I would never use it in a band setting, just for solo stuff. I want to work on some flamenco style picking because I really dig using a lot of banjo picking on the 4 string. The 6 string just gives me more options.

I had an old 5 string Ibanez that I had set to EADGC instead of BEADG and I couldn't believe at how many douchebags had to chime in "should just play guitar then."

Clearly unfamiliar with the overtone series... Idiots.

It's good for open harmonics though.

I have no intentions of ever playing in a band again, I just want to learn stuff like Greg Bagley does.

Shit. It was "bump and roll" which apparently is the same as an upa.

The bigger the body, the better the tone. Atleast in my experience with acoustics. I played every acoustic in the store before I bought my Yamaha.

As far as 6 string basses go, I think MAYBE 1 out of a 100 bass players that use a bass with more than 4 strings actually use it to its potential.

Yeah, I never understood why it bothered people so much. It is a bass guitar after all and why should people care what I'm doing with it. One guy acted like I was beating up a small child or something. He was utterly disgusted.
