Being a fan of the Fender sound and feel, I was just wondering which companies offer good Fender style 6 strings, possibly more modern (a la Sadowsky, Lull, etc) but keeping the essentials. Jazz pickups, glossy neck, traditional woods, 34" scale, and not too steep a price tag. Any suggestions?

Fender style 6 string?

I had the same idea only in a P bass
6 string fretless slab bodied P
Brian has a few 6 and 7 string traditional 34" scale Jazz basses about to be finished.

Wait, how does this song start again??
It looks like a giant Stratorcaster.JSCHRO7376 said:Check out Brian's line, he offers 4, 5, 6 and 7 stringers.
My Lowend 7 is ready to go and I will have it next week.

I'm sure he would. That'd be supreme cool.

I played one of Brian's Low End 5 stringers at the Arlington guitar show, amazing feel and sound.
Other than Low Ends, which are beautiful...
I have heard that Mike Dolan has made a 6 string Jazzbass, Atelier Z also made one... I bet Rob Elrick could be convinced on his NJS models.

, Fother Mucker.... I just flat out need one.Im suprised Fender hasn't picked up on the demand for six strings. I think it would be a good idea on their part to make a six string Jazz bass. Now that I think about it, Fender could use an all new model period...I think they've done just about everything they can with the J and P bodies, I think something new would be nice...but don't get me wrong I love the P's and the J's and the PJ's etc etc etc. 
Yeah thats a custom shop model...they'll make anything you want if you ask them...Im talking about a regular model...like a jazz bass
