Golchen Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I didn't know that they even did one!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu-khag Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Im intrigued to know what they are like as well. Ive seen the baritone jaguars around which look quite similar but havent had a chance to play one. saw one of these on ebay the other day. A tribute to Jack Bruce's VI [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TPP-JACK-BRUCE-Cream-Fool-VI-Jaguar-Bass_W0QQitemZ330385093109QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item4cec7c71f5"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TPP-JACK-BRUCE-Cream...=item4cec7c71f5[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Isn't the Fender Steve Bailey sig bass a 6er? I think it's fretless too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May look into those Gretsch Jet Baritones in the new year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it tuned E-E? And how does the shorter scale handle? Is it floppy as a wet fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 It's 30" scale - so the same as a short scale bass. With decent strings there shouldn't be a problem getting a decent note out of the (low) E string. You could always re-string it as a baritone guitar. Gus do one with a 30" scale that they recommend tuning A-A and one with a 28.5" scale which is B-B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
