What are the pitches for the bass guitar after the first five frets?

If you know the notes of the first five frets, then you can actually use that to figure out what note you are on anywhere on the fretboard. For example, your open tone are E, A, D, and G. The fifth fret of the E string is A, or the open tone of the following string. The same can be said for the fifth fret A string(D) and open D, and for the G string as well. This trend continues all the way up the fretboard. If you have the first fret A string memorized then remember that that its enharmonic equivilant is the 6th fret E string(A#/Bb). You can use this system to always remind yourself when on onscure frets which pitch you are on.

What is the difference between four and five string bass guitars?

Bass Guitars A four string bass has an open string arrangement consisting of E, A , D , and G (from thickest to thinnest). This is the standard bass arrangement. The five string bass also has the E, A, D, and G arrangement, but adds an extra low B string above the E. This allows for a broader reach in note pitch since you are allowed for extra notes with the B string. For instance, on a standard four string bass you would have to tune down the E string two frets to get the dropped D pitch. But with a five string bass, there is no need to tune your E string since the D can be played on the third fret of the newly added fifth string (the B string). This lower B is especially popular with the modern hard rock/thrash metal crowd, and some of the screamo bands. For many players, there is a struggle with the low-b being "sloppy", which can largely be corrected by using a longer scale neck (35" at a minimum) and/or a different brand or gauge of strings Standard four string bass: E A D G Five string bass: B E A D G Six string bass: B E A D G C NB: you can also, if you wish, instead of using the extra string for a low B, you can retune the first four strings into standard tuning, I.e, E-A-D-G, and have the highest string as a high C. This arrangement is used quite frequently by bassists who prefer tighter strings, and an extra range up high, as well as getting a deeper, more bass-y sound from the thicker E string.


In 5 string bass guitar the low b string is same as an open e?

No it's not. It is 5 steps (frets) lower than the usual low E. Some 5 strings have a high B added. That would be tuned 5 steps above open G. A 5 string isn't the only way to get a low B. I just restringed my bass to BEAD. Still 4 strings so the neck is narrow, but I gave up the G string for the low B.
