Looking for a 33" 6 string.

The one 33" 6 string I built turned out great and I will definitely be making another one for myself. I used titanium rods in the neck, and the low B is solid!
I don't sell my basses anymore, but my opinion is that a 33-inch 6 string is a great bass.

Some great mentions here already...I would suggest my good friend Martin Keith. I've been playing 33" scale 6s for years now. Martin has a knack for building shorter scale lengths with brilliant low B strings...and they are also ergonomic and play like a dream. I can't recommend him enough. I have a semi-hollow and a headless from him, and have a 33" 5 on order.
