Hello everyone! Been a while since I last showed up here. (Not that you should remember me...)

 

This Christmas I got the 5 string bass I've been wanting for years and for the past days I have prepared for playing with it (can't play atm as I need someone to adjust the truss rod and intonate).

 

With preparing I mean download interesting 5 string CDLCs and I ran out of ideas quickly after downloading TheBestAlex's Scale The Summit songs.

 

What are your favourite 5 string bass songs?

 

EDIT: I failed with the tags apparently. 

I've made a decent number of 5-string bass customs across different genres. If you like Scale the Summit, you'll probably like Haken - Falling Back to Earth (it's tough as hell, though), and I think several other Haken songs on here are 5-string. Other five-string songs I've made are customs by Streetlight Manifesto, Blotted Science (drop A), Year200X (A std), and Between the Buried and Me (G# standard).

 

Some Dream Theater is 5-string, some is 6-string, some people have adapted to 4-string. Pretty much all Epica is in B standard.

 

This link will hopefully give some other ideas. No guarantee that everything there's for five string.

I don't really know how I could miss Haken like that. Thank you very much Albatross, you have pretty similar music taste as me.

Many In Flames CDLC i've made are coming with a 5 strings bass part but the tuning might throw some people off as it's not standard.

 

Link to my workshop below and all 5 strings bass part are clearly indicated in the list ;)

Thank you Firekorn. Will definitely download some In Flames.
