Amp for Baritone (possibly Bass VI)

[npfrs]

So i rented a Danelectro baritone recently - and it's amazing! At first it was tuned C - C and I thought "This sounds great!" That is until I tuned it B - B and now my heart wants one.

I actually tried the Fender Tele Baritone but it wouldn't intonate and actually didn't sound as nice, which is weird. Anyways... I also tried out a Fender Pawnshop Bass VI today - it was also pretty awesome. I put a capo on fret 5 to bring it up to A and it played fairly guitar-like (IE - sounded good).

At home, with the Dano, I'm playing it through my SF Super Reverb; it sounds full and I don't play past vol 4 really. At the store, with both the Dano and Bass VI, I played through an Ampeg SVT VR. This is about as much bass amp as I'd ever need. It sounded great, even though I played the instruments as guitars, not basses.

So, my question - can the Super Reverb handle the low toans or am I eventually going to have to spring for a small bass amp as part of my guitar rig?

Also, here's these for fun:

I'd worry about using what is essentially a bass with an open back cab, but that's just because it might get kinda flabby. But otherwise it might be fine. The amp itself slays with anything. Just, the cab is the only iffy thing.

Then again, I just lack experience with open back cabs. It'll probably be totally fine. Let 'er rip.

Pick up a 115 cab and you will have no worries.

A cab would work, if you decide to go the amp route look for a pignose b100v...they be cheap and sound awesome

I have one of those Ampeg Micro SVT stacks with dual 2x10 cabs I use with my Bass VI, sounds pretty awesome! Looking to get an Emperor 1x15 to complete that setup, maybe a cheap Acoustic head one of these days too...

I have a dual amp setup, a Laney Pro Tube 50 driving a Marshall cab with Blackbacks and a Marshall Silver Jubilee bass stack. Even if I didn't have a bass amp the Laney would be able to handle the low end just fine, it rips when you turn on the bass boost.

I'd love to hear one of these through a V4 or a Meatsmoker.

If you're tuning low (possibly playing slow?) you really owe it to yourself to use a pretty powerful bass style amp. It will fell really good. In my experience, a 15" can flub out on fuzzy parts, dropping harmonics and just leaving a (very loud) smooth sine wave. Some tens seem to work nicely most of the time. But of course the most fun is a bass amp with at least 1x15 and a guitar amp/cab with 10s or 12s. Thats the voice of god.

[Holy Schnikes]

I've run my Bass VI thru my early 70's V4 and it sounds amazing! Problem for me right now is cabs to pair with that setup. Afraid the 12s will be slowly destroyed from the attack of those low frequencies. Need to work on getting 15" in my life, pair with some 10"s, all good.

Not positive but I think Donny has some recordings of his Agile VI thru his V4...

Definitely use a bass cab.

Oh and eat shit for be way more talented a musician than me Donny.

I go keel myself now.

On topic example time

I only count this as almost baritone,...but I have my Tele Deluxe tuned to drop B and I much prefer it run through a 40 watt guitar amp plugged into a bass cab.

[Holy Schnikes]

Yeah, guitar speakers just don't handle that low end in the same fashion. Then they rattle apart. Shitty.

Since you are in the great white north maybe try to pick up something Traynor?

Also, here's these for fun:

my bandmate and I both play the tele baritone. decent for the price, though we both want to buy better instruments, (not sure what now that the gibson baritone LP were discontinued)
I also have a fender VI that I've restrung to AEADGb (like the tele baritone) and it's quite nice an instrument.
I biamp into and orange stack & and SVT-VR with a Bergantino NV412. the bass rig really carries the low end like a guitar amp can't (even if it is an orange stack). a 100watt guitar amp into a bass cab will bring you that low end node as well,just pay attention to how you EQ both amps to work together.
