Show us your band
« on: September 14, 2008, 03:37:50 AM »
My band is called Slavantas and we play Iron maiden style metal and we all have cool nicknames to go with it.
 http://www.myspace.com/slavantas 


Slavantas on stage, from left to right: Yours truly, Caveman (drums), Beastings (leadvocals), Dark one (bass) and Metal Andy (guitar)

and now here's some action shots

Me and Beastings.


Dark one, evident in this picture is his Gretsch six string bass.


We talk the talk and as evident from this picture we walk the walk too.


This can only be classified as an "Action shot"

Yup. I did some work on it, I removed the Bisgby since it was hell to replace strings on the damn thing.

It's a 6-string bass not a baritone guitar.

just reading from the band's website and what blazer said, as well as some quick research. it's referred to on several sites as the jet baritone 6 string bass guitar. take your pick.

It's a 30" short-scale bass.
A baritone guitar is tuned A-A or B-B, pitched between a bass and guitar, hence the name "baritone". I believe they're usually around 27" scale.

Oh, what the hell...

Here's a shot of the band.


I'm using the Dean 8-string on a couple of country songs.  Heretic am I...


There's a bunch more and a couple of videos on www.myspace.com/generation03
