B to C on a five string?????

[Sandman1278]

i found this bass on ebay and i was kinda confused when i saw this description - mind u this is a 5 string bass

" This bass also includes a soft case as well as a low B string, a high C string, and a bonus high octave G string (for those who like to mimic the sound of a sitar)"

how does a 5 string have from low B - C and an octave G string? im confused and woulndt an octave G string make one string double coursed??

It also has a 'fret'-board(no frets- hmmm...). W/regard to the strings, perhaps it comes w/extra strings. But the sitar reference... Ask the seller.

He said it was fretless. I would think the strings he mentions are spares so you can configure it with either a low B or a high C or a octave high double G.

Geez!

It can be strung BEADG, EADGC, or EADGg

maybe when he says it "comes" with those strings it really "comes with those strings" meaning it could be strung any way but hes selling it with those strings off the bass and you can just change them as you please.just a thought

I think it means it comes with a B, a C and a high G (F is more probable) for tuning BEADG, EADGC, ADGCF(G)

This bass has 24 fret positions.

I believe that "positions" is the operative term here...

It is fretless and has five strings.

Pretty self-explainatory...

This bass also includes a soft case as well as a low B string, a high C string, and a bonus high octave G string

..."also includes"... not meaning that it's strung with them...

Granted this guy is a bit short on "bass-smart" terminology, but if you're that confused; "ask the seller a question".
