cocco Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Feeling a little 6 string curious these days, but I don't want to buy one and not be able to play it/not like it. What can I do? Anyone fancy temporarily trading a 6 er for one of my stable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I've felt much the same way on occasion, but then I've been bi-curious before and I didn't do anything about that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 So what is the best way not to spend very much money on a 6er? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I feel the same way on and off, thought picking up a 2nd hand Peavey Grind 6 and then swapping out the electronics if I like it was the best plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Peavey Grinds are very good! The stock pickups sound fairly good recorded direct into a desk too, but the upgrade options are almost limitless with them being EMG shaped. Only thing to note is the necks are VERY thin, so while they're fast/easy to play they take some getting used to! I also would recommend a Shine. My first 6er was an active one of these and it was super comfortable to play. Again the pickups are EMG sized or jazz sized depending on what you go for so if you really feel the need to upgrade its easily done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on weather 300 miles away is north or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaty Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hi Cocco, what do you mean when you say cheep? I have a ibanez BTB six stringer that I got for the same reasons as you could be time to move it on. Here's a pic Pm me if it is of interest [attachment=112309:IMG_0621.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
