Man you've sold me on one of these! I've been a long time Ibanez 7 and 8 string player but recently picked up a few cheap squires just to have as beater guitars and I was surprised at how much the quality has gone up since I first started out.

@@BrendonKPadjasek is that squire a baritone guitar right? I realy like the tone and the heavyness of it. I am working on my ambiental/progressive solo album and came across this video! I am using Drop A tuning but it seems to me that this is different...
@brunofaustino.guitars it’s kind of its own thing. A baritone is typically 27” and only dropped 5 semitones, where the bass vi is 30” and dropped a whole octave. Some people do put lighter strings on and treat it like a baritone though
@brunofaustino.guitars yup if you go to my channel I have a 2 month review as well as an initial run down of the bass vi illustrating the quirks and things I had to do to get it the most optimal.
wanted more of the double drop g one you did, but this is acceptable LOL. fucking sick Brendon, most people can't write anything intelligible at tunings this low, myself included. almost seems like the solution is to ignore how absurdly low the tuning actually is 70% of the time lol.
Hahaha yeah I find it’s all in the string gauge and the way you record it and work around the barriers placed with tubing so insanely low Thanks for the kind words and for checking it out. I hope to do a super low song one day. Lower than G. But we’ll see how it works out
this is actually insane, and I love every bit of it lmao would you happen to be a fan of any Tony Danza's Tapdance Extravaganza (specifically Danza III or IV), or alternatively, Joshua Travis specifically ?? because, to me, it sounds like there might be a tinge of influence sprinkled in there ^^ in any case, looking forward to more bangers 😌🙏🏼
Oh absolutely. Structures first show (as a local band) was opening for stray from the path and Danza back on Danza 2. We were hugely into them after that night. Years later the influence still holds up haha
@SmolKattVT oh yeah. Josh Travis and Layne (their old guitarist) were huge inspirations. Ion Dissonance too. Not sure if you’re into them but huge huge influence
@@BrendonKPadjasek its pretty glorious look but has drawbacks, has to be dialed just right, hard to focus, but once you dial it its pretty unique. Its a fun exploration man
I hope not lmao. I was going to call it deathcore but I know at least 8 people in the comments would call me out for not having blast beats or something lol
@@BrendonKPadjasek I think the divider is more about the vocals. you can't really call it metalcore if it's all unclean for example. that's why I call old parkway meathcore.

A great track you recorded, definitely. It sounds perfect. Really awesome composition. I have this guitar tuned to drop g and I don't know if I won't change that to a, because that last string is a bit loose and generates a lot of graininess, even when I use soothe2.

I'm planning to test it on roar as it's a multiband, something like saturn2. Keep up the good work mate, record a lot 4 us.
I typically use the stl will Putney tonality for the gain pedal and then into the Otto ii ii. I also found that drop g was too low for this set of strings. Likely would need a .110 for that at least Thank you so much!
@@BrendonKPadjasek Exactly, even the luthier when he made me the setup from your video told me that this thickest string would be too thin from this set dedicated to the bass vi and that I should give from the bass, but I tried to play something on it. I was even advised against it. I will change that tuning.
@OskarSylwester yeah it’s unfortunately too low haha. I believe I mentioned it in the comments a few times on that video. Drop A sits really well with this string gauge. Even drop A# would be great but drop A has been glued to this guitar haha

@@BrendonKPadjasek just release all the mistakes and we will be happy. The last EP was tight but significant other, maybe solo project releases, if guys from structures have different thoughts?
Stoked to hear that! I have this video which goes over what I did to get it set up for Drop A0. I don't go over the intonation but I do cover the bridge stuff I had to do ua-cam.com/video/qbqem4FAw8M/v-deo.htmlsi=8bE8uuPuju-Bmnn5
You're an inspiration man. I have my Bass VI tuned to drop D, are you just using the Fender Bass VI strings for drop A? I don't like spaghetti strings so drop D with 100 gauge is perfect.
Thank you so much! I actually am using the .024-.100 fender set for drop A and I don’t find it too bad. I’m contemplating trying a .110 just for the top string as some of the other strings are actually way too tight haha
@@BrendonKPadjasek I'm using that set too and I just couldn't stand it tuned any lower than C#, I've always liked crazy tension on the strings for some reason and my playing style developed that way. Really tough to play cleanly even with really light picks 😄
@@BrendonKPadjasek Nice, I use them as well. On my Subzero Rogue VI in A0 they feel a bit soft, on C#1 they are perfect. But I have a very hard and inefficient picking technique :-)
Hey Brendon! I have seen a couple of your videos! Very informative! Would you mind breaking down in the future or just telling me your recording settings? Like input level instrument level? Like I was watching your recording videos , and the raw guitar amp sim sound you had was nice and dynamic but when I record mine, it’s very flat , I’m playin with a mayones guitar to the Radial Passive DI to my uad mic in . I tried all different amp sims and it never sounded like the shootouts of all other videos , like big difference , like it feels like I’m doing something wrong . Unless you have a group processing goin on your chain when you record ? It will be very nice if you can let us know step by step with all the small details please ? Ps, I’ve dmed you on Instagram, I know Instagram doesn’t notify you that’s why I ask you on this comment section hope this is ok! Have a great day !

Hahahah I absolutely loved writing that part. I made a mistake when programming drums and was like “yup that’s staying”
@@BrendonKPadjasek esteem from Russia, mistakes are humanity
@@BrendonKPadjasek still listening to structures 2014 once a year for wall of screaming and riffage
@edsharov absolutely. I feel like the majority of my favourite parts I’ve written started from a mistake
@@BrendonKPadjasek just release all the mistakes and we will be happy. The last EP was tight but significant other, maybe solo project releases, if guys from structures have different thoughts?
I've got a Squire Bass VI on its way...
Do you have a video or list of absolute "must dos" for setting it up for drop c and other low tunings?
Stoked to hear that! I have this video which goes over what I did to get it set up for Drop A0. I don't go over the intonation but I do cover the bridge stuff I had to do

haard rock
Rock and or roll
sic work! By any chance do provide ghost writing services?
I have before! Send me an email.
Can we have this on Spotify please?
Good idea! I might take all my instrumentals from this year and put them on a Spotify/ Apple channel at some point
Industrial metal on a squirer. Cuz why not??
My thoughts exactly. Thanks for checking it out
It's native Drop A or pitch shifted?
Amazing as always!
Thank you so much! And natively! I always tune it down since I can with the bass VI. I don’t love the way pitching down sounds
@@BrendonKPadjasek Holy shit - sounds sick!
@dylvn.klebold thanks my friend!
1:53 : If Gojira was in Drop A
My thoughts exactly haha
Also, 1:06 drippin
Hahahaha thank you my man! I don’t even know what my favourite part is haha
a Loathe enjoyer, i see, i see
Haha yeah loathe is definitely sick af. Saw them 2 years ago and it was insane
You're an inspiration man. I have my Bass VI tuned to drop D, are you just using the Fender Bass VI strings for drop A? I don't like spaghetti strings so drop D with 100 gauge is perfect.
Thank you so much! I actually am using the .024-.100 fender set for drop A and I don’t find it too bad. I’m contemplating trying a .110 just for the top string as some of the other strings are actually way too tight haha
@@BrendonKPadjasek I'm using that set too and I just couldn't stand it tuned any lower than C#, I've always liked crazy tension on the strings for some reason and my playing style developed that way. Really tough to play cleanly even with really light picks 😄
@sahamal_savu it’s definitely better for note sustain to go tighter so if you can handle the tension good on ya haha
Heavy as a 🐋
Hahaha thank you my man!
SICK! Do you still use the Fender Super 250s?
Exactly. They’ve been working great for me for this tuning
@@BrendonKPadjasek Nice, I use them as well. On my Subzero Rogue VI in A0 they feel a bit soft, on C#1 they are perfect. But I have a very hard and inefficient picking technique :-)
@Low_Riffs_And_The_Hook I’ve heard a few people say the same thing. I find it too tight for C#. Especially the 4th string
Hey Brendon! I have seen a couple of your videos! Very informative! Would you mind breaking down in the future or just telling me your recording settings? Like input level instrument level? Like I was watching your recording videos , and the raw guitar amp sim sound you had was nice and dynamic but when I record mine, it’s very flat , I’m playin with a mayones guitar to the Radial Passive DI to my uad mic in . I tried all different amp sims and it never sounded like the shootouts of all other videos , like big difference , like it feels like I’m doing something wrong . Unless you have a group processing goin on your chain when you record ? It will be very nice if you can let us know step by step with all the small details please ?
Ps, I’ve dmed you on Instagram, I know Instagram doesn’t notify you that’s why I ask you on this comment section hope this is ok!
Have a great day !
Oh I definitely could do that. Thanks for reaching out. I never check instagram. I’ll go on to post and then I’m instantly off. Here is the best place to get a hold of me. Thanks for watching!
@@BrendonKPadjasek would it be possible if I send a small chunk of stems to you? So you can give me some feedbacks please?
So sick. Add vocals pls!
Thanks so much! Haha I don’t even know what I would add to this. I’m so used to hearing it instrumental
@@BrendonKPadjasek long panic screams on every new bar
@vaaalsongs4867 hahaha that’s a start!
