I want to learn the bass guitar which is better to have the 4 string or the 5 string?

Answer 1

Go with the 4 string, the 5th string is just superfluous. Plus the 4 string ones are more versatile and affordable.

Answer 2

Well, I'm still trying to figure out the reason for the 5th string! I learned to play on a 4 string bass, although , if you'll notice all the popular bass players are playing a 5 string!
5 string bass players , we need help over here!?!

Answer 3

Where do you get a 5 string bass?

A proper bass guitar has 4 strings.

If you learn on a 5 string, you like will have problems with a 4 string.
