I just started playing bajo quinto and ive been looking for a good bajo but i dont know what qualities too look for. Im pretty lost so any help would be wonderful. Thanks and i look forward to your responses.
well if your new to playing start off with a Lonestar they are good for the first-timers. If you really want a good one though get a Macias, those are the best no doubt about it.
People who say that probably don't have the money or the patience to order a Macias. Mr. Macias does take his sweet time but it's worth the wait(and the price). Nothing tops a Macias. Nothing!
Get your hands on an Hernandez its what the best bajo players use,Intocable,Duelo,Tigres Poder del Norte,Juan p. and many others.these guys got bucks and buy the best.If Macias were better they would have it.Pick up a recent macias and an Hernandez and just judge for yourself.
MACIAS ARE GOOD BAJOS BUT THE HERNANDEZ BAJOS ARE EXCELLENTBAJOS VERY LIGHT WEIGHT AND DURABLE AND MACIAS ARE ROUGHT BAJOS CHECK ONE OUT YOU BE THE JUDGE YOU WILL FEEL THE DIFERANCE AND HEAR THE THE DIFERANCE VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENTED.
I WOULD HAVE T0 DISAGREE ON A PAYASO OR A MACIAS.. UNLESS YOU HAVE A MARTIN MACIAS WHICH ARE RARE TO FIND. EVEN THOUGH MARTIN MACIAS BAJOS SOME OF THEM WILL KILL YOUR FINGERS IN A FOUR HOUR GIG AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO YOUR SLIDES OR RAPID FINGER LICKS LIKE U WANT THEM TOO... MARTIN MACIAS IS AND WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST BAJOS SEXTOS EVER INVENTED FOR ITS TIME. WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZED THAT THE PUPIL ALWAYS SURPASES THE MAESTRO. MR. HERNANDEZ, HAS PROVEN TO ME THAT HE IS AND WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST IN THIS TIME MAKING THE BEST QUALITY BAJO SEXTOS AND QUINTO OR CUARTOS, VIOLINS, VIOLAS, TOLOLOCHES, REQUINTOS, AND WHAT EVER IS IN YOUR MIND THAT HAS STRINGS. THIS MAN WORKS WITH ONE OF THE BEST WOODS AND IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE BEST SOUND HE CAN FIND AND UP TO NOW HAS THE PERFECT MOLD TO A 1950 MODEL MARTIN MACIAS BAJO SEXTO CAUSE THEY KNEW EACH OTHER. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING BAJO SEXTO FOR MORE THAT 20 YRS AND TRIED THE BEST NAME BRANDS AND UP TO THE CHEAP ONES IN TIME OF CRISIS... MR HERNANDEZ, EVEN MR. RUBEN GARZA HAS CHANGED TO A HERNANDEZ BAJO SEXTO...YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THE FEEL, ACTION AND THE AMAZING SOUND A HERNADEZ QUALITY BAJO WILL GIVE YOU.. YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO BEET THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR BAJO TO GET THE SOUND YOU LIKE.. YOU WILL ONLY HAVE TO CARESS AND THE SOUND WILL FLOW THROUGH YOU FINGERS AND BRING CHILLS DOWN YOUR SPINE WHICH IS HOW FINE A HERNANDEZ BAJO SEXTO IS.. FURTHERMORE, WONT BEND AND WARP LIKE OTHERS. LIKE I SAID I HAVE TRIED MANY KINDS AND HAVE NOTHING BUT THE BEST LINE... HERNANDEZ TOP OF THE LINE... PROVE ME WRONG....I DARE U... LOL... THESE BAJO SEXTOS HAVE BEEN REFINED TO THE FINEST ABILITY AND DURABILTY AT ITS BEST. ALMOST FORGOT...MAX BACA, HERNANDEZ BAJO TOO, AND GREG PAREDEZ AS WELL...THAT LAST BAJO SEXTO MR. RAMON MEDINA USES... HERNADEZ... TOP THAT...ANY QUESTIONS.
MY BAD FORGOT SOME.... DANNY FLORES, COCO VASQUEZ, WHICH HAVE BEEN PROVED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST BAJO PLAYERS OF THE YEAR OR LIFETIME.... AND ME AS WELL OWN TWO OF THEM... 7KS WORTH OF HERNANDEZ BAJO QUINTOS.... TOP THAT BROTHA... NO BS...
THks, I as well own an American Fender Bass Guitiar very good quality. Macias used to be the best unless you own the old macias made by Mr. Martin Macias and even then there are some that can really give you a hard time on stage.
I have had both, Macias and Hernandez and both are great bajos, but i will admitt if i had to pick one it would be an Hernandez. It's really a piece of art you can play like no joke.
Sorry but you have your info. mixed up because when I was picking up my Macias Bajo Intocable was there picking up there new bajo and they also commented that there best CD was made with a Macias Bajo Sexto which was stolen from ther trailer
Intocables best recorded songs were with a Macias, and If I'm wrong somebody prove it, try and play one of there oldies but goodies with any other bajo sexto and you won't find that unique guitar sound unless your strumming a Macias...
Hernandez is todays bajo you see a macias and youve seen them all.every Hernandez bajo is unique, even a 1300 dlr Hernandez is better quality than todays Macias bajo.a martin Macias is the best u can get and thats it.todays Macias dont even compare to an Hernandez.The best use Hernandez.Even Duelo,Pesado,Poder Del Norte,Solido,Tigres Del Norte list goes on and on.
