| | | | Ernie Ball Music Man The Game Changer 6 string
Hi, I recently tried a music man game changer bass at a local music store and I loved it! My only problem with it was that it seems to only be available in a 4 string model and I mostly play 6 string bass'. So I was wondering if anyone knows if their is a 6 string model, or a 6 string version of a similar bass.
Thanks. |

| | | | Ok, thanks, guesse I'll be getting a bongo then. I haven't tried them but I love the tone that john myung gets and he uses one so it should be something like what I'm looking for. |

Either way the Bongo can pull either off, I'm sure. It's all in the EQ and the Bongo's got a good one!

| Well yeah the only reason there's a Bongo 6 around is because of John Myung.
