I really shouldn't be - I've done 6 strings a couple of times now, and whilst I genuinely like them for the novelty and have no problem playing them, it's not a feature I really need so they eventually fall out of use when the novelty wears off and they get sold on. But at that price and with that nut width, yeah, I could easily be tempted to go round again.

I'm tempted, but see nothing it adds to the other 6s I own beyond novelty. It's cheap enough but has the drawbacks of FSO aesthetics and ergonomics.

I wonder how the neck profile on those feels (graphite reinforced slim C, as per specs).

apparently, it’s OK

 

not sure I have much use for a 6 string bass (let alone the room in my house to keep it) but I am almost tempted just for fun at that price

Lobster reckons it's a decent buy as well.

Were it not for the fact that I already have three six-strings that I very rarely use, have an aversion to buying Fender/Squier, and think that the headstock is probably heavy enough without the pointless testicle dangling from it, it would be quite tempting.

Looks cheap 'n' nasty

[andruca]

I've never owned a 6 string and have only played a few. I don't know what I'd do with one. And still it IS tempting for the Jazz Bass lover in me.

 

I think it sounds way better in the video from Empire Music (clearer and more detailed high end) then in Lobster's (harsher highs). Despite what Anthony (EM) claims, I really like how the neck pickup sounds soloed, at least the way he plays it 👍
