6 string

[bass5]

I'm gonna soon step up to a six string what's are some decent but not horribly expensive basses to look at. I've had my eye on a Spector legend but i want to see what everyone plays

I just picked up a Yamaha TRB 1006 and love it. Also check the Peavey Cirrus, Schecter Diamond Elite and Ibanez BTB series (great basses at a good price). If your budget is really tight check out a Brice as a nice start into the world of six string.

I play a Carl Thompson 5 string and have played a 6 string. I have a 6 string on order with Carl Thompson right now. They are so light and a dream to play. Just very expensive. Li is too short to play bad instruments...........

Carvin LB76 is a great bang-for-the-buck 6

+1 on the Brice. I own a defiant6 and love it. About $500 shipped. Definitely the place to start. Rondomusic.com.

The Carvins are good basses. You can usually find them gently used for extremely reasonable prices or get one built to your specs for a bit more. I've endorsed these basses for over 18 years and really do use them in every work situation.

my first 6 was an ibanez SR506 which has a great comfy neck and felt pretty good........this is coming from a dedicated warwick player that is currently having a love affair with a stingray! Haha

+1 Brice bass!

I own a Brice HxB-406 Fretless!

After owning several.. I'd bypass... move onto 7..

Conklin BDGT7 or GT7 are equal quality to some of the $$$$$$$$$ 6s I've owned and more useful.
