Frequently Asked Questions

A 5-string bass guitar includes an extra low B string. That allows you to hit deeper notes without having to detune. This can be especially useful if you prefer R&B, funk, gospel, or metal. It also enables you to play more notes in a single position, making difficult passages slightly simpler on your hands.

First, the neck is slightly wider, and you have an extra string to keep quiet, but most bassists adjust faster than you may expect. If you have smaller hands, it might feel like a stretch at first, and you’ll need to be a bit more precise with your finger placement. You'll need to buy an amplifier that can handle the lower frequencies.

You don’t need one, but it helps. Most bass amps will handle a 5-string just fine, especially for practice. But if you want that low B to really come through clean and not sound muddy, musicians at Everest Music recommend an amp with a solid low-end response.

5-string guitars are commonly used in metal, jazz, gospel, R&B, funk, and other genres that require deep, punching bass notes.
