I know of a clip where it is at least partially live, however it's Carl playing the bass parts on a Tele.

Well, since it didn't happen without pictures, here she is. The setup was great and the action and intonation are fine.

All it needs now is a Ric-O-Sound jack! 8)
Great Ramp In My Opinion.

Yeah, I was thinking that, too. Stereo output through matched bass and guitar amps - killer! The only other thing I would change is the bridge - it's showing a slight bit of the bow that Eden and Woody spoke of. We'll try a shim, or look for an after-market replacement. Still, it plays great as is and sounds like a bomb! I'm surprised at the punch from these 4K ohm pickups.

Thanks, Tony! You might almost feel at home on one of these. It has some pretty fat strings. :lol:

I put a stereo jack on my 330. I use a stereo cable to split the signal, and I have a stereo to mono cable to use in one amp situations. It's a pretty cheap and easy mod to do, and on a baritone it would be even cooler.
Great Ramp In My Opinion.

I played a Danelectro bass and a Danelectro 6 string today in a music store in Armstrong BC. They are very well made for the price and they sound great. On top of that they have to be one of the coolest looking value priced guitars on the market. :D
