Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at sevenstring):
So, 4 or 5 string as you can also fret your strings!
If you mean you want the bass an octave lower than the 8th string....
Not talking about the strings) Most just play unison between the 8th string and the bass.

Hi Guys,

Has anyone seen or play one of these? I've always wanted a 6 string...

I think that the string spacing at John's custom....
That's easy : Make the neck smaller (not thinner) and the string spacing will shrink as well.
Afaik the myung is a custom.
string on the sr5 neck? The one i had barely accommodated 5.

I'll try to tell you what little I've actually learned about bass strings as they relate to Lakland 5 string basses and, specifically, my 55-01. I may even bitch a bit about the manufacturers.
First off, finding strings that are known to fit 35" scale...

Tension seemed on the low end of medium, unimpressive on this bass....
Elixirs:
These were on the bass when" coating is great; nice & slick with subdued string noise.
Splits and an Aguilar OBP-3
Impressions of what I've had on so far .

Has anyone ever (like I’m finding myself contemplating doing) given up with 5 string basses completely and returned solely to 4 strings?
Many years ago my bass collection was mainly full of 5 strings and I wouldn’t even look at a new bass unless it had...

I owned a few, but they saw virtually no playing with the 5, never a problem with the 4, I always felt I was under playing or over playing the B string to make sure I was....
I wouldn't even look at a 4 string bass a few years back.

If you want to use 120 gauge string....
If you buy a 5 string it will probably come tuned to B-E-A-D-G which tunings.
I've tried to sellBuy a 5 string.
Ever getting a 5 string bass instead of a 4-string and having it down-tuned.

Basically I used to play a 5 string bass until I realised how hard it is to get the b-string to be loud and clear. Since then I've swapped to a 4 string p-bass and was wondering what I should go for if I want a rumbly yet punchy bass cab? The head I'm...

If you look at the frequency response.
Who has built several of bass cabs?
