    I like the idea of that, does it make the open strings sound more like fretted ones?
    Checked some videos of Singers and man... Marvelous instruments! Still ... six strings I don't know...

    I'm a huge fan of the 0-fret concept. Having owned several Lefays and others basses with it.

    PRO:
    - lower, more natural string action in low positions
    - open string provides same sound as fretted

    CON:
    - none

    The 0-fret is typically a little bit thicker than the other frets.

    Thanks Marc. 

    The Peavey Grind is nice. I'll have to keep a closer eye on German eBay. 😋

    it is not classic ebay, where the platform takes some fees, but classified/small advertisements, hosted by ebay.

    The problem with 6 strings is, they're mostly at the boutique end of the market, and ridiculously expensive. There's very little second hand stuff at the budget end for people like me who  just want to dip their toe into the water and try out a 6er. 

    Not my point of view.

    Gimme your budget and I'm happy to compile and send over a list of second hand 6ers available on the German market. Most sellers are easy with shipping (in the UK sellers appear to be a little more prudent and often prefer handover). Beware of Brexit, you will have to pay customs.

  4. Kala Ubass California

    Scale: 21"
    Body: swamp ash
    Neck: maple
    Fingerboard: rosewood
    Strings: 5, polyurethane
    Pickup: Piezo
    Electronics: 9V, Volume, Bass+/-, Treble +/-
    Mechanics: Hipshot
    Lacquering: transparent, silk matt

    The California has a longer scale than the simple Ubass models.
    The sound is perfect for all acoustic settings, but of course it needs amplification.
    Country, Folk, Jazz can be played very well. But also in my brutally loud punk band it fits surprisingly well.
    Since I won't be doing anything acoustic or similar in the foreseeable future, the bass gets pretty bored and may look for a more busy home.

    Comes with the pictured gigbag

    FP: 700€ (net, after conversion and without fees) -> SOLD

    shipping costs depend on destination
