I prefer 6 stringers, but I do keep a fretted 4 string bass around that is strung with flats and tuned to fifths (from lowest up: CGDA). Also the 4 stringer was my first bass and I refuse to get rid of it.

So, recently I've been given the opprotunity to buy a 6 string acoustic bass. Naturally, before I buy anything I have to do a bit of research, and a question arose. Where can I find a set of 6 strings for an acoustic? I went to juststrings, and they only had one set from TI, and that set was...

Sold.

Deal Pending.

Line 6 made a couple bass variax models. Hopefully they will make a few more in the future as well.

I've always been a fan of the abalone shell guards.

If you want to pay a rather large sum of money, you could always aquire the M.E.C. stacked volume/blend. That would allow the tone to be placed next to it and have it push/pull or otherwise. It would be more expensive, but it would allow you to keep the bass without extra holes.

If you're looking for a cheap bass that is replaceable all day long, there's always the SX brand. Sure they aren't the greatest, but after a setup, they play perfectly fine and do the trick.

Last set of pictures, unless otherwise requested.

More pictures. Also, For those of you who don't know, these are the basses modeled:

you could always buy precision (not the style of bass) potentiometers. Those typically are made to have a tolerance of 1 to 5 percent. They do cost a bit more though.

They are fun, and they definately have a wide range of sounds. I find that to get the exact tone you need occasionally you have to switch your style up a bit. Take the rickenbacker sound as an example, I find you can't get the exact right tone out of it without using a pick.

More pictures bump. Also, if you want soundclips, they can be heard here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] .

Now available is my Line 6 bass. This one is a gloss black 5 string variax. It's an absolutely lovely bass and it's in mint condition. Literally no wear that I could find. For those of you who don't know, this bass is not analog. It's digital and models 24 different basses. It works on...

Between the two basses you mentioned I'd go for the Ibanez, simply because it has a 3 band eq. Personally, though, if I had $800 - $850 I would spend it on a different style of bass. Used is a great way to get alot of bass for a little money.
