Members jackcheez Posted August 17, 2007 Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 Jaco didn't play hard rock. If he did, he might have had use for a 5-string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitargod0dmw Posted August 17, 2007 Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 Jaco didn't play hard rock. If he did, he might have had use for a 5-string. John Pattitucci doesn't play hard rock...he gets plenty of use from his 6er. Nathan East does pretty well on his 5er as well...without playing hard rock.And those are just two guys that happen to play their own signature basses...

Members Mytola Posted August 17, 2007 Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 I myself, see no use to go any lower than a low D, which I get with my hipshot Xtender tuner on my 4-stringer. I do, however see the point with more strings in the high end. I might get a 5-string soon, but that will be tuned EADGC with a Xtender on the low E.

Members toolbar Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 Ahhhhh crap... i just listened to a Lug MP3.... I can feel my IQ dropping by the minute, is there any way to make it stop?.....I listened to Lug's mp3. Then listened to some others he posted. I think the playing is rather good. Probably better than mine. It's Lug's style choice that causes my butt to chew on the vinyl I'm sitting in. I was glad when pounding stopped.

Members Super_Donut_Man Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 Surely 4 strings is enough? Are 5-string players just showing off, or is there really a point to it? I hardly use the damn thing, its pretty much just an expensive thumb rest. I will never purchase another 5 er. It is nice to be able to hit Eb down to B without retuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
