What is the purpose of this instrument..?

What is the purpose of this instrument..?

to be played by a guitarist that needs to sub for the bassplayer temporarily busy with keyboards;

to be played by a bass player just seeking for another "flavor"

to be played by somebody that likes a bass/guitar like that (a baritone guitar).

I review a different BassVI here, but you get a good idea of how I use it + theres even an in-action performance video.

BassVI's are fun, entirely viable bass instruments & can fill a unique role!

Paul never used one. John and George used one.

It could. The blacktop Telecaster baritone is a shorter scale & handles a B quite nicely.
