Wooks Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I really want to buy a fretless bass as it is my birthday soon. But I'm undecided whether to go for a 4 or 5 string. I've got a 4 and 5 string normal. I love the versatility that the 5 offers but I also love my 4 string! If you were in my shoes what would you go for and why? Any thoughts??

queenofthedepths Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I play 5-string fretless myself and I'd be in a right state without my low B! So you may as well get a 5; there's no reason not to, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbloke Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 If you already play a 5, then if you were to buy a 4 string fretless, I can pretty much guarantee that in a few months, you'll be playing your fretless and you'll look down and think 'sh*t I could really do with a low B for this bit'. Unfortunately, there's a lot less choice in terms of instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
