My next bass will be a 3 string!!!!
I have a 5 String Electric Bass that I purchased from Gutar center when I was in Fifth Grade. I tune mine down a half step to Eb Standard with a Low Bb because the higher notes are much easier on my singing voice. The 5 String Bass eliminates the need to use an extension when playing lower notes especaily for Upright Bassists.
G strings always look better on the floor IMHO sounds like the best option to me...
hahahaha. that is true
I didn't know you could do that. Thank you for that great tip!! 👍🤘♥️👌
I learned about 5 string sets for my 4 strings a few years ago and never went back. 125 -65 or 120-65 sets.
my ltd is an extended range bass so it keeps the low end super nice compared to my Thunderbird though, so thats also something to consider. Awesome video thanks for sharing!
I wish manufacturers would make BEAD basses
They do. Schecter has it's EX versions and many 35" basses are sold with BEAD tuning and strings. Music Man Stingrays are 34" and i read that they are good for BEAD conversions. And a good setup after buying is a must for me and can be done with your set of strings and the tuning you prefer.
*You're in good company bro... Ross Valory of **_Journey_** has been using 4-string basses in low B/E/A/D tuning for decades...*
This guy deserves more subs
Ive always noticed that heavy rock players will refer to their basses as a guitar. Where a jazz or R and B player call it a bass. Lots of rock bass players were guitar players and wind up on bass by default and play with a pic where R and B or jazz players use their fingers or thumb.
Yeah I’ve noticed that too. I just watched an interview with John Paul Jones and he said he couldn’t believe people paid him to play guitar. He was the bass player lol
Love my 5 string lol. I literally did the 4 string with BEAD but I have a 5 string with BEADG and then another with ADF#CF. Love it so much. Some song I feel like I absolutely have to use my 4 string with though. So love them both in the end.
Thank you soooo much, i just bought an awesome transparent 4 string but I play metal, so I need that low sound, I didn't know that this was an opinion:)
throwing away a perfectly good g-string? That's not like you, I figured you would make a g-string g-string
Pretty solid info 👍🏻
This could be a slightly limited option 4 but admittedly, I usually play in Drop D and only sometimes need Low B. I do like 4 string basses however, I don't think that I would buy one. Rather, I prefer a 5 string, stringing up my 5 string bass with a High C--dumping the dedicated Low B--and then using a HipShot Bass Extender with an optional Double Stop Lever to get an open Low E, Low D, and a Low B all on my E string. I also up my E string to a 110 gauge to up the tension a bit on that string; especially for when I am in either in Low D or Low B.
Thank you I am going to do the same but with guitar. Buy 7 pack just use lower 6.
gonna do this instead of buying a 5string thanks for the video. that G string always felt useless to me
121212 at the 12th fret would be sick
What kind of bass is that? At first I thought it was an LTD bass and it reminded me of the ESP LTD F-1004 or maybe the ESP LTD F-204 but it's different from them and the only other brand that comes to my mind that does crazy shaped basses and guitar is Bc Rich but for what I know none of their basses looks like that.
It's a custom SP. Scott Pivarnick makes them to order in North Carolina. He's made guitars for Suffocation, Possessed and Exhorder. You should check him out. His guitars are one of a kind
I would say just buy a five string if you would play all round music or just metal
The key advantage of the wider string spacing.
I used to do that type of thing on my first guitar until I bought a 7 string,
I bought a 5 string bass but hated it
@@tonyblakk2813 Very understandable, most 5 strings basses have way to thick of a neck, Carcass uses a 4 string bass for a reason, for example, because it's way easier to play while doing vocals at the same time.
I have a seven string tuned to B, but I prefer a six with bigger strings tuned to B. Another cool trick for seven string guitars is to tune them BEADF#BE.
Its not really the right way to do Doom. lol I know why I thought that was funny it made me laugh.
