6 String Scale Length

[Kevin Sheppard]

For those who own 6 strings, what is its scale length? I often see the standard SL for a 5 string is 35" but I've found that the EBMM Bongo 6 is listed at 34".

Both 34 and 35 inch scales are pretty common for six strings. The Ibanez SRs, one of the most available 6 strings, will usually sport a 34 inch scale. Others, like the current production Yamaha TRBs, are 35". There's no set scale for 6 strings, and it usually boils down to 1) does it make a difference to me personally? and 2) what's the scale of the model you want? As six string players, our choices are usually limited.
