I should have said, I AM in the search for another 6 is the .625" spacing in between or is that center to center? thanks lmiwa Advanced Member Username: lmiwa Post Number: 272 Registered: 2-2008 Posted on Sunday, November 22, 2009 - 5:39 pm:    I measured the .625" between the strings. The actual center to center spacing varies based on the string thickness. I think Mica has an explanation of that somewhere. If you're looking for a 6-string, my Walnut Rogue is available. You can see pictures at: http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/58622.html?1228507152 http://themiwas.smugmug.com/Music/Basses/Alembic-Rogue-6 I'm asking $2800. Send me an e-mail if you're interested.

You fret strings from above, and you strike them from aside. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 2356 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, November 23, 2009 - 1:36 am:    <<Ze dreaded double-post ...>> (Message edited by adriaan on November 23, 2009) ruddy Junior Username: ruddy Post Number: 11 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 - 9:02 am:    Thanks for the info guys. and thats a breathtaking Rogue!! most manufacturers talk about string spacing in reference to the bridge of the bass, mind due the spacing at the nut its important as well. I find 19mm spacing very comfortable, and 17mm difficult to slap specially on a 6 string. But I think my old Epic 6 was very wide and comfy. I just want to make sure.. Thanks again I wish I could come up with $2800.00 ! interested in trades?
