Is this the same as a 12 string bass or "bajo sexto"
1630891
No. This is like a regular six string guitar EBGDAE tuning, with the top three strings double tuned to the same note, and the bottom three strings tuned an octave apart.
1630892
Essentially yes. A bajo sexto is basically a standard 12 string guitar tuned an octave lower and tuned to E-A-D-G-C-F. By the way this is a fine and inexpensive 12 string as well.

Same concept, but an octave lower. The larger of the low E strings on twelve string generally is .047 or so, the same as a six string. The smaller is .027 and is tuned an octave higher. On a baso sexto, the larger low E is around .092, and the smaller is .047, so the smaller string is the same pitch as a normal six string, and the larger is an octave lower. Even if you filed the nut for the larger strings I don't know if the body would handle the additional stress for long. It's a well build, sturdy guitar with great sound for the money but it isn't designed to be a bass.

there are 2 different kinds....the bass pickup fit perfectly and sound incredible. I've used it at some big venues in front of thousands of people and it worked flawlessly.

Hello! I got Valencia CL-160 couple of months ago. Honestly, I'd rather pay two times more and get a cheaper version of Cordoba or Yamaha. (I have Yamaha 3/4 and it sounds brilliant).The guitar is rough and sound like a piece of wood. Strings are too high and you can't adjust them because there is no key hole. Electronic part is very cheap - the sound is awful. As usual: you're getting what you payed. Sorry for such a negative comment!

Looks exactly like the one I have. Don't remember the brand because it is a little all black bug. I use it on by Ibanez BTB 5 String, where it stays clamped on.Pretty small, almost invisible, works well tuning the upper four strings and a little bit lazy with the deep B. Gonna buy another for the other instruments I use.

I would have to say no. It just fits my electric. I would check into one just for a 12 string.Sorry

Doubtful as it is a guitar case, not a bass case. There is an M100 bass case that should fit a bass. As you probably know, bass necks are longer than guitar necks.

No, and even if you could, it would be a snug fit. Don't settle for anything less than a case specifically designed to accommodate a 5-string because...I'm not a physicist, but I learned recently that each guitar string, with standard tuning, is under 16 pounds of tension. Now, multiply that by six! I'd imagine that bass string tension is equal, if not greater, to that. Why put your bass under any more stress? If you're nice to your bass, it will be nice (and low) to you.

This is in fact a 5 string. Amazon has the incorrect photo in their catalog. Thanks! ~The Music Farm 330-546-7076

About the only things on this that are actually close to being a jazz bass are the jazz bass pickup and the control plate. The plate is close to a jazz bass control plate if no the same piece. It is a P J combination as far as pickups go. It is a Jaguar bass that is modified. It does have what is sometimes called active electronics and it does work well plugging straight into the board for recording. I once owned this bass and it is a great studio bass and a great bass for gigging. This has a lot of tone and is real versatile too. Some minor set up is going to be needed and that is usual for all instruments. If you are looking for a great bass for the cash, this is your bass. IT IS a Jaguar bass. It is a Fender product and it is good gear. This bass is one of my first choices for a bass on a budget. You cant go wrong with a Fender product even if it is a Squier.

I do not play, I got this as a gift for my nephew and I did buy him new strings, but I am not certain what kind they were, I will contact him and find out. It sounds great.

Yes! it works perfectly with a 12 string as well. It still detects the pitches for the 3rd thru 6th strings even though they are an octave apart.I highly recommend it.

We are very sorry for the mixup. This is the Washburn Taurus T24 Neck-Thru Electric Bass which is the four string the picture shows, not five strings.

6 string electric... Bass amps tend to have a b- model number like b15. Acoustic makes a decent cheap b series bass or g series electric amp. I would look at something besides the star caster for a guitar amp too... It is pretty crappy. Line 6 and Laney make a little bit nicer amp for not much more.FYI bass guitars can fry your guitar amp because of the low frequency. Bass amps don't have the crunch or clean sound of a guitar amp but can work for both.

Mike, Not sure. It fits my Duo Jet Guitar like a glove. The bass may be longer. I'd give Sweetwater a call. They are pretty good with answering questions like that.

Yeah, but I wouldn't recommend this pile of crap. I'd rather you get a good beginner bass, like an ESP B-15 5-string... This one sucks ass.
