6+ string Bass Guitars

Push beyond traditional bass boundaries with 6+ String Bass Guitars, designed for players who demand maximum range, advanced musical expression, and technical flexibility. Typically tuned to B–E–A–D–G–C, 6-string bass guitars extend both the low and high register, making them ideal for solo bass work, complex arrangements, jazz fusion, progressive music, modern worship, studio recording, and experimental styles.

This category includes electric 6-string bass guitars, available with active or passive electronics, fretted and fretless options, and a variety of scale lengths, neck profiles, and pickup configurations. Designed for articulate response across the entire frequency range, 6-string basses deliver deep low-end power, clear mids, and singing high-register tones.

6+ string bass guitars are widely used by advanced and professional bassists, composers, and session players who require chordal playing, melodic solo lines, tapping techniques, and extended harmonic control. The added high C string allows for guitar-like phrasing and upper-register melodies, while the low B maintains strong foundational bass presence.

Modern 6+ string bass guitars often feature ergonomic body designs, multi-piece necks, extended scale lengths, advanced onboard EQ systems, and high-output pickups, ensuring clarity, balance, and playability despite the increased string count. These instruments are built to perform reliably in studio environments, live stages, and demanding touring conditions.

Acoustic-electric and specialty extended-range bass models are also available for players seeking unique tonal character or unplugged versatility. Proper string spacing and neck construction help maintain comfort for complex techniques while supporting accurate intonation across all six strings.

Complete your setup with extended-range bass strings, high-headroom bass amplifiers, straps, tuners, cables, gig bags, hard cases, and maintenance accessories, ensuring your instrument performs at its best in any musical setting.

For bassists seeking ultimate tonal range, expressive freedom, and modern performance capability, 6-string bass guitars represent the pinnacle of extended-range bass design.
