Just diving into the 6 String World. Please suggest me any website or YouTube channel that starts from absolute beginner on a 6 string.

I don't wanna mess up my first 6 string that's the only reason I'm so cautious about everything before I buy But my mind is very clear now. Did hours of research on the neck, scale, string spacings and ton of videos haha I guess I'll be going with that Ibanez SR306EB.

Haha already checked out his video and he replied to my comments on this same video. Told me that the PowerSpan are superior to MK1s and the bass is ultra light and very slim. So I'm firm on the SR306EB now. (1 day remains until I order :p)

Ibanez it is then. Thank You! Actually I could not play the bass before buying it that's why I'm knit picking everything up.

I was asking because I'm gonna buy a Cort C6 Plus which has the Bartolinis but someone suggested me to check out the SR306EB which has the PowerSpan pickups and now I'm confused again if I should buy the Cort or not.

1) Bartolini MK1 and MarkBass EQ or 2) PowerSpan Pickups system and the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3 Way EQ with Coil Split ?

Wow. Now I'm back to Square one! I checked out the SR306EB in depth and I really love the Split Coil system on it! But how is it that the more expensive series SR500 has the same electronics as that of the Cort C6 which I was gonna buy?

Is the neck slim and comfortable?

Ohh yea I had liked that bass a lot but it has medium frets and I think they wear much faster than the jumbo frets?

Ohh I see hehe Thanks friend I already feel welcomed in this community

Haha Really? 😅 Thanks!

Thanks a ton friend! Yes I hope so! Gonna be so happy when it arrives

Sorry if I didn't write it properly I don't speak English

Ok so 2 posts later I’ve got down to this bass. https://www.bajaao.com/products/cort-c6-plus-zbmh-6-string-electric-bass-guitar?variant=13041476206664 Does anyone owns this bass or a similar series bass? If yes please let me know if I should get it or not? I was on a budget of 400 Dollars and thanks everyone for helping out! If you guys have any last minute suggestions, yall are welcome! I’ll wait for 2 days before ordering:D

Ok so I’m posting a modified version of my older question because I agree it lacked a lot of information required. Here’s the deal. I live in India and there’s only one website that I could buy a bass from and that is www.bajaao.com (Any Indians who knows a better one please let me know) All other websites like Sweetwater , Thomann etc would cost me very high import duties. So here’s an insight of my budget and what kind of music i’m looking to play on the bass. My Budget is 400 Dollars ( Around 29000 Indian Rupees) I wanna play Necrophagist , Maiden and Opeth. Can you please visit the website ( www.bajaao.com) and find me a nice bass that suits my needs? Because that’s the only place I could buy the bass from! Please don’t ask me to go out and play some basses myself because my city doesn’t have any big music stores and everyone in my city gets their instruments from the website I mentioned. So I can’t actually play them before I buy them. Preferably a 5 String or 6 String ! Sorry for my bad English!

I don’t actually care about the brand name..I already have a Cort X300 Electric Guitar and I absolutely love it. A5 is actually my favourite one..but it’s very expensive for my budget (mine is 400 dollars) . If you could suggest me a better option for my budget, it would be a great help! Mostly gonna play Necrophagist, maiden and opeth!

I live in India and Thomann or any other bigger websites would cost me a lot of Import Duties. There’s only one website (www.bajaao.com) from where i buy my instruments. If you could checkout that website and suggest me a better option, that would be a great help. FYI my budget is 400 dollars and i mostly wanna play Necrophagist, maiden and opeth.

Thanks a lot that is very helpful! I was rooting for the corts because of their electronics! the bartolinis and Markbass EQ but you’re point now makes me more inclined towards the Sterling. Just for your information, I wanna play Necrophagist , Maiden and Opeth mostly..and my budget is around 400 dollars so it would actually make sense if you could suggest me a better option other than my above mentioned basses in that price range.

Hi! I mostly wanna play Necrophagist , Maiden and Opeth and All three have a very different bass playing. So can you suggest which one fits the kind of bass playing on these bands?

That's the problem. I can't play any of them before I actually buy them as my city does not have any stores that keeps any good musical instruments . That's why I came here to ask for the opinion of experienced guys.

I'm not interested in making lists either and I really want to go out and play each one of these before I buy! But my city does not have any good music store let alone a bass store which would actually have the ones I mentioned in my "list". I gotta buy online and that's only when I get to play them.

I could play both but I am more focused on the tone. So whichever gives the better tone regardless of the string count.

I would have. But I live at a place where there's no major music shop. I gotta buy online only then I would know.

1) Sterling StingRay 5 2) Cort C6 Plus Zbmh 3) Cort B5 Plus AS RM 4) Ibanez SR306EB Any other from the similar price range of the above?
