5 & 6-String Bass Guitars
5 & 6-string Bass Guitars were created to give Bass Players more range. This basically means that by adding 1 or 2 extra strings to a standard 4 string Bass Guitar, you can play notes that are higher or lower!
Bass guitarists found themselves being replaced by electronic synths in the early 80’s and to fight back and save their art, they expanded widely during this time.
With more range comes more possibilities! Bass Guitarists that visit us regularly at Mannys Music talk to us about playing melodies, solos and more! With our large range of 5 and 6 string models, we have one that will fit you perfectly, so why not come in or thumb your way through our range below.
