Looking 4 a good Six string around 1k or so

[Showdown]

None that I know of. Like I said before, the bridge on Carvins is adjustable, so you may be able to get a few extra tenths-of-a-millimeter out of each string.

Has the OP tried 16.5mm? I normally play 19mm 4 string, and 5 strings that are either 18 or 19 mm, but I didn't have much trouble adapting to the 16.5 mm Carvin uses on their sixes. Just a matter of getting used to it.

"The Ibanez SR series that I've tried we're 16.5 and that was just a little to tight for me. If there was a 17mm I would be willing to try it." - OP

Well, my point is that sometimes you have to play it long enough to get used to it. It isn't really that hard to go from 19 to 16.5mm. I play everything from mandolin to upright bass, and that is a huge range of string spacings without much trouble switching between them. As in everything, practice makes perfect.

I was at a rehearsal tonite and the bass player had a Carvin LB76 fretless. The neck on this bass is what I'm looking for. Thanks for the Carvin suggestions. I will hold tight and wait for one to pop up.
