Very dramatic! Is your baritone tuned in standard baritone tuning? ( B - E - A - D - F#  - B ) This is a full fourth below standard tuning, and sure gives lots of low-end growl under your main theme.

Totally agree, when played the conventional way. Trying to get three fingers crammed together in one fret is nuts. I've been using this easy variation for years, 'cuz my hands are quite large. And if you invert your knuckle a bit on the 3rd finger, you can still get the top F# to ring nicely.

Beamer - that riff sounds ominous - like something is lurking or something dangerous is about to happen.  Very good sound.

Re: Just an idea

Thanks guys.

TF,  yes that is exactly how its tuned.  and using a set of Baritone strings.  My tech filed the nut so as to fit it and tweaked a few other things.
