Looks like an "old" subject, but I found it very interesting. I just rec'd my Deering MB6 after a 7 week wait (They delivered as promised) and I love the sound.. It obviously plays different than my RB3 Wreath Gibson, but I like the results better - - - I can't wait to get the next Jam to see what kind of reactions I get. It may not generate the same sound results as a 5 string, but it definitely produces a really nice sound with results that you can't get from a 5 string..
