Can anyone recommend book(s) for 5 string?
 
Greetings,

I am in a project where I will be using a 5 string. I've used 5 string in the past just utilizing octave to make it sound 'heavy' etc. I plan on doing more of that but I was wondering if anyone can recommend any decent books in regards to 5 string so I can pick up good 5 habits. Thanks!

I do not know of any but have been playing a 5 string since 1991.
I learned by playing along to tunes by bassist Jimmy Johnson.
Start with the basics, play all your scales starting on the low B open string.
Work your way up to the 5th fret. That should get you going.
My biggest problem was confusing the open E with the open B at first.
