Switching to a 5-String Electric Bass Guitar?

Is the extra string the right choice for you? 🤔

THE GOOD

  1. Extended range (Extra notes!)
  2. Overall tuning of the bass doesn't change
  3. New tuning possibilities that you didn't have with a 4-string
  4. Low-B string can be used as an anchor or thumbrest
  5. Strings aren't spaced as far apart
  6. Prepares you for future opportunities (playing music that requires the low-B string)

...AND THE NOT-SO-GOOD

  1. Unwanted string noise
  2. It's weighs more
  3. Extra string adds some maintenance
  4. Will take some extra time to get used to it
