Been waiting till I was back in my studio to listen, the barracuda sounds awesome in that really like the high lines - did you use the Burns for the low bass parts too?
First and third tunes are just stuff I made up while playing (may or may not be other folks songs)... second was a hopefully recognisable attempt at the Stone roses.
What I will point out is the strings that come on it are the heaviest set that'll fit any heavier won't fit through the Ferrule for the low E without modification. The dadarrio set that's on it sounds / feels good to me but I don't have anything to compare it to.
Aye, they have a baritone tele with a 27" scale length - I came to the same conclusion as you they don't know the difference between a bass vi and a baritone... this is definitely a bass vi.
Was advertised as E to E and I've tuned it that way, sounds good. The pickups are 3 way like a standard guitar (same as the Shergold Marathon or Music Man Silhouette) - middle and neck only are great still to find my way with the bridge humbucker.
