i love mine

they scare the sh*t out of guitarists

i'm not sure how much they go for these days...as far as i now there's not many other options...fender does produce a number of baritone versions of the jazzmaster, but i don't think they're tuned e-e

i'm not sure about 'cij' i think mine is made in japan...it's from '95 i think

Schecter did a version - E to E.

Hellcat 6 it was called I think...

Why? If it was up there with Leo's other great inventions we would all be playing them.

Had a go on a real one. Thats all. Nuff said.

Other options are

Burns Barracuda
OLP MM5
Danelectro Baritone
Eastwood Sidejack Baritone

There are also Baritones made by Yamaha ( Deep 6 ) Gretsch and Ibanez.

I am in the process of building one from a Danelectro neck, that I have ordered from Allparts, which should fit a on Fender body.

Isn't the Musicman Silhouette a Baritone, too?

sorry, no !

ever since i'd been a massive cure fan in my youth i'd been on the lookout for one...it took me about 14 years for one to be out there and for me to have enough money to afford one.

and just to be evil....here's a little something recorded just on my vi

That's nice - really like the Shadows retro-feel to the piece.

The obvious answer to that is that guitarists are all wannabe bassists!
I love the sound, but I wouldn't be able to play one...

He was after more than £1000, which is a lot for a second hand Japanese Fender.[/quote]

Yeah - you can get a Fender Custom Shop one new for around £1,500 from [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_bass_vi.htm?partner_id=73572"]Thomann[/url]
