send me a 30-second video of your playing, and I’ll reply with a practice plan you can follow — no more guessing!
???? Should you play a 4-string, 5-string, or 6-string bass? In this video, I share why—after 20+ years of performing, recording, and teaching—I believe the 5-string bass is the best all-around choice for serious bass players.
After every show or masterclass, I always get the same question:
“Why do you play a 5-string (or sometimes 6-string) bass?”
Today, I’m answering that.
We’ll talk about:
The real benefits of the 5-string over the 4-string
Why I almost never go back to a standard 4-string bass
How extended range changed my technique, tone, and creativity
Whether YOU should consider making the switch
Whether you're a beginner curious about different bass types, or an experienced player stuck in the 4-string mindset, this video will give you some fresh perspective.
chapters:
0:00 intro
0:30 5 string bass
