A 5-string has an additional, lower string which is a low B. I would suggest she start on a 4-string as it will be much easier for a beginner.
Check www.musiciansfriend.com - www.samash.com - but better still, check out a local music store first...they'll appreciate the business and will be there to help with advice, lessons and such.
Good luck!

4 string: generally used 4 string bass. 5 string: has an extra low B string. novices shouldn't probable initiate out on one through fact it is going to merely get in the way till you're experienced sufficient to be conscious of while its use is nice. possibly you may in case you will play a sort that demands heavy down-tuning (generally forms of steel) yet I nonetheless does not advise it.

a 5 string adds one string tuned a fourth lower than the lowest string of a 4 string.
just start with a 4 string.
