Get that kid away from that thing!!! What are you trying to teach that poor child? That "world influenced" funk-rock from berkeley is okay? Because it isn't. And that my friends is opinion number one for this post. Unless the parent is telling their little one that the ONLY reason a five string bass was made by god in the first place was for Mary J. Blige songs (opinion 2!), and he should stay away from this thick necked beast of an instrument like it was a non-ironic Big Johnson shirt. unless this pasty little kid wants to end up wearing backwards kangol caps, tank tops, and listening exclusively to King Crimson and Dream Theater, maybe Rush, he needs to step away from the 5 string bass.ALSO, just because you can play a bass solo DOES NOT mean that you should.
Six string is completely out of the question.
This post was worth it just for the title and the picture alone.
