Does anybody know the difference between a four-string bass and a five-string bass??
It seems that four strings are more popular than five, but then again, I could be wrong... Help! |

Five string basses have an extra string. It adds 5 more extra notes over the 4 strings in standard tuning. Well, really only 3 if you retune the E string on the 4 string bass to get the extra 2 notes from the 5 string. It plays lower notes than the 4 string. It's not really needed for most types of music. It's usually in metal.
