    What does that mean?

    Would it matter where I put it? As long as I learn which note is which it will sound the same wont it? I've seen talk about 34" and 35" making a difference to the B strings, my encore is a lot longer than that from end to end?

    Nope, E nearest my face like a normal left handed bass then G D A. I'm used to it now but I've never seen another with strings like mine, I wish I'd just learnt the right way up now, I'm not even left handed at anything else!

    I've realised what I'm doing wrong here, I have a right handed bass that I play upside down so my strings are like normal people's strings other than the E string (the fattest one) that is at the top for me,which is odd I know but that's how I learnt it. So as I look at the strings top to bottom I have E G D A

    [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1448360861' post='2914671'] And this is an image of 5-string tab: [/quote] The lines are the fret numbers one to nine then? Sorry if that's dumb but its all new to me!

    I have found some tab with six lines but not five, I wonder why six string bass players use it? which way up do you look at it?, I'm left handed by the way.

    I am still using the ones that came with my Encore Jazz bass from Argos in 1992 they sound fine but I only gig once a month maybe less, I did not think people changed them unless they broke them?!

    Can you get 5 string TAB?

    Thanks folks I will see what my local shop has in stock to try, learning to read might take a bit more effort!

    Hi folks my first post! I have been reading threads for a while but only just signed in, I see quite a few people with 5 string basses and quite a few people mention reading music in those threads, I only ever use 4 string basses and cant read english very well never mind music! Should I be exploring either avenues? Thanks, Mike
