What kind of six string bass should i get?
im looking to buy a 6 string bass, but i don't know which one i should choose. i'm thinking about maybe a music man bongo 6 but it may be a little on the expensive side. Anybody have any recommendations?
You should go used. Sign up on talkbass.com, they have great deals on used gear. It's also very hard to get ripped off on talkbass, as people will track scammers and shut them down. Plenty of sixers to go around there, and for modest prices. If you insist on new, think about a custom bass from DP custom basses. Dave makes some fantastic work, and though it's not flawless, it's certainly good work. He charges modest prices for his stuff too, so don't worry about breaking the bank. However, if you're not looking too favorably at a 5-8 month build time, consider Ibanez, Schecter, or ESP.
