Agree, but I also have to say that my Squier Classic Vibe custom tele baritone isn’t just a high-end baritone, but might be one of the greatest guitars I’ve ever played. I was inspired so much over the last few weeks, me and my band released two new tracks on UA-cam exclusively using my Squier Classic Vibe baritone with everything stock. BLK + WHT- Hit the Wall, and God Forgot (To Save the Queen) Would love to hear what you think!
Being a lefty, it's even worse. At least PRS is supposed to released a lefty 277 this fall but when you want to go beyond 27", you basically HAVE to go custom at this point.
You can absolutely adjust the height of direct mount pickups. Sometimes you have to use different size pieces of foam under them to keep them stable when raising them up. Or at the worst swap in longer screws. I'd try that before giving up on the factory pickups.
I've been watching your stuff for a few years now but have never really commented -- *man* you're good. Extraordinarily good. All your stuff is top shelf content, and it's awesome to see the tools of your trade. Congrats man!
As soon as you started playing I thought, “hmm idk if that midrange characteristic is what he’s looking for.” And the pushed cleans sounded more pushed than usual, I guess possibly because of that boosted midrange? So glad you have this guitar!! It feels right for me to SEE you with that shape so I certainly believe that it feels homey to play.
I am going to make Rabea a guitar. Its gonna be 2x3 pine with a $4 chinesium humbucker nailed to it, a jack and ground wire, and 3 strings tuned to: tight, snug, and sloppy. Bet he can get a kickass sound out of it.
Immediately when you start playing, you know it’s you. Good on ya for creating YOUR SOUND! Thank you for your gifts of tone for all us seekers out here!
Always inspiring!!! So glad to see you doing well and continuing your musical journey been here since the early days!! Congratulations on being able to work with an amazing company like MusicMan!
I can’t wait to hear this beast with the silos in! Would love to see a video of you wiring in your pickups. Just to see how you do it since you claim to be an amateur at it, yet every time it comes out sounding bonkers 😂 would be cool to see the dragon and wave etch covered pickups in that guitar 😏
I can get the adjust the pickup to stick up just over the 24th fret if I want to ( almost touching the strings) or I can adjust it down right underneath the frets and get the height to level off with the fretboard, not the frets but the fingerboard. I could actually get underneath the fingerboard if I wanted to, but, that's kind of where I have it right now and that's the way I like it at the moment. They use like this dense gray foam underneath the pickup and then direct mount it this allows you to get upward adjustment and downward adjustment
This highlights one of my only gripes with EBMM. They won’t do something till an artist requests it. They don’t even know what kind of market is waiting for them. With that said, I really really love their guitars. I have one myself, and I enjoy way more than I enjoyed a PRS I used to own.
So few people check the fact that the guitar be balanced, great you think to mention it. So many custom builders never checking it. Lovely guitar, for sure.😍
Unfortunately I am not on Telegram, living on the far side of the numerical forest, a place with reduced presence of social networks and disruptive things ;) I keep only YT, FB and some secondary music only forums, having left under my wheels years ago the poor bird transformed in X by Dr E. FrankMusk. But thank you.
Fluff is the reason I wanted an axis ss baritone too!! I was lucky enough to stumble across a surprisingly good deal for one of the 60 starry-night units on reverb brand new🤤. It's my desert island pick for sure. I do wish I had the flamed neck like yours though. So awesome!!
All these guitars are sick - hope 1. this becomes a production model & 2.The production models come with bareknuckle silos! but even if they dont you deserve it man love your tones carry on being you, your awesome.
I actually commented in another video asking what that awesome looking baritone was. Don't know how I missed this video! That shape with the silverburst and long neck just looks so cool. Nice to see something a bit more unique, but MM have still managed to make it understated & classy. I'm guessing you have swapped out the pickups for your Silos now as it sounded a lot chunkier in your more recent video with it. I got something with a similar vibe recently myself...a Legator OT7T. Kind of a mix between offset & Tele shape...not the kind of thing I'd usually go for, I usually head straight for a super Strat but something just drew me in to that weird (in a good way!) shape. My first baritone but as the neck is ultra-slim it still felt really comfy for me (not your kind of vibe as I understand it). Plus a Gotoh trem to boot...definitely fun to play with on a low tuned 7 string. I've come up with a riff on it that takes some inspiration from those extended drop tuning chords you do...like when you add in a major interval to a drop tuning powerchord. Hopefully will get it recorded soon!
EBMM has never caught my eye too, too much as I’m a pointy shape guy. But this makes me want one. Been a fan for quite some time, since the early Chapman days. You ripping one makes me want one. I won’t/can’t, outside my budget haha. But you get what I mean.
Dude, great guitar, you are making me like those Baritones, and I'm in the middle of the Prog Metal lessons you delivered for Musicisum, and write a couple of riffs inspired, it's working, I need more of these, and please dude, I don't want to be mean, but you need a week of sleep!
Music Man make some sick gear, made even more incredible by your fantastic skills, I just really struggle with that squished headstock! Just personal taste I know, I just find it a really odd shape considering the rest of the instrument.
Completely despite you crankin' the high-gain you're normally known for, this instrument never stopped sounding like a true baritone guitar, and NOT like just a run-of-the-mill regular guitar that's just been tuned down.
Just wow! Nice guitars and the baritone sounds killer! If you playing guitar, I can sit here for hours and time doesn't matter. Waiting for your new album... 🤘
I guess you can adjust the pickups. There should be a foam underneath the pickups. So you just screw the pickup more up and within an hour the foam expands and pushes against the pickup again. And if that's not the case, then that's the solution. Get some foam, put it under the pickup. The screws should be long enough
Great guitar, great guitarist and great tones. In the final part of more playing it reminded me a lot of tones that Mikael Akerdfelt and Adam Jones could make, and I thought it would be incredible if you could make a video trying to recreate tones like in Opeth's damnation or even, although it is not the same to see yourself playing Shine on You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd, I think it could be incredible. Greetings and thank you very much
That's a killer axe. It sounds pretty good with the stock pickups, but I'm really looking forward to hearing it with the Silos. The Axis pickups lack that sparkle and amazing clarity that I love about your Chapman baritone's sound, and I hope that the Music Man baritone will do the same with a pickup swap.
Hey Rabea as far as your pickup height adjustments go, I don't know if you know this? But my guitar has direct amounted pickups It's a schechter C1 SLS elite. And anyway, it comes from the factory with some type of foam with one side of double-sided tape or whatever underneath it and this allows you to get adjustments up and down
Ever since Aaron Fink of Breaking Benjamin showed off his white axis supersport a fair few years back, I’ve been waiting for EB to start offering baritones. I hope it catches on; us baritone players need more options in the higher end.
Anyone wanna hear a couple songs exclusively using a baritone? Used a Squier Classic Vibe baritone with everything stock. BLK + WHT- Hit the Wall BLK + WHT- God Forgot (To Save the Queen)
Your Baritone sounds great. I have a JP15 by Music Man and love it. I have a Baritone Danelectro 66BT and love it. The 66BT if inexpensive too. The JP15 was very expensive and I love them both. Do You still have your JP15?
Definitely love Bea's tones. The MM guitars don't look like anything unique for Bea as a player, even the signature model. My custom Lacello has more uniqueness and vibe. I'm looking forward to the relationship growing between this artist and company, as I hope to see some really cool finishes and stylings. Bea has the best taste in tone, no wonder he wandered over to MM.
This should be a production model. There is a serious lack of high-end baritones in the guitar market.
Agree, but I also have to say that my Squier Classic Vibe custom tele baritone isn’t just a high-end baritone, but might be one of the greatest guitars I’ve ever played.

@@clipfishcarsten I feel you my Lefty brother. It's a curse at times for us southpaws
Reverend makes a fantastic baritone.
There was a starry night finish for sale on sweet water but it sold. They’ll probably pop up just keep your eyes peeling and have 3 grand ready lol
Dude, even your noodling around sounds like a fully composed song. Much respect!
I know it's just the light reflecting, but it's turning the finish into a silvery purple which looks incredible. Stunning tones as always.
Love seeing more artists bite off on these Axis baritones. Aaron Fink of BB was such an underrated trendsetter.
It's interesting how small the Axis bodyshape looks with the baritone neck, but it works so well. It's like a Lollipop.
😂😂
You can absolutely adjust the height of direct mount pickups. Sometimes you have to use different size pieces of foam under them to keep them stable when raising them up. Or at the worst swap in longer screws. I'd try that before giving up on the factory pickups.
Exactly!!
I see Rabea + MusicMan + Baritone = I click
No doubt
Me too... I just need a bank balance to support me buying his signature guitars!
I see Rabea + any title = I click
@@korayem 100%
Dayuuuuuum 🤩🤩😍😍😍🤘🤘come on MusicMan make this a production model, there is real need for this on the market
Hopefully some Sterling models too?!🤞
I've been watching your stuff for a few years now but have never really commented -- *man* you're good. Extraordinarily good. All your stuff is top shelf content, and it's awesome to see the tools of your trade.
Congrats man!
We need a Sterling baritone signature of yours next!
Some of the tunes in this are just absolutely chunk thick and SO Toska reminiscent man, made my day. Cheers.
Darn, I love baritone guitars. And I always enjoy Rabea’s playing. So this is… lovely!
Congratz Rabea! U deserved every success that comes to U, Keep doing your music endeavor & we will keep on checking it out!
As soon as you started playing I thought, “hmm idk if that midrange characteristic is what he’s looking for.”
And the pushed cleans sounded more pushed than usual, I guess possibly because of that boosted midrange?
So glad you have this guitar!!
It feels right for me to SEE you with that shape so I certainly believe that it feels homey to play.
I absolutely love a 6 string baritone. Not just for the obvious heavy stuff. They are so versatile.
It's SO great hearing you do demos with your amps again!
Music Man makes some of the best guitars…congratulations on the endorsement
That guitar is a keeper. Pickups sound great...so raw.
Totemist becomes Turtle Mist in captions. Another nice name for a band. Rock on
MM delivers again! I feel that their guitar are one of the best underrated on the market.

Always inspiring!!! So glad to see you doing well and continuing your musical journey been here since the early days!! Congratulations on being able to work with an amazing company like MusicMan!
man I can listen to you playing for hours. congrats for this new guitar
Now you just need to convince them to do a sterling version so we can finally afford a cool bartione! Theres so few good options out there!
I can’t wait to hear this beast with the silos in! Would love to see a video of you wiring in your pickups. Just to see how you do it since you claim to be an amateur at it, yet every time it comes out sounding bonkers 😂 would be cool to see the dragon and wave etch covered pickups in that guitar 😏
Oh damn… I REALLY want one! Sounds incredible.
I can listen to you all day

This is actually the first time I'm really hyped to get a baritone. Love the tones and awesome playing as always!
Sounds immense Bea! Can't wait to hear the Silos loaded up :)
UGHHHH what a beauty sounds incredible wanted a barritone for ages
Beautiful in every single way! I want one 😂
Man's on a silverburst kick! Looks so sick!
This highlights one of my only gripes with EBMM. They won’t do something till an artist requests it. They don’t even know what kind of market is waiting for them.
With that said, I really really love their guitars. I have one myself, and I enjoy way more than I enjoyed a PRS I used to own.
Your ambient loop pedal noodle jams are sensational. I could have a whole album to that shit man. Beautiful stuff
So few people check the fact that the guitar be balanced, great you think to mention it.

Lovely guitar, for sure.😍

Awesome guitar + the look of the videos in the new space are really coming together. Looks awesome!

I really think the Axis shape fits you and your style perfectly! Specially since yours previous signature was a Tele shaped one.
Please do another vid once the Silos and coil split are in!
That sounds epic! I need to build a baritone...
All these guitars are sick - hope 1. this becomes a production model & 2.The production models come with bareknuckle silos!
but even if they dont you deserve it man love your tones carry on being you, your awesome.

Super nice guitar Dude! Happy for you!
So well deserved! Looks killer man!!
Awesome buddy glad you like it, love your playing keep up the good work
Man, love the tone on that thing.
Oh yeah, that thing is killer. Sounds damn good to me. I use pen springs behind direct mount pups so you can adjust them. Cheap fix.
I love that headstock so much better than the Chapman one. Congrats Bea.
OMG That background music!
Badass man, I'd love Music Man one day 🔥
A beautiful beast!
Great guitar !!! Nice review and playing
Dude, great guitar, you are making me like those Baritones, and I'm in the middle of the Prog Metal lessons you delivered for Musicisum, and write a couple of riffs inspired, it's working, I need more of these, and please dude, I don't want to be mean, but you need a week of sleep!
GREAT tones!!!
Oh man, someone was just asking for something like this in a 7 string. People would buy the hell out of a EBMM 7 string bari.
love that
Music Man make some sick gear, made even more incredible by your fantastic skills, I just really struggle with that squished headstock! Just personal taste I know, I just find it a really odd shape considering the rest of the instrument.
It's the squished body of the baritone I'm struggling with!
Awesome 🤘💪🏻🎸 don’t forget us lefty’s 🍻😎
Love the guitar...and the sneakers!
Sweet! I'd love to hear you messing around with that and your Archetype plugin too.
That thing is beautiful 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Also awesome playing as usual brotha 👍
The fact that this is not a production model still has me shocked. The dormant demand for this guitar is insane
Completely despite you crankin' the high-gain you're normally known for, this instrument never stopped sounding like a true baritone guitar, and NOT like just a run-of-the-mill regular guitar that's just been tuned down.
I was surprised to discover that a lot of guitarists back in the day played baritones on tracks that couldn't be farther from metal or hard rock.
Score man! well done
Just wow! Nice guitars and the baritone sounds killer! If you playing guitar, I can sit here for hours and time doesn't matter. Waiting for your new album... 🤘
Bea It sounds great as is. Id leave this monster and ask for a second for the silos swap.
I guess you can adjust the pickups. There should be a foam underneath the pickups. So you just screw the pickup more up and within an hour the foam expands and pushes against the pickup again. And if that's not the case, then that's the solution. Get some foam, put it under the pickup. The screws should be long enough
There needs to be a baritone only project with you and Fluff. Heavy riffs and ambience.
Fluff fell off
Bea, give them a nudge to re-releass these beautiful beasts, there's a market for them!
almost 25 minutes of juicy goodness. everytime. its a good day when Rabea drops a banger flick!
Great guitar, great guitarist and great tones. In the final part of more playing it reminded me a lot of tones that Mikael Akerdfelt and Adam Jones could make, and I thought it would be incredible if you could make a video trying to recreate tones like in Opeth's damnation or even, although it is not the same to see yourself playing Shine on You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd, I think it could be incredible.

That's a killer axe. It sounds pretty good with the stock pickups, but I'm really looking forward to hearing it with the Silos. The Axis pickups lack that sparkle and amazing clarity that I love about your Chapman baritone's sound, and I hope that the Music Man baritone will do the same with a pickup swap.
I really wish they would do a stripped down sterling version of this, I’d jump right on that!
Hey Rabea as far as your pickup height adjustments go, I don't know if you know this? But my guitar has direct amounted pickups It's a schechter C1 SLS elite. And anyway, it comes from the factory with some type of foam with one side of double-sided tape or whatever underneath it and this allows you to get adjustments up and down
i would buy this guitar, if it goes to production.
I love the fact you dont do Clickbait. However, I see your video, I click immediately.
Ever since Aaron Fink of Breaking Benjamin showed off his white axis supersport a fair few years back, I’ve been waiting for EB to start offering baritones. I hope it catches on; us baritone players need more options in the higher end.
I think it's great that MusicMan are thinking outside the box of "band guitarists" and considering well known UA-cam guitarists.
Beautiful Guitar Bea and stunning finish!
Are you using the standard Kraken over the Super K now?
Anyone wanna hear a couple songs exclusively using a baritone?
Used a Squier Classic Vibe baritone with everything stock.
BLK + WHT- Hit the Wall
BLK + WHT- God Forgot (To Save the Queen)
Would love a comparison of these pick ups and the silos after you changed them.
Your Baritone sounds great. I have a JP15 by Music Man and love it. I have a Baritone Danelectro 66BT and love it. The 66BT if inexpensive too. The JP15 was very expensive and I love them both. Do You still have your JP15?
14:30 thats the shit I LOVE
Great video Bea! The question is do I really need a Baritone?
OMFG 18:19
Looking forward to hearing this with Silo pups in there. The EBMM pups sound chewy to my ear.
Definitely love Bea's tones. The MM guitars don't look like anything unique for Bea as a player, even the signature model. My custom Lacello has more uniqueness and vibe.

gotta get a stingray bass as well 🤟
They should bring back their bass-VI models
Smell like a new "Bea signature"! ahaha
I want it..
