Japanese guitars are some of the most under rated pieces of craftsmanship.
Yep 👍 I've always believed this too
Same goes for Japanese women!
Oh, you don't know, that's just speculation...😂🎃👻
Continental Aquatics YEET!❤️
If it wasn't for the German scientists help, they possibly would have won WWII.
You seriously have to admire Leo Fender and his team.
Absolutely true genius. Leo could not play guitar and was almost deaf yet he build all these classics. And usually the first design was already a perfrct classic. Maybe he was channeling the gods or something ;)
exactly. also this came out a year before the Jag. Scale this baby down, remove the middle pickup and boom, it's another classic. Pretty smart designers back then.
Bass VI is The Cure!!
Robert Smitho is the Cure!!
The acoustic resonance when you hit the cords before the demo... big time wow. Knew it was a winner.
It's kismet, it must be. I've been watching videos on the Bass VI over that last few days, I'm gassin' for one.
Then you drop this. . . the universe wants me to have a Bass VI, I know this now.
Love this thing, it’s like Mike is playing guitar and bass lines on it, even prior to looping. Sounds excellent
Love my squire bass 6, they really come in handy when recording.
I have one also... I played both before i picked the squire ... i like the pickups better on the squire for some reason...who knows maybe they are the same
@@BillyBongwaters I wanna say, and I could be wrong but I think the squire is more of a direct repro of the original and the newer fender has had some changes.
Depeche Mode!
Beautifull Riffx... THE CREAM also! Cheers. great instrument.
one of the few instruments which sounds good with all that reverb
You guys at Norm's know that Slash is a fan of these. He even played one on Right next door to Hell
I’ve wanted a vintage white one of these for so long
Rick Danko played on in the Hawks.
one of the best depeche tracks!
What’s the name of the song?
@@Livelaughlimpbizkit It’s No Good
A master on the Bass VI, this dude.
Is there a stringed instrument out there that Lemmo can't make sing? I mean wow...just wow! #AWESOME
A thumping performance for a thumping Thursday. Always the best...the Lemmo wizard. Blessings from Kruger Park in SA.
Sweet indeed
super cool
Think it’s be cool to see mike play one of these more often
The Fender VI was created to challenge the Dano baritone (tik tak bass). The Dano was used to double upright bass lines in Nashville back in the 50s. Fender wanted to siphon off some of the money Dano was raking in so they came up with the Fender VI.
If i ever get a Bass VI i'm so naming it "Big Pimpin'"
Very cool! 👍🏻
Cool!
Norm's and Bass VI.....reminds me of one of the best comedy scenes ever.
So here's the thing ... almost everybody thinks that Paul McCartney was the only one playing bass on Penny Lane and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Except he wasn't. The bass parts on both of those songs were played on the Beatle's Fender Six (by a right handed player). Listen to the Official Vevo version of this song at 10 seconds and 1:00 minute in (and other choice places throughout). Here that tremolo bar working? And, on While my guitar Gently Weeps, while it is true that there are TWO bass tracks playing simultaneously in most places throughout the track, there is also a figure being played on the bass six that would is virtually impossible to play on a four string bass. Listen about 3:45 minutes in on the Remastered 2009 version. Here that wide interval played on the very trebbly sounding Bass? I tried forever to play that and could never get it right ... because I don't have a Fender Six. That would have made it easy. So if someone wants to donate that Bass Six to me to practice with ....
And I would be remiss if I did not make laudatory comments about Lemmo's noodle salad with this instrument. Nobody could doubt the uniqueness or versatility of this instrument after he showed us how it can be used by a consummate player such as himself. So interesting!
TY Tabor a song called Her place on youtube kinda reminds me of The Beatles a little I think its his vocals that make me think of The Beatles Enjoy
Nice piece of insight!
@@RonMishra You didn't listen closely enough. There are numerous places in the track where the bass notes exhibit tremolo of a kind that I was never able to produce on a Rick. And who's to say it wasn't George playing on HIS own song? The Beatles were famously rumored to have played all kinds of instrumental samples under assumed names in the studio while the bean counters were sleeping. Maybe George called in L'Angelo d'Mysterioso to play that track (and got payed a premium session players rate on top of his usual pay).
The promo video for “Hey Jude” John has the Bass VI since Paul is on piano.
@@RonMishra haven’t seen that in a while, but yeah that was the “bass” George and John played whenever Paul was on piano for promo clips.
and lastly....will it chug? --->Y E S.
That is a fun bass 6!
Do these take normal guitar strings or are there special sets specifically for them ?
HEY SUSAN MICHAEL NEEDS THIS
Sounds moody. I like it
T Y Tabor for president Cause we believed (blame it) on youtube Enjoy Hi Jen
I heard a little Daft Punk there for a split second lol. 🤘🤘
And I believe John Lennon played one on Let It Be
On the white album too
Someone help me with that last one he played.
It reminds me of an April Wine song, cant recall the name.
@@FartsInTanks “I like to rock” is what I think you’re referring to
It's a bass Vi version of his own song, "Push"
Ironic....using a pick on the bass parts and fingers on the guitar parts...who's gonna have a tizzy about that?!?! LOL Great job showing what these can do! Always wanted to get me one of these. I have known some bands that have used these and made some kick ass music. Early Cure stuff, mostly.
😂great Good fun bassvi jam
Do more Japanese fenders, like a 2004 cij jaguar hh.
My Jag is a ‘90s Japan, though the neck was replaced with one from a few years later than the body, and it’s got Duncan pickups. I want one of these, but they’re so hard to find at a decent price (aka, I’m not Slash)… might grab a pawnshop version.
Try a baritone - some reasonably priced models out there.
@@davids9192 have one, but I can’t get it lower than open B before the strings rattle (and I’m up a few gauges already)
Sounds a lot better than the Squier ones.
I don't think I know of anyone who plays that type of bass other then John Myung from Dream Theater. And is that Sunshine Of Your Love I hear?
The bassist/singer from a math rock band called TTNG uses one he made himself
Robert Smith of the Cure uses a similar type Instrument. Same with Peter Hook from New Order. Carol Kaye fromt he famed 60's wrecking crew used one, and lent hers to Glen Campbell for Wichita Lineman and Galveston. Jack Bruce of Cream fame, also.
@@N0Camping4U So that's probably why Lemmo did Cream's SOYL.
@@randallw1977 check out the album Balance by TY Tabor on youtube bet you like it
Slash is a big fan (he's featured with one of these on Norm's Instagram), and he plays one on Right next door to Hell
These guitars are wild! No wonder Beatles used them! However! Gotta do a Maton!
Why cant i find these sub 1k??
Where's Greg .... 😥
02:52 is that a song that exists or just improv?
it’s no good by depeche mode
What amp is being used?
i am sure slash is playing back in the saddle with his...
Cool guitar anyway. Wish Greg had done this demo.
....and the super 400 thought it had a big headstock!
Let's hear some slap bass.
No Wichita Lineman?
Hmmmm doesn't look like our boy Greg Coates.
Something for everybody just not my thing, lol
WTF happened to Greg ?
He got caught like Frank Stallone peeping through the hole in the men's bathroom and saw Lemmo who promptly reported him to Nick who is Sargent of Arms over the bathroom and was banished for life...🎃👻
@@boss123400 Frank ever have puppies? lol
@@boss123400 Kid: mom what is dark humor?
Mom: see that man over there with
no arms? Tell him to clap
Kid: mom but I’m blind
Mom: Exactly lol
Barry Soetoro Lol. Hey Driftwood Guitars, master luthier is cutting guitars in half to see how well made they are. Gibson got some work to do...🎃👻
@@boss123400 I want a guitar that bends light, maybe a acrylic body that is hollow and filled with baby oil Bending light on youtube its science
So... This thing is a bass or a guitar?
More a baritone-bass. It needs special heavy gauge extra long guitar strings to keep the tension right.
it's a short scale bass with two extra (higher) strings
It’s a bass guitar. A guitar for bass players, or a bass for guitar players.
Yes
Helter skelter!!😒
Theres no point of playing it, since its just John lennons poor playing on the bass notes only him hammering the frets
CAN I HAVE IT?
Sorry to say, playing cords and using a pick made it sound like crap.
