Because it's cool!
So what's the difference between that and a bari, thought they were the same.
I love my Jerry Jones baritone ! |

| I always thought the only differences were string sets and tunings. |

I understand that the Bass Guitar has larger pegs than the bari to support the larger string gauge. You can compare the string gauge of the bari and the bass on D Addario's web site. They have sets for both. There are many new bari's for sale from the big web sellers. This one was billed (and came strung) an octave lower than a standard guitar E to E.

| The difference between the bass and the bari on the newer reissue Dano is the adjustable bridge and the heavier duty tuners. |

| Well, it's high time I asked, as I still don't know: what is the term 'tic tac' all about in the music/recording game? |

James:
The "tic-tac" bass is named that due to the actual sound that it makes when the strings are slightly muted with the Right hand when PICKED "tic-tac-tic-tac, etc.."
Back when the primary bass instrument on records and live was the string bass (acoustic), the tic-tac bass lended a little more percussive definition to the bass line.
Listen to Patsy Cline records for Harold Bradley on the tic tac.. it really makes those songs sound crisp.
If I am off base or if anyone else can lend a little more background - - chime on in...

Thanks Tim. I didn't know why, I just think it sounds cool.
You can hear it on a lot of 70's and 80's sessions also. I noticed the Tic Tac on some George Jones and Tammy Wynette cuts a few days ago on XM. Also listen to Russ Hicks over Wayne Smith's electric bass on the Laney's "Matters of The Heart" CD. |
