A 5-string guitar typically refers to a bass guitar with an extra lower string (usually a low B), extending its range below the standard 4-string bass. This added string gives players access to deeper, heavier tones popular in modern genres like metal, jazz, and hip-hop. While 5-string guitars (as in regular 6-string guitars minus one string) are less common, the term most often relates to basses. The extra string provides more versatility for playing complex lines, heavier riffs, and broader chord voicings, making 5-string basses a go-to for musicians wanting both punch and extended range.
