Very difficult to find 6 string basses

[Umskii]

[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]I've come to the realisation that i'll never find a Warwick streamer stage 1 6 string for sale [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]A lot of 4 & 5 string bass seem to be popular.[/size][/font][/color]


[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]Anyone have any luck? been looking for a while, [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]Point me in the right direction.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]Appreciated.[/size][/font][/color]

Well there is one for sale here on BC. It's a fretless but having it fretted is an easy and inexpensive job for a potent luthier / tech.

I think they should be banned. 6 strings? On a bass ? It's supposed to be about the low end, isn't it ?

Unless I'm mistaken, the bottom 5 strings get progressively lower? 😉

I am also led to believe the lowest string on a standard 6er is more lower end than on a standard 4

You could always string it F# B E A D G. Low enough?

Exactly this (lovely looking bass too).
