    I got one nearly a year ago, I use it as a baritone. I use 13-62s with it in A standard. It stands up as an amazing replacement for guitar for Doom/sludge with the more bass oriented pickups reacting really nicely to loads of fuzz

    I bought this guitar to substitute 8 string but I really loved as a short scale bass and I constantly played it very comfortable. This guitar made me to love bass guitar, recently I bought 7 string bass:)

      i was about to say a similar thing, tune it like the bottom of an 8, you got a monster guitar, bet those pickups are gnarly too!

    I have an Ibanez SRC6 Crossover. I drilled out the first three low string ferrules and pathways so that I could put heavier gauge bass strings on it. I use it as a bass guitar, tuned low B to high C. It sounds great and is so easy to play and get around on.

    When using it as a guitar with high gain, cutting the bass with the preamp REALLY helps clear things up and help it fit into a mix.

    I bought a SRC6 once and it was a pretty cool instrument. I ended up returning it because it just wasn't quite for me (I ended up getting a 5-string bass instead), but I still think this SRC6 is incredibly cool and unique. Very well made. The neck is chunky a f. A nice piece of wood.

    Really really enjoyed this review. Especially since you started it by saying you were going to sell it, then played more and more and decided to keep it. I hope you still have it. This one seems to be a classic keeper. (2023) Can only find 2 available for sale in "good" condition and both are asking more than what a brand new Multi-scale version costs. Others have made the point about only playing partial cords to avoid the muddyness. For that reason I'm going to settle for a new MS version. Cheers.

    This would be dope as fuck as an addition on an acoustic track. It's got such a great sound to it and gets a lot less muddy when you crank the bass knob down

    I have 2 of these, a 2014 (First year of production) and a 2020 (Last year of production) Put Tosin Abasi pickups in one of them for use as my primary baritone and the other is stock as my Bass VI, I can't see me ever letting either go.

    • @danielleinad6019
      @danielleinad6019 Год назад

      I've got two of them as well. I bought them on the second hand market, because I won't become friends with the new multiscale version. To my eyes it looks awkward, while the original SRC6 looks and feels like a timeless classic.

    These aren't meant to be played like a regular guitar which is why it sounds like crap here... It's ability to match your guitar's tuning one octave down allows you to create bass lines from songs created on your guitar without changing your playing to bass mode... 💥

    I cant find any of these used anywhere. Man, this is one instrument that I’d give anything for lol I’ve been looking for literally years. The only one I did find was super beat up and the guy wanted like 1,200 for it and it said it had “normal wear”. In reality it looked like he gave a 3 year old a chisel and let him go to town on the body. I’m hoping one shows up in my local music store at some point.

      @udbert2245 2 года назад

      The body finish is darker than the wood beneath it, but it's also very thin, so that you will notice every little thing like pick scratches immediately. Maybe that's why the one you looked at seemed to have been ravished by cats. Don't be fooled by looks. Try it, use thick strings (100 or 105 for low E or in my case drop-D), don't dial in as many highs as the guy in this video and use a bass amp. Looks will not be important anymore then.

    Dude - lose the reverb, you're not playing surf tunes. Delay, chorus, flanger - much more appropriate for that tone.
