Title: Wanted: Medium scale 6 string bass
Post by: fivestringdan on September 25, 2026, 10:38:17 AM
I'm not known for having a ton of patience so while my bass is being built I'm looking for a six string medium scale to hole me over. I could go for a five string as well.

Let me know what you have. Fretted or fretless.

Thank you!!!

Did Alembic ever make a medium scale 6 string bass?

Ok thanks, very nice! I wonder what the string spacing is on that one? Not sure about medium scale for 6-string basses though. Not the best scale length for the low B I think.

There is also this one with a dragon inlay.

I'm not sure from the thread if it ever was sold, worth checking.

I have seen a couple with the wider spacing in 32 inch scale. Kinda shot in the dark finding one, I know. I have no idea when my order will be completed so figured I would look around and see if I can find one in the interim.
