5 string bass

I'm using 5 string bass for this whole CD. The one good thing I took away from the Ayelle experience, was Paul's 5 string bass. It really opened a whole new world to me as far as bass sounds go. I never realised how having that extra string could sound so good, so heavy and earth shuddering. Having an extra 4th to play around with adds a new flexibility in arrangements and let me tell you, being able to go down to even just the low Eb without down tuning is an arranger's dream.

My hearing cant distinguish notes lower than the bass E string. So I stick with a four string bass. ;-)
