A six-string bass opens up a world of chordal playing, tapping, and extended-range soloing, and the GSR206 is one of the most accessible ways to get there. The poplar body keeps things lightweight, which matters when you're dealing with six tuners and a wider neck. Despite the added strings, the GSR6 maple neck is shaped to keep your fretting hand comfortable through long practice sessions.

Dynamix humbucking pickups with Phat II EQ deliver a clear, defined tone across all six strings -- from the low B growl to the high C shimmer. The jatoba fretboard and chrome hardware give the black finish a clean, professional look. If you're into progressive rock, jazz fusion, or solo bass performance, this is a genuinely fun instrument to explore at a price that makes the experiment worthwhile.
