Fender Special Edition Jaguar Baritone Custom

The Fender Jaguar Bass VI Custom Baritone is a unique guitar that is unlike any other that I’ve got experience with. This is a baritone guitar, but not in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s got the same six string make up as a standard guitar, but all of the strings are an octave lower. So what you get is somewhere in between a guitar, a baritone guitar, and a bass guitar, which is really cool! I don’t know how many other different versions of the VI have been made out there, but I’ve only used this one that is made up like Jaguar with two single coil pick ups.

UTILIZATION

Playing the Fender Jaguar Bass VI Custom Baritone guitar actually takes some time to get used to. Being that I’m primarily a guitar player, the thicker strings on the same type standard guitar neck is definitely an interesting feel. It isn’t as fluid feeling as a baritone guitar in my opinion, but this could simply be because I’ve got more experience playing baritone guitars rather than this one. Other than getting used to the much thicker strings, everything else about the way the guitar feels isn’t out of the ordinary.

SOUNDS

To go along with the unique feel of the Fender Jaguar Bass VI Custom Baritone guitar is definitely a unique sound. It’s hard to describe the sound of this guitar, but it’s definitely somewhere in between a standard electric guitar, a baritone guitar, and a bass guitar. The situations that I’ve used this guitar in has been for texture purposes and not really as a main component of a song, but I’m definitely eager to experiment with the guitar a bit more to see what other sorts of sounds are possible with this guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I don’t know too much about the origins of this guitar, but the whole Bass VI idea I think is a really great one. This isn’t an essential guitar to have around by any stretch, but it’s always cool to get a fresh sound with a twist on a familiar instrument. I’m not sure what kind of price this guitar commands, or how easy it would even be to get your hands on one, but if you’re ever able to play one I’d definitely recommend experiencing it.

CF previous opinion

USE

It is a beautiful jaguar violin entirely correct. it is a general truth in Fnder on the whole the Japan models are better quality than the Mexican models. we will not repeat the apology Fender but then when trying to put a deal ... ouch! I tried at Music International leader, the seller said "yeah yeah it's like a scraped with a BIG BIG sound ..." and my arm on a small combo guitar roland (!?!) modeling. Yuck. impossible to place a down round agreement, except for the last two strings ...
In fact all the charm of the instrument is the paradox between the first impression (bad) and the opportunities it offers neither low nor a guitar (must still plan to play a bass amp, guitar HPs numbers may not appreciate ...) we are a bit lost at the beginning and takes the game in low rhythmic alternating chords punctuated welcome ...

SOUNDS

No problem on that side, even on low-end amp we all feel the potential of the instrument settings not allow a lot of things ... it's insane distortion as long as you set the receiver, otherwise it quickly becomes very dirty ... I'm on the c ** for clean sounds, very round and very hot ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

In the end I fell in love. I 'want one! bassist in a rock band, it is the instrument that I was missing for a lot of pieces. too low rapper guitar not bad enough, and I finally tried this jag Baritone ...
For the price it's all good.
but be careful! try out before buying, the game is very special. Finger or pick, but great opportunities available to you ... I'm in love!

It is a japanese, a kind of reissue of the famous Fender bass VI. It is shorter than the original (28.5 against 30 inches) This poses a problem also for strings, but I will.
If not done well
Rglages a bit complicated to beginners, but quickly found its young. In fact you should never use the top slecteur to me (its too hot)
The pickups do not sound too Japanese mals, but suffer a bit high volume (I mean by trs trs fort), I am trying over the Seymour Duncan at the moment

UTILIZATION

Difficult instrument to play because resembles neither a low nor a guitar. We need to review his fingers and his approach to the race. No games dcemment agreement possible by using the A string and low E because they are too big. For those against the ropes, with a good distortion, a killing!
The strings are close to a game which requires the tab.
I put 6 for use in the first. APRS one tames the bte and we immediately find new positions of agreement and the Ides of components are scrambling ...

SOUNDS

The Premire four strings are trs deep void. To get an ide, it must cost the track "The Crawl" by Placebo. The strings of the MI and serious sound more finely than a normal low and also have less sustain. So this tool does not replace a bassist or a guitarist for that matter. For those against the ropes with a big muff, a gives you a good slap.
I play this thing on a bass amp and a 6x10 SVT3 Pro HLF. That's perfect. I also tried a Twin and a Bassman 59. It rolls too.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months, and every day she m'tonne. The instrument is definitely not versatile, but that's what makes it so charming.

Attention to the strings, can not be used for now that the strings for fender jaguar baritone custom. The strings of the Fender Bass VI and the D'Addario XL155 SERIES are too long. I ordered 5 sets of reserves at: http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/

Trs is difficult to obtain in Belgium, I believe that France is the same problem. After a while I took my car to try one in a store in Saarbrucken. They always have 1 or 2 in stock at a price of 695 Euros
