Does anybody play six string basses? I love them!!!

[SixStrings4Ever]

I use to play guitar until being forced to play the bass. At first it was boring until I started seeing bass players on youtube and I was blown away by the potential the bass guitar really had!

I even discovered that they made 6 string basses! This made my transition to the bass a lot easier! I tune it BEADGC but some times E to E!

Anybody else play 6 strings?

Wait- you mean there are basses with less than six strings?

No one plays six-string basses. This is all a strange dream...

And a fellow NJ dweller!

I've heard about some guy named Jocko. I've heard mixed reviews about him, but he made bass fairly popular.

You're a little ignorant in the bass work B-ty.

Just picked me up a new Cirrus 6'er last week. I think 6 strings are the training wheels to ERB's. Once you get the hang of them you'll be popping wheelies and bunny hops on 8,9, and 10+'s in no time.

Go 7+ if shopping.. more useful notes.
