ambient Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I play a 7. I love the fact that having a low B makes my regular gigs easier, I find sight-reading easier when I don't have move about the neck, just play pretty much in one position, and concentrate on my charts. I also play solo bass, the high F is used extensively with this, it's why I switched from a 6 to a 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_Bass Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Why do you even need more than one string and 12 frets? All the notes you need are there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 [quote name='OliverBlackman' timestamp='1493316809' post='3287470'] Jaco only needed 4 strings...... [/quote] Apart from when he used his 5 string! OK, he didn't record or gig with it a lot, but if Jaco can dabble with a 5, we can put that line to bed.
