Maude Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 And although I've no experience of that bass it looks nice and being Cort it should be good value for money and a decent playing instrument. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Wise to wait 2 days before ordering, You'll probably change your mind at least once! Just looked up that SR306EB you were looking at and I'd be tempted by that if after a 6 string. I like the fact it has coil taps plus a fairly unique (in that I've never seen it before) 'powertap' option that gives you the growl of single coils combined with the low end of humbuckers. Not sure how that works but it sounds good for metal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambrook Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I had the 5 string version, and thought it was excellent. Really good pickups and preamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Welcome to the 6 (and more) strings basses world. This Cort C6 is a good choice, don't worry. But as you'll become familiar with the BassChat community, you'll start your never ending gas. 😉 Have fun, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Nice choice! You can't really go wrong with a Cort. Will suit all types of music. Oh and GAS = Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. Horrible affliction that has no known cure 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frets will wear at the same rate, i.e. very slowly. Stainless steel strings will produce more wear than nickels. I wouldn't make it a factor in the decision making process unless you prefer the feel of one fret type over the other. Many bassists prefer the thinner vintage frets, for instance Dingwalls come with them, and also new Fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked out the SR306EB in depth and I really love the Split Coil system on it! But how is it that the more expensive series SR500 has the same electronics as that of the Cort C6 which I was gonna buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not least because, as @uAdi will be able to confirm, if you wander from the tip of Kashmir to the toe of Tamil Nadu you won't find a single language anywhere that is actually called 'Indian'! In the same way that if you try to find where English breakfast tea is grown in the England, you may struggle 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibanez must have chosen to go with named brand pickups for their more expensive model, doesn't mean they are necessarily better. Maybe ask this dude on Youtube, plays a lot of metal and has the SR: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I was going to get a 306, there were 2 second hand ones on richtone and andertons, but I dithered about for a while and they both went. I don't need a 6 but I could have probably used one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
