I have played primarily a 6-string since about 1995 and never used learning material designed for a 5- or 6-string bass.

Sep 12, 2010. #5. How much you got to spend? In a "traditional" bass, Sadowsky NYC are generally a first call in a light 5-string. 8.5lbs is common, and lighter can be found. Not cheap though - figure $4K. In a non-traditional instrument, a Rob Allen 5-string will be 7.5lbs or less depending on the model.
For 24 fret bass, I will check the fret level from the fret on top of first neck screw to 24th fret first. If the fret are flat evenly, I set the neck relief .010-.012 (4 string bass ) or .010-.015 (5 string bass ) on 8th fret which press on 1st fret and the fret on the top of first neck join screw. If found high fret (not in serious case) on ...
There was always something feeling a bit "odd" on this bass, and it mostly was the tension of the strings.

Unfortunately, no one makes a bass string set made specifically for dropped tunings, so you'll have to build one yourself. Most music stores sell E and B string SINGLES. You'll need to buy a 4 strings set, and an additional E or B string Single to get a properly matched set for Drop-Tunings. Below is a list of recommended gauges: "Drop-D" D ...
Being a guitarist now play 6 string bass I've experimented and have become to like it. I assume you mean DADGBE tuning. For me and most bass players the answer is no and I'll tell you why. Drop tuning and standard guitar tuning (EADGBE) have a problem that bass tuning (BEADGC or EADGCF) does not. And that is because the bass tuning is in ...

Dec 18, 2017. #5. Had a five string Grind. Very well made bass and that's a great price. If you need some excuses, I can think of some...it's heavy - I thought it was just my five string but I tried a 4 string at my local music store and it too was heavy. there's a thread here which compares the earlier versions of the Grind to the more recent ...

Depends on how often you travel up and down the bass register. If you do that a lot, a 5-string would serve you well, but if you don't move around too much and generally play in the same range most of the time, a 4-string would more than suffice. You already have one 5-string and two 4-strings, I would suggest keeping the 5-string and one of ...
