Here's a hint: on a 5 stringed bass, it is possible to play a 2 octave scale (any of the 7 modes) WITHOUT shifting once - start on your index finger. You'll have to do some major third stretches (span of five frets), but is definitely possible. All 12 keys, all 7 modes.
16. Friday at 12:43 AM. New EBMM Short Scale Stingrays. Djadja. Wednesday at 9:39 PM. Basses [BG] 30. Yesterday at 7:25 PM. So i've recently become quite inspired by a guy named Janek Gwizdala who does some awesome stuff with 5 strings strung EADGC.
There are at least three different methods. 1 The box method - a standard fingering for the major scale starting with the middle finger (1 = middle 2 = pinky, 2 is index one string up etc.) plus adaptions for minor scales, modes, chromatic scale etc.; start on different intervals. 3.
For roundwound: DR Sunbeams (nickel-plated steel on a round core) "short scale" 45-125. NOTE: DR calls them "short scale", but their actual winding length (ball end to taper) is 33.75", which should be long enough to fit on a 32"-scale bass. For flatwound: Dunlop Flats, which are available in "medium scale" (34" from ball end to silk) and come ...
Rosemead, Ca. #2. Aug 27, 2018. #2. Pete Skjold builds a lot of 33” scale instruments that have very solid B strings. I have 34” from him, but when we discussed my build he offered to do it in 33” saying that Damian Erskine goes with 33” scale, and having built many, he was loving the results. You can check out Damian’s website, and ...
E string: on some medium scales, the tuner may be far enough away from the nut that a regular long scale 36 1/2 to 37 1/2 speaking length may fit. This leaves the B string: sometimes, like I do, you have to order a B string separately. I like the feel of the D'Addario balanced tension sets, but they don't come in a 5-string.
Mel Bay has a booklet/folder: "MelBay's Five-String Bass Chord Chart" by Mike Holland. On the back page there's a section marking out each string by fret, the name of the note for the fret, where the note lays in the bass clef. The product number is MB99578. I have another such booklet for four string bass "Bass Guitar Chords" by Ron ...
If you don't mind buying used, a Gibson EB5 would be my suggestion. Light (about 8lbs on average), versatile tone palette due to coil-splitting available on both humbuckers.
72,241. Austin, TX. May 8, 2022. #9. Not being able to wrap non tapered strings around posts is a TalkBass construct. It exists as a problem only within this forum. If you have 30” scale strings and your bass has 28” scale you can cut them 2” shorter. Or you can use the 34” set in your drawer and don’t tell anyone.
