Recordings that use Bass VI, Baritones

[Mysterion]

Come to think of it, Frank Zappa used Bass VI quite a bit. Much of the bass on Hot Rats is FZ, and I believe he made pretty extensive use of it on that album, crediting "octave bass."

Also, Jack Bruce played Bass VI on "Apostrophe."

Joe Perry used a six string bass for the main riff on "Back in the Saddle". Thought I'd throw that out there for the rockers out there. Tom Hamilton plays the traditional bass line underneath The combination of the two, the song just has this extremely excellent chugging locomotive quality. Definitely worth a listen to those unfamiliar, quick search on YouTube and check it out if you can . Like to know if anyone agrees with me there.

Beatles Bass VI songs (5 years late)

Hey Jude (George, at least in the promo video)
Let it Be (John)
Helter Skelter (John)
Long and winding Road (John)
Back in the USSR (paul on 4 string, john on VI)

And pretty much anything on the white album and later where paul is either on guitar or piano...

Soft Machine in the early to mid-70's with Roy Babbington(filling the standard bass function as opposed to any 'baritone' role)...

then there was the Brian Auger Trinity...

Jack Bruce's use of the VI on 'Fresh Cream' album was already mentioned, but he worked it in his previous band(along with Ginger Baker), the Graham Bond Organization...

One of my favorite Terje Rypdal tunes, featuring Sveinung Hovensjø on Fender Bass VI:


Album cover even shows the Bass VI prominently, although I'm fairly certain Terje (pictured there) never played the Bass VI himself.
