5-String Bass Guitar

Discover the history behind the bass

As the bass guitar moves through the 21st Century and the five string bass celebrates its 60th birthday there has never been a better time to make the step up to five string.
The five string bass actually makes playing easier , with many extra hand positions available plus the benefit of the extra low notes (on a bass tuned A-G) which is important as so much modern music is written with bass lines requiring notes below E or high notes for soloing and chords on a bass tuned E - C.
