I have yet to come across one, but I do love Ibanez basses :love:

I have a D**o U2 bari which I switch back and forth between bass VI and bari, it sounds and plays better in bari though. I've played one of those Hellcats and they are cool but I still haven't found a bass VI better then the one Fender [90's MIJ] one I played at a GC once.

i have an agile lp style baritone and it is pretty solid for a cheap guitar, but if we are talking double necks i would love a 6 string bass 12 string guitar double!!! :cool:

busy meditating :lol:

I'd really love to hear experiences from people playing this new Ibanez thingy, and a comparison with the bass VI would be amazing!

I own the other agile extended scale and the mmm1. I like the ibanez more as it feels more comfortable to play and plays more like a guitar. The 30" scale of the agile makes it a bit tougher to play and I feel you need to pair it with the right amp so that it doesn't get too muddy. I did change the pickups to guitar fetish nyII and that helped a lot. I haven't played it in a long time now though, so I have been thinking about getting rid of it.

I've actually always really liked those Agile Harm-1s. I think they look pretty sharp.
I've kinda wanted one for awhile now but I have so much guitar lust right now it's unreal.

In the first video I love how it accentuates his boobs at :33 sec., but also I hate the skinniness of those Ibbys...

I hate the Korn/Stained connotations but I love the sound... :idk:

Is there much difference between a baritone and a bass VI? Sorry if this is a dumb question it just that I have never played either.

Scale length. Baritones are usually somewhere longer than 25.5" and 28", then Bass VI are usually 30" and tuned to E

Modern ones yes, but dano made them in the 50's at 30" and their reissues are/were.. also going by what my dad has said about growing up in LA in the 60s guys would tune BassVIs up to A for some reason :idk:
