Crazy idea I had to change my Engelhardt bass to a 5 string bass.
It has a wide fingerboard/neck.
If I plug and redrill the pegbox I may be able to fit a fifth tuner in there. Carve a new bridge and string it with gut strings to keep the tension down. New tailpiece and it just might work. Whether or not it's worth it, well..
Here's what it sounds like as a 4 string: www.myspace.com/mcnamaraneeley
City of Chicago, Gonna Tell God, and Here's to You have me playing bass. These were recorded nearly three years ago, I met the group at the studio (been playing with them ever since).
