Anyone play baritone in a surf band?

Derek (stompa77) - 12 Mar 2006 15:26:43

Currently I'm playing bass as a stand in for a guy that broke his
hand. When he recovers he's supposed to go back to playing bass. The
band has talked about incorparating 3 guitars into the lineup since we
all get along so well.
I think it's a cool idea, but am worried that 3 guitars may be a
little too busy, or that I might get bored just following the bass
line playing single notes or doubling up a rhythym part.
Anyway, while listening to some Duane Eddie it occured to me that a
baritone guitar might be really cool. Anyone else have experience
playing baritone in a band? They seem to be making a comeback for the
nu-metal guys (since they're tuned b to b, and those guys like drop
tuning) which is cool because you can buy one for a lot less then a
vintage Fender VI or even the Dano's.

See this post in context.
