Ed_S Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycloud Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andruca Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 (edited) I wonder how the neck profile on those feels (graphite reinforced slim C, as per specs). Edited November 3 by andruca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 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.

andruca Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 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 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
