You're in the same boat as me then :wave:

 

Had like 6 basses at one point earlier this year but eventually sold em all and my cabinet... My cables and amp have been lonely, but now they are getting friends to play with:thu:

Only REAL Bassists play 6 strings

 

 

So all guitarists are Real Bassists? (kidding)

 

I agree that 6-string basses are great, and fingers only playing rocks too!

 

but you can go rid-ic-ulous with the string count thing...witness the 14 string zither monstrosities at Conklin etc... the fact that you never play chords shouldn't mean you aspire to be an autoharp or whatever i.e. no bends or polyphonics, all single note lines, which is what too many multi-string bassists do...

 

IMO
