[Hi My Name Is Mark]

go on itunes if you have it and look up Scapegoat...they're not too far away from where i live, but their bass player is really good and plays a 6 string i believe. idk if you'll find any tabs or illegal downloads of them though.

Tommy the cat for the six string. IMO it is easier to play on a 6.

Six string basses are lame. Just buy a guitar.

Penises are a gimmick, androgyny ftw. :p

Anyway, the first thing I want to do when I get a sixer is to try and work out some King Crimson stick parts on bass. Might be kind of hard in some spots, though. :(

Also, I don't know where you could find it unless the search function is actually functional again, but try and find one of Havic's six string tapping lessons, there should be a thread or two in the main bass forum here.

Better yet, buy a Stick.

That's a pretty simple one, in my opinion, but some people say its a challenge.

Could be the numerous eighth note runs at 280bpm. That's not exactly the slowest tempo in the world.

Not only that...its Giant Steps. Not exactly the easiest chord changes in the world at 280

Yea but that doesn't matter if your just learning a solo note for note.

Jazz music is fantastic for 6 string though because you kind of free to use whatever strings you want, you need to get to know the fretboard first though.
