Six String Bass Rec.?

[wesman2232]

Does anyone have a good 6 string recommendation for me? I'm looking to buy my first 6 string and I want to make a good choice
Don't ask me for price range, I'll think about that when I have a good idea of what I'm getting

[FunkMetalBass]

Ritter Roya 6-string with triple-buckers.

You'll never need another 6 and all others will feel and sound inferior.

[jarrhead]

SR506, SR5006

Definitely worth more than the price asked

[JAGGL3S]

Hohner Bbass VI.
Great bass and great tone.
really friggin heavy though.
about 15 pounds, so atleast you know if you drop it itll be ok

[Ben Coffin]

Any Ibanez BTB 6 string. They are like the SR's but much more boutique feeling and sound WICKED!!

I got a Rogue six but an Ibanez would be a better option.

[7StringBassist]

Medium Priced - 506 or LTD B 206 and mod it

I was thinking of the 506 personally but I opted for the LTD because of the 35" scale the Quilted maple looks great and I can throw in a better Pre and still have cash

Who do you think you are, Phil Lesh?

gtfo my forums



The Jupiter has its appeal, I'll give it that, but if I'm spending nearly $10k on a bass, I'd have to make it something relatively conservative that has the ability to handle non-Ritter strings.
