Let me tell you a story …
years ago I tried 5 string and I totally didn’t get it. I sold that aria magna 5
i bought a sire v7 5 and it just worked …
but my thoughts also changed to what actually worked
don’t buy a 5 string expecting to use those low notes, that opportunity will be vanishingly rare
use that low string only when you realise that you’d need to use open strings on a four string
example : teenaged dirtbag e a b a
using open strings it is a muting nightmare but playing accross from fret 5 of b string, it is not and you can easily shift up or down to suit the singer
