Sub-Sonic Baritone Conversion Neck Unbox, Setup & Sound Comparison

[@nicgundy]

Thanks everybody!! I sold the Squier deluxe almost 2 years ago & got myself a Tom Delonge inspired Tele body & put the conversion neck on it! Check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGHEoWuVicyEqNk

[@noahzeidman508]

It sounds great! I was on the fence about going with the subsonic neck, but this demo pretty much has me sold

[@nicgundy]

Been over a month since the conversion & it's still enjoyable! Glad to help!

[@davidwilliamson8029]

Great video man, thats a killer deluxe.

[@vassili87]

I can't believe I found someone who did the exact same combo I was thinking of doing.

[@nicgundy]

Really?? It's a good one!

[@vassili87]

@@nicgundy I'm pumped. After playing so many basses/guitars, and after buying my very 1st 5 string plus my 1st short scale bass, I think I'm ready for a baritone. But I don't like anything that's on the market today.

[@nicgundy]

@@vassili87 yeah it’s still limited out there

[@vassili87]

@@nicgundy in which tuning did you tune your baritone to and what string gauges did you end up using with?

[@nicgundy]

@@vassili87 i have a different baritone for A standard w/ .068 set. This one I’m doing B Standard w/ the .013-.056 set

[@6oundStudio]

great video, thanks a lot for sharing. maybe one day i will make a conversion as well

[@RyanJohnston51]

Great info in this video! I’ve been really interested in buying a baritone like Emma Ruth Rundle uses, but those guitars aren’t in production anymore. How many baritones do you have and which ones?

[@nicgundy]

Yo that's a good guitar!! I got 2 baritones now; the Squier vintage jazzmaster baritone & now that tele I converted. Did you know she owns 2 of that same guitar for Europe & US tours?

[@RyanJohnston51]

@@nicgundy I did know that about her two guitars. So jealous! What tunings do you like best for your baritones and which one do you find yourself picking up to play more often?

[@nicgundy]

@@RyanJohnston51 For the tele(27”) I’m keeping that to B Standard & Drop A. The jazzmaster (30”) I like that in A standard/Drop G and on occasion I tune it down to Ab standard/drop F#. Bb standard was my favorite go to when I owned 7 strings years ago. I’ve been playing my tele baritone the most often so I can break in (hopefully not literally) it’s new neck & I still adore my jazzmaster baritone because of how comfy & natural feeling it is

[@CorbenEdward]

[@nicgundy]

Mission accomplished 😆

Yes!!! Nic 👏 Rock away brother 🤘

[@Goldarlives]

Did you run into any intonation issues past the 12th fret? Looking to get one of these bad boys

[@nicgundy]

Nope, once I had the nut trimmed down professionally it was smooth sailing

[@peterarndt3068]

Needs a set up bad

[@nicgundy]

It’s been mostly taken care of since then, got the nut sanded down after shooting this video

[@kdakan]

Strings are terribly out of tune

[@nicgundy]

Oh yeah it was *bleghhhh* mainly because at that time the nut of the neck wasnt soldered down but was taken care of after filming
