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.
