Short scale bass guitar turned into a 6 string guitar? - ANYONE?

(1/3) > >>

Hey guys, im just wondering..has anyone tried this before? Converting a short scale bass guitar into a standard 6 string guitar? I saw an Ibanez 6 string bass and really love the design/shape... and they dont have thatshape/design  in the guitar section.

So, im thinking of buying that bass and probably have it converted by a luthier somewhere..... IF.... that is possible.

Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

How short is it? yung pinaka short na nakita ko is 32" or 33" for bass and for the longest sa guitar would be 28.625", also the spacing between strings, men ang laki nun! hehehe

KennyKen:
LOL, kung 32-inch scale yan....kahit naka Drop-A tuning ka sobrang higpit pa rin yung string tension niyan  :-D  ....

Lower than drop-A is only suited for Porn-Grind type of Metal  :-P Unless yun ang tinutugtog mo  :wave:

Thanks for the input guys. Yung nakita kong bass na bago ng Ibanez na 6 strings actually the string spacings are almost identical na sa baritone guitar ko (PRS MM).

Ill check out the model and get more info when i visit that music store again. Thanks

That's Ibanez SRC6 with a short scale and tight-end bridge and tune to a regular 6 string guitar.
