Hi. I am new to this forum. I’m glad I found it because talk bass are kind of buttholes. Anyway, I have a question maybe someone can answer…
i would like to know if anyone has put the five string strings on the four string bass, in other words, BEAD rather than EADG. I want to know if there are any accommodations that would have to be made, such as:
will the bridge hold the string or will it have to be modified? I have a Rickenbacker bass by the way.
What about the truss rod, will the neck bend a little if I put a B string on there? Will I have to make an adjustment to the truss rod?
that’s pretty much what I want to know, but maybe you can elaborate on your experience with it, that’s always helpful or at least interesting.
Thanks
