For me, the biggest benefit of the 5 over the 4 is playability when gigging. I find it easier to play across the guitar in the same hand position rather than having to play up and down the guitar to get the same range of notes. Only rarely do I play stuff needing to go below the E so the bottom end is not the real benefit for me. Since moving to my first 5 a few years ago I've never looked back. They look cooler than 4s too 😜

Down, down, up is my preference. Great tune to practise with, that GOF number. Some early Duran Duran is useful too, particularly Planet Earth and Hold Back The Rain. JT used to say that he used a pick for these tracks cos he found it difficult with fingers. Personally, I find it easier with fingers.

After owning a shed load of basses over the past 20 years I've recently come to Dingwall and they're great. Beautiful looking collection you've got there!
