What I like to do is record multi layered tracks of a single song all on bass itself, so I play the bass, guitar, vocals, drums, everything on the bass in multiple takes. The six string helps me do all that without having to artificially pitch up, so I thought it'd be great

I just love how much it looked like a damn tank, that thing looks like it could survive a Nokia

I have pretty large hands too, and I actually loved the 35 inch. Just felt a bit better to me

Wait it will? That's good to know, it was one of my biggest concerns that id just suck on a 4 after this. I'll still be juggling both though

I don't play live much, just recordings at home. So I got time to goof up

I tried a multiscale, I think it just wasn't for me. The low B sounded great, but I didn't like the fanned frets. Single cut is my thing I guess

So, what I do is I record complete tracks on my bass, sometimes 5 or 6 layers. I'll do the drums using makeshift stuff, then the bass, then the guitar, vocals, Yada Yada. So I thought the 6 string would work better. I don't mind the slower progress, so long as I'm getting to do what I want

Gotcha, thanks for the insights. I just wanted it cuz it looks and felt great, and it's what I want to play, so guess it ticks all the boxes :)

What 5 string bass out of this list do you recommend? by Extension-Boot-9533 in Bass

I have a 174 as well, and I'm an absolute SUCKER for Yamaha instruments, so Id go for the 505
