Q&A: If i play a 4 string bass, how hard will it be to play a 6 string bass?

Posted on January 2, 2011 by Eric

Question by skater boy: If i play a 4 string bass, how hard will it be to play a 6 string bass?
I am currently playing on a 4 string bass for 5 months and my dad said in a year he will either buy me a 4 string gibson or a 6 string bass. Which should i play? Is it hard to switch?

Best answer:

Answer by I wish I was pretty.
Well, I am no expert at guitar, but think.
Is it hard to play a 4 string bass right now? If it is, then practice some more. If it isn’t, move on and rock out!
;D
