Spector NS Dimension MS 5 5-String Bass in Haunted Moss – £1649 New

5-String

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.

Bass Guitars

The bass guitar is the backbone of many musical styles, delivering the low-end power that holds everything together. Designed to play deep, resonant notes, it typically has four strings—though five- and six-string models are also popular—and comes in both fretted and fretless versions. Bass guitars can be electric or acoustic, with solid or hollow bodies, and are used across genres from rock and funk to jazz and reggae. In this category, you’ll find a wide selection of bass guitars to suit all levels, from beginner to pro, each built to provide great tone, feel, and reliability.
