About 5 String Bass Guitars
5 string bass guitars open up a whole new level of musicality to the already important world of the bass - the anchor that holds your music together. By adding an extra lower, thicker string tuned all the way down to B, they give you that extended range to add bigger low end to your lines which, ordinarily, would go no lower than that low E note.
There isn't much on a bass that feels quite as good as hitting that big Low B note when the groove demands it! The addition of the extra low 'B' string is useful for contemporary heavy styles as well as Prog, Jazz and Fusion genres.
Most major bass manufacturers produce their own range of bass guitars with 5 strings. Throughout our stores we keep 5 string bass guitars by Music Man, Fender, Lakland and Ibanez, whose SR series is a good starting point for lots of ambitious bassists.
Why Should I Choose a 5 String Bass Guitar?
- Extended range gives you more musical space
- 5 string bass guitars are equally good for fingerstyle playing, slapping, or picking
- Perfect for low-end-heavy music
- Practically essential in some genres of music
