Difference between Danelectro Baritone & 6-String Bass?

Post by flatfiver » Thu Jan 04, 2007 1:29 am

I've done a little bit of searching on the differences between the 2, but about all I can tell is that the baritones are tuned B-B and the 6-string basses are tuned E-E.  Is there a scale length difference too?  I've come across some conflicting info.

Well, I looked at the Jerry Jones site - his Baris are 28" and the Bass 6s are 30" so I guess that answers my question, as long as he's following the same specs as the Danos.
Anyone know if there was a reissue of the Dano 6-String Bass or just the baritones?

I am not 100% sure, but I think only the baritone. They made some cool RI 4 string basses though.

Danelctro version 2.0 from the late 90's/early 00's re-issued both Baritones and 6 string basses. I am not sure about the latest crop of re-issues.

Danelectro definitely made a six string bass as well as a baritone.

I am 100% sure of this.
