Re: Bass advice - Ibanez SR505 vs Fender J
Been having the 4 vs 5 string discussion with bass players. I really think there isn't much need for the 5 string. It's a nice to have.
One thing they pointed out was that the "low notes" are not the biggest best reason for them. It's playing busy lines in 5th position.
I don't play "busy lines" or deep Jazz/Pop so I'll likely stick to 4 strings in the future. I do have a 5 though. But mostly I just rest my thumb on the 5th string.
