Baritone ball

[Lefty_SS]

hey guys

does EBMM make a baritone guitar? i know petrucci uses one on the Octavarium album. is the guitar set up any different? or is it just slung with strings approprate for a baritone tuning ( B E A D G B). pretty much the the first 6 strings of a 7 string. would the construction of it be the same as any other 6 string?

cheers guys

Isn't the Silo Bass a baritone?

Ok, here's my thread over at the JP Forum... discussing exactly the same thing:

Yeah, the Silo 6 string bass is the baritone. It's not tuned like the first 6 strings out of a 7 string. It's set up like normal guitar tuning (EADGBE), but can be dropped down to whatever key you might want it in.

It also has the factory setup option of an A-A tuning.

They've got one of these at a local shop and I can't keep my hands off it - every time I'm in there I've got to play it a while... It's really cool - I'd pick it up if I had money instead of children...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well I can wait another 5 years until the 3 teenagers are all over 18 . . .

Oh wait - College. Sh*t.

I guess I won't have money for at least another decade

Maybe I can get my grandchildren to buy me some EBMMs


I'll have to try a silo bass if I can find one.

Its one of BP's favourite axes too!
