 A friend of mine plays a 6 string & site reads , He said that He doesn't have to move his hand around so much & Mark complimented on his playing .

That’s what I like about them. I can pretty much stay in one position on the fretboard.

I went F# to G on a six string. It was an Overwater 36" and was sublime. Sadly, my head could just not deal with it. I sold it. I still miss it. 

I am pretty sure I asked the same question ages ago but this bass also had a close spacing? I feel that it was a bass I wanted to buy possibly!!

I've actually no idea. Maybe the new band/project he's involved in is making use of the extra string?

Mark said he was listening to Thundercat and thought, "Might need a 6 string". If you're sponsored by Status and you can just ring up Rob Green and say, "Oi, I'll have a go with one of those", well, why wouldn't you? Pretty bass. All carbon with green LEDs. Got a bendwell so it's short scale. Probably 16.5mm spacing too. Damn mandolins he plays.

I heard somewhere (probably on here) that Mr King saw Thundercat at Glastonbury and got inspired.

 

Edit:he mentions it briefly here.
