[All_¥our_Bass]

I do straight fifths on my sixer (no minor third at the top) with a low F.
(low-high FCGDAE)

This is perfect for me, because...

A.) I like to use large intervals
B.) I started on bass, so I got used to using those really low notes
C.) I like meshuggah
D.) I LOVE the extra range
E.) I'm wierd

It's great for chords, both playing and sound wise. I like the unusual chord inversions it gives access to. 7th and add9 chords are a breeze. For all you people who like to play all the eastern scales 'n' stuff, it makes parallel fifths harmony excessively easy.

All that good stuff being said, it hard/impossible to play 'normal' stuff on, for the most part. 4NPS scale patterns are a bit harder to finger in the lower registers and require extra stretching. Also finding a good set of strings at your local shop can be a pain in the ass (not to mention expensive), I had to buy all of mine as singles.
