[quote="Replica"]Basses with more than 4 strings aren't that crazy. My current bassist mainly relies on a 6er. And i've played with people who have 9 string basses. Not as rediculous as you may think.[/quote]
Must get a picture of that bass with 9 strings. If you can find one, please post.

some of those stings get pretty skinny. Do they sound at all like guitar strings, they're about the size.

probably. i've always imagined that a guitar E string was like the high E string on a bass, cuz its the thickest on the guitar.
but then again, i might be full of shit.

I wish I could afford a 6 string. But alas, I'm poor.
Jun's...Ok, I guess. Not the greatest, But I must admit a lot of his stuff on Good dreams is pretty good.
The best bassist I've heard?
Toshiya from Dir En Grey(Mediocre band, I know...)
Not that I like metal that much...But his bassline in the song, "Cage" Is fucking awesome, it's all over the place.

Why anyone would want a 6 string bass is beyond me. Most bass players I know want to take a wire cutter too the damn things.
