Actually no, the 5 string bass was not a musical/arrangement choice (that kind of thinking was NOT evident at that stage of my experience). It was the Bass player feeling that 5 strings are better than 4 and how could a band NOT sound better with even more low end. LOL. They were ALL tuned down to low A!

We were all young, the band was amateur, I was amateur and the product was amateur. Live and learn.
