For sale KEN LAWRENCE 6 String

Free

Details

I got this great bass from picard in this forum about a month ago. This was my first 6 string ever and things aren't going well, I am not getting comfortable with this baby so maybe 6 string basses are not for me. I am not 100% about doing this but lets see what happen.

I am willing to trade it for any high end 5 string bass or fender vintage P or Jazz or I will sell it for $2,900 Shipped in US

First things first - that's a tidy shop behind the bass. Credit where credit is due. I don't think my shop will ever get looking that clean. (Well, maybe this is the day I start on it).

Your bass looks pretty close (I think) to the bass that Rich Brown plays (which he totally raves about). If I thought that playing a Lawrence 6 would get me even an inch closer to being half the player that he is, this would be a worthwhile investment. But I struggle with a 6. (I would probably figure that if I couldn't get it going with a 6 this nice, then the 6 is not for me.)

If it's a tone thing and not a 6 string thing that's the hangup, check out some of Rich's clips on YT. Maybe some inspiration there.

I might be wrong, but that looks like Ken Lawrence's shop in the picture. Having been there myself a few times, he has to keep in clean considering it is the size of a large closet, literally. There is not a better luthier out there.
 
I REALLY wish that I had known you were in Boston with this bass. I would have loved to have taken it for a spin. Ken's basses seem rare out this way, and they are among the very best that I've played.
 
Rich Brown is a world-class bassist, a great instructor, and a very cool and humble person! His Ken Lawrence 6 looks and sounds amazing and he really makes it sing!!!
