have found some helpful djentee videos which have shown me it can chug. But I'm amazed how many demos don't showcase country and vintage rock riffs. I just ordered a Bass VI and am going to use it in a punk rock duo. Knowing it can chug and twang...as well as rip some leads is confirming that this is going to cover all the ground I need it to. This was super helpful!@@abetreblebass
@@reubensinnema it’s truly amazing because I got mine before the current djent VI craze but I also intended to use it in rock. I love Soundgarden and other proggy doomy bands so I wanted it to be my main guitar for a band, then I found out how much fun it is as a twang machine. Punk Rock got me into music, Ian Mackaye has a duo with a baritone I believe and you’re right this thing is muscular and also rich in tone. I would love to hear what you do with it 🤘
@@reubensinnema don’t you know that sometimes the algorithm is on beat! P.S. I use the heavier Dunlop VI set, goes to a 95 and I find it way tighter for the E-E tuning.
@@abetreblebass Thank you so much... It would be great if you played through a guitar ramp and then through a Bass amp... You'd be saving me a few thousand dollars LOL. Thanks again.
@@dwightbernheimer331 dang I should have thought of that! I have done it before, I will say that the bass is obviously rounder through a bass amp, but it feels to me more like a mediocre bass with high strings that way. Playing it through a brassy fender amp is the sound I fell in love with, although I've done bass gigs with the VI through my rumble. I'll do it next time!
@@abetreblebass Thank you, I just didn't want to have to buy Two amps one guitar and one bass... You're saving me money all the time LOL thanks for responding.
@@paninovevo1162 buy it my friend, you won’t regret it and they will continue to rise in price. It’s a great bass if you use your fingers and set the amp right, but then it’s also great with a capo for a higher baritone sound. Really versatile hahaha you won’t regret it!
That's my Vox SDC-33, basically an sg with p90s and rails that you can engage or take out! I use it in my band Yucca Man, check us out on IG to hear it!
This is fantastic. Pulling all that beautiful potential out of the VI. Great playing. I just got the same guitar an am looking forward to the same. Thanks for posting.
@@LANIROMEE always rounds. Flats will give you great bass sounds but not as much twang. Sometimes baritones had flats in the old days but I find that they were usually played bright through fender or magnatone amps. Try flats and tell us all how it goes!
see you, space cowboy. on the waves of space and time.
🤘 catch some hypersonic vibrations out there 🌊🌊
yay
Great playing Bravo. You have shown me the way with the Bass VI.
Im so glad! There’s a wealth of info about them now, the djent crowd and the Cure fans have seen to that.

@@abetreblebass Thanks for that information. I will check out those tunes.
Uh, oh... Now I want a Bass VI! Well done!
My friend, that’s how it happened for me! Thank you so much. Also, go buy one, you definitely will never regret it!
it's so good that i've watched it 10 times already
especially Ghosts riders in the sky. I like, how dark it sounds
Imagine how great it would be if you made the full version
Compelling!! I was thinking I’d do another one more focused on surf, requests??

Could listen to this all day on loop!
Thank you man!!! This warms my heart, I'll have to do another one soon!!
I love westerns and I love the fender bass vi!!! This is awesome, this is inspiring me to get mine out for some spaghetti western sounds!
Please do, and tag me in whatever you do!
Well done. Capo can really make it a solo instrument, never thought of that
You know my original thought was that I’d capo it either at A B or C depending on what sort of baritone I wanted, even going to say G or G sharp to keep up with modern stuff, but I love it open as well. It invigorated my love for late 50s rock into surf sounds. It does however kick ass with a capo!
Fantastic!!! That is what the Bass V1 is for!! Bravo!!!
Gracias!!! It's a twang machine!!
Bass VI is for the cure 's disintegration))
Ghost chickens in the sky and Twin Peaks 😍
@@OhBooD ghost chickens in the sky is right!! Thank you for that one!!
Just bought a bass vi and this is the sounds I want to practice, love this!
Great to hear!! A big loud twangy fender amp will get you there. Bridge pickup for maximum twang 🤘🤘 don’t forget the reverb and perhaps tremolo!
Nice! Capo works great! The Bass VI is as versatile as it is odd. 👍now can I justify getting another guitar 🤔

Didnt expect Twin Peaks
X Files didn’t fit the theme! Next time…
Really cool
Thank you!! 🤘
was not expecting the twin peaks theme! fucking awesome man!
Hahaha thank you!! It just fits so well I think, and you run out of famous baritone songs quick!
Simply Awesome 👏!!!
Thank you my friend, thank you!
Finger picking with a pick. Un-believable. 🤠
Thank you so much, I am quite self conscious about my hybrid picking but I love the sound so much. More to come!
Diggin' the trip man. Thank you.
I’m glad I could help you turn on tune in and drop out 🤘 thank you for your words for encouragement 💜
Amazing
@@vikingsofvintageaudio7470 🤘💜🤘 thank you so much 🙏
Thanks for a great show 🤠
A thousand thank yous, I’m glad you dig this one. I sort of wish I had that handlebar still…
Magnificent!
@@maksymcherniavskyi muchas gracias!!
One word: Awesome! Inspires me to get my Bass VI out. Thank you.
I’m so glad you’re inspired to bust it out, it definitely gets more love these days than it used to but I feel it’s potential has still not been reached. Twang on!!
YOOO, that's awesome man! I can hear the deep words, "Ghost Riders in the Sky".
I just use mine for playing some Obituary, lol... \m/
I actually love it for hard rock and metal, I know right now it’s been rediscovered for that purpose but I always loved playing Mötorhead on it and such! There will be a rock medley soon…
I'm looking at getting my hands on one of these babies soon. Nice work Frank. Thanks.
Glad I could be of service and please remember to watch out where the huskies go 🤘
Nice one👍 , this puts a big smile on my face, well played😃
Thank you friend, more to come, I pulled it out the other day and jammed for way too long.
Fantastica performance e .. che SUONO!!!!
Mille grazie!! Ennio e Basso per tutti!!
Hell yeah man, your just like me! Surf, western, weird guitars & cool hats 😂
Subscribed+
Wow thank you very much!!! I want to do more of the surf and weird stuff, thanks for the encouragement!
Damn fine playing , the owls are not what they seem 👍
Diane, remind me to look into a six string bass…
The Bass VI sounds amazing!
Thank you so much, it really is my favorite of all instruments and I’m humbled that you like the sound!

I quite enjoyed that.
🤠 👍

Douglas fir trees...
Contact Agent Cooper, I think we found Bob.

That’s high praise! Thank you!
Dude hell yes.
Thank you brother 🎸🎸
Sehr cool 👍🎸🎶
Danke!!
Bravo! Great playing.
Thank you very much!! There’s a part 2 that I just put up, let me know what you’d want to see for a third!
Great job pardner.
Muchas gracias compadre!
Yo this is super sick!
Thank you brother! Viva Metal!!🤘
Nice groove and sick tone
Thanks pardner! Its just the VI through a Blues Deluxe with the reverb up and a TR-2 for trem, pretty clean signal!
Just great !
Thank you sir, tip of my hat to ya 🤠
Outstanding!!!... Would like to see another video using the entire fretboard... Thanks for posting...
Stay tuned, something is being uploaded currently...

Thanks pardner! 🤠🐎🐎🐂🐂
Great playing love the sound
Thank you! Trying to keep the tic tac sound going strong, the VI loves my deluxe.
@@abetreblebass found a second hand squier bass vi for 380€ (in Thomann website is now 480€) and after your video I crave it so much hahahaha
@@paninovevo1162 buy it my friend, you won’t regret it and they will continue to rise in price. It’s a great bass if you use your fingers and set the amp right, but then it’s also great with a capo for a higher baritone sound. Really versatile hahaha you won’t regret it!
@@abetreblebass i was thinking to buy it and experiment with it and maybe transform it it a baritone guitar
@@paninovevo1162 that was my first thought as well! Then I fell in love with the tuning
0:52 what is that melody from??? I swear it’s got like Johnny comes marching home vibes. That’s not from one of Ennio Morricones works is it?
Ghost riders in the sky!!!! I learned it from the Johnny Cash version when I was a kid, it’s that sort of phrasing!
YIIIIIIHAAAAAA
Yippie kayaaay!!!
Now I have to start wondering if we are brothers from other mothers.
Sometimes TH-cam brings families together, all hail the algoRHYTHM
Pt. 2?
Coming soon, I just came up with the arrangement 🤘🤘
Righteous! Huckleberry put that VI to proper use. Well done.
Thanks pardner! I was a might twitchy, but it was just a snake in my boot!
Well done mate
More like the Good, Bad and the Handsome 🤠
Takes one to know one!!
If you didn’t have the cowboy hat it wouldn’t sound as good ❤❤❤
First of all that’s a trade secret that I’ll thank you not to divulge, and secondly though it’s damaged it’s my only true Stetson 🤠🤘
Did you have to install a new bridge?
No i did not! I did however use a heavier gauge string set made by Dunlop with a 95 on the bass string.
Love this. What capo are you using?
A kyser 12 string capo, pretty much the only capo I use. It’s stronger than the standard 6 string capo so it works on heavier instruments!
sir, what is the song you're playing at 0:20 ?
My friend it is the same as the beginning! It’s the second melody of the Good the Bad and the Ugly theme! My favorite of all Spaghetti Western themes!
@@abetreblebass I love your take on it! Thank you so much!
@@DoodlezMusic thank you so much my friend!! What kind of stuff would you like to see in the future?
A-A with capo on the 5th would make it C# sharp?
Actually I keep the Bass VI tuning so it's an E-E capoed at 5. That makes it A-A!!!
What is the name of that song pls
The Good The Bad and The Ugly Theme, Ghost Riders in the Sky, Theme from Twin Peaks, Walk Don’t Run!
Damn, what is that double cut guitar in the back. It looks like a yamaha sg but different.
That's my Vox SDC-33, basically an sg with p90s and rails that you can engage or take out! I use it in my band Yucca Man, check us out on IG to hear it!
@@abetreblebass Awesome, I would love to check you guys out.
This is fantastic. Pulling all that beautiful potential out of the VI. Great playing. I just got the same guitar an am looking forward to the same. Thanks for posting.
Are those the stock strings?
@@LANIROMEE very astute! They are not. I buy either Dunlop or string joy sets that go to 95 for the bottom E
@@abetreblebass Rounds or flats?
@@LANIROMEE always rounds. Flats will give you great bass sounds but not as much twang. Sometimes baritones had flats in the old days but I find that they were usually played bright through fender or magnatone amps. Try flats and tell us all how it goes!
