[quote name='BeLow' post='97150' date='Dec 1 2007, 11:27 AM']Personally the only disadvantages I find with the 5 is that they take a little while to adjust to after a 4, weigh a little more, can be a little harder to slap, and you occasionally come across some anti 5 string prejudice (yawn).[/quote]
I'll stick with it. I don't expect the 'right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing' effect to last forever, but I do like to spank my 4 string hard and don't know if I'll ever be able to do that with all those strings so close together! And yes, my 4 string is so light, like a violin.
anti 5 string prejudice? Yawn indeed.
