The neck of a four string bass is narrower, the strings are wider, and the length of the strings is wider. A 5 string bass, on the other hand, has an extra string that allows a lower range to play notes in lower keys while also allowing for additional scales, chords, and arpeggios, as well as a wider neck and heavier instrument.


Four strings on the upright double bass are used to create the electric bass guitar. Fender invented the Precision Bass 4-string in 1951 as an alternative to upright bass players. Because the bass rarely plays chords and instead plays individual notes, the bass has fewer strings than a guitar, which typically plays chords. Four-string basses are the most common, and they are the most commonly used. Some bassists prefer to play on a larger scale, while others prefer to play on fewer strings. A 3-string instrument is generally viewed as a more stylistic choice than a practical instrument. Six-string guitars have proven to be very effective in jazz and solo bass.
