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.
