What is the difference between 5 and 6 string basses and the traditional 4 string bass.?
How are the strings tuned on all bass types? What are the benefits of the extra strings? What would you recommend for someone buying his first bass?
The amount of strings.Four-string basses vs. five-string basses.
The fifth string on a bass is a B string, a fourth below the traditional low E string. While most bass players will find the standard four-string basses quite adequate, a few bass "pioneers" want the additional range that is available in a five-string. If you have huge hands (a five-string bass fretboard is, as you might expect, a lot wider than a four-string) and expect to be playing a lot of bass solos, a five-string just might be what you're looking for. Plus, a five-string gives bass players that extra "oomph" when competing with synth bass parts. 6-string basses slap an extra, high-C string on above the G, giving you up to either G-Sharp (A-Flat) on a 20-fret bass, or C on the 24-fretter
