I've became a 5 string junkie! I played 4 string for years..started on string bass in 5th grade. After taking a hiatus from actively gigging, I got back into it in a combo with a drummer and a pianist. Bought a 5 string and found I was absolutely addicted to the extra 5 notes downward. I'm afraid it has changed my playing style, but when I ask, everyone is like, "nah, bass is supposed to be low unless you are like Stanley Clark". Still like my Guild B4-LE(black) and my P bass,but my Washburn Taurus T25(5 string) is the drug of first choice. Playing rock, contemporary Christian, alternative. Major bass bully!! |
