| Post subject: | Medium scale 6 string? |
Been keeping my eyes out for a higher end 6 string. I have always played 5 string with the high c, so I'm curious about expanding my low end options. I have okay finger reach, but I've always been limited from fully extending like I want (my hands just don't do it). I'm thinking of a 32" or smaller scale to help with that. Not even sure what's out there for these specs. It's already a tough ask, but lefty feels impossible without a custom order. |

If you don't mind headless, the Kiesel Vader can be ordered as a lefty 30" scale six-string bass though the builder available on their website. I haven't tried the Vader model, but I a five-string in one of their other headless models (Osiris) that I have used both with a high C and a low B, and it is fabulous (mine is 34" scale though; I think the Vader is the only option they have at 30", and none at 32" as far as I know). I also know that Zon has been willing to make 32" versions of some of their models in 4, 5, or 6 strings (in fact, I have a 4 from them at 32"), although that obviously is a much higher price point and longer wait time compared to the Kiesel, and they have been known to have issues with wait times and communication over the past several years. |

I'll bump on this. Kiesel is my normal go-to because of how accessible the lefty option is. I am not opposed to their lefty 6s but holding off since I already own 2 basses from them. My dream bass is a fodera imperial single cut bass. If anyone ever gets a desire to sell theirs, send me a message or post here. Doesn't have to be medium scale for that model. |
