Features: Fender HendriX Baritone 6 str Bass set

The HendriX Baritone 6 string bass set is used by short-scale lovers who want to get the most out of their
instrument. The specific sound of a the short-scale Hofner (Violin) bass of the Beatles played by Paul Mc Cartney
is world wide well known by bass-guitar players.
The Fender Baritone short-scale bass is for players that want more control over the sound, by being able to use
different positions of the pickups. The mid pickup of this bass-guitar has a tremendous power, the same power of
as the Fender Stratocaster mid pickup has. Upright bass-players know that the best sound and power is achieved when
playing arco at 80% of the scale. The amplitude of the string played at that spot is optimal.
Although short-scale bass-guitars are a bit obscured by the 'normal' scale bass-guitars, they are used a lot in studios
due to their strong mid-range orientated sound. Sound engineers love this because the lows of these basses can be used
without using a LPF (Low Pass Filter), which throws away nice things at the bottom of the spectrum.

Well here it is, for those who have the guts to play it!
