5 and 6-String Bass Guitars

Expand your musical horizons with our range of 5 and 6-String Bass Guitars. These instruments provide extended range and versatility, making them a popular choice for players across genres, from jazz and rock to metal and beyond.

5-string bass guitars add a lower B string to the standard 4-string bass layout, extending the instrument’s lower range for deeper, heavier grooves. This makes them particularly useful in genres like metal, where lower tunings are common, but they’re also used in jazz, funk, pop, and other styles for added tonal possibilities.

6-string basses add yet another string, typically a high C, further broadening the instrument’s range and making it a versatile tool for soloing, chordal work, and complex bass lines.

Our collection includes 5 and 6-string basses in a variety of body styles and finishes. You’ll find instruments made from a range of tonewoods, each contributing its own characteristic sound, from the warm sustain of mahogany to the balanced resonance of alder or the bright, punchy sound of ash.

These extended-range basses often come with active electronics, allowing you to shape your tone with precision, and many models feature high-quality hardware for reliable performance and tuning stability.

Embrace the low-end possibilities and step outside the traditional boundaries with our selection of 5+ String Bass Guitars. Whether you’re a seasoned player seeking new sonic frontiers or a beginner looking to start with more range, these instruments offer a rich, deep sound and versatile performance.
