Robert Babicz - Summer 2022 mix

Robert Babicz enjoyed early successes as a producer in the early 1990s. Over the last decades Robert performs at live sets and produces with lots of analogue instruments. Robert basically likes to locks himself up in his impressive studio in Malta not only to create music as a musician but also to pollish up the last quantum of perfection of productions. As one of the well known representatives of acid house techno, he doesn’t usually knows any stylistic limits. From acid or melodic techno - there is probably hardly an electronic style that is not represented in Babicz's output. For more than 25 years, Robert has published as a producer under his name Robert Babicz, but also under numerous pseudonyms such as Rob Acid, Acid Warrior, Atlon Inc. Since 2010 he has been running his label Babiczstyle, on which he only releases his own productions. A couple of days ago, Robert released his 2022 summer mix and I recommend to take a listen.

So I’m now seriously planning my first complete custom build.

It’ll be a Bass VI style instrument, a 30” scale six-string tuned an octave below a regular guitar.

There’s a few of these on the market:

Fender’s Bass VI, which uses a similar body as their old Electric XII twelve-string, with three Jaguar-style pickups and vibrato unit. Originally produced in the 1960s as a ‘tic tac’ bass, for country music, where it doubled lines below the guitar. It’s periodically been available since then, currently as a Squier Classic Vibe and previously as a ‘Pawn Shop’ version with a Jazzmaster pickup at the bridge. They had a bit of a revival in the shoegaze scene.

Ernie Ball Music Man’s Silhouette Bass. This one could be strung as a baritone or as a Bass VI. Nice, clean, compact design, but it’s hard to get in any colors other than black or white and it seems to go in and out of production.

More recently, Ibanez introduced a ‘hybrid’ 6-string as part of their Soundgear bass series, the SRC6, and lately upgraded it into a multiscale instrument with fanned frets. It’s got a Soundgear style body, a fixed guitar-style bridge, and bass tuners. Only available in dark brown.

I think what I’m going to build is something like the SRC6 but borrowing features from Yamaha’s current basses.

an Attitude style body but downsized proportionally; using chambered roasted alder to reduce weight

deep-set 3-piece neck, using inset machine bolts instead of screws, with two angled end bolts to pull the neck deeper into the pocket

Maybe a Babicz bridge? I talked to them about if their guitar bridges could accommodate an 0.90 gauge low E and they said it could be done by filing the saddle a bit, but I’m not sure I’d want to do that. If not, something similar.

Debating pickups. Tempted to go with Lace Alumitones for their hi-fi quality and lighter weight, but Lawing Z-Core Vintage might add some character.

This was greeting me upon arrival - Aerodyne Special Strat HSS basking in the morning light. ☀️ Great cosmetic vibe and some nifty features on this thing including the Babicz Z-Series FCH-2-Point trem, the chrome skirted knobs, and the requisite locking tuners.
