Not necessarily, whether or not a person should be playing a 5 string bass is totally subjective. For some people, beginner or not, that extra string can be too much. For others an extra string isn't going to be much more difficult than a 4 string bass. What it really comes down to is personal preference, if a beginner bass player wants to play a 5 stringer than why not?
