To my ear it actually sounds like someone playing a Jazz Bass through a guitar amp, but that's just me. It's cool regardless, so I figured I'd share.

MrTwang September 30th, 2012, 03:53 PM Sounds like a 6 string bass to me - basically the same as a baritone but designed to be tuned E to E (whole octave below regular guitar). Guitar spacing between strings and a 30.5" scale. Originally introduced by Danelectro in about 1956 and later Fender brought out their version - the Bass VI. Not sure when the track you posted was recorded but Pete Anderson (who played on a lot of Dwight's stuff) is often credited with playing 6 string bass on his recordings. psychetelec October 1st, 2012, 05:24 PM Definitely a 6-string bass, too twangy for a Fender, some kinda Dano or Dano-ish. Always popular in (real)Country music.
