Too many strings, where's it gonna end? A bass player only needs four strings, any more and you are a bassist/guitarist crossover
I don't have a problem with 4 string basses, they are nice, but I feel that a 6 string expands the possibilities and potential for my playing. I'm heading to college to get a Masters in Music performance, technology, and education. And to help me progress more to be able to shock and amaze my professors, I think showing proficient skills on a 6 string will do. Basically I'm just exploring options and testing the waters. I'm enjoying the 6 string so far, and I think I am going to keep enjoying it. Last note, the tuning is different for a 6 string bass and guitar. The guitar, as we all know, is E, A, D, G, B, E. The bass, however, is tuned B, E, A, D, G, C.
