Q: I am currently playing on a 4 string bass for 5 months and my dad said in a year he will either buy me a 4 string gibson or a 6 string bass. Which should i play? Is it hard to switch?

Well for guitar players anyway, if a guitar player wants to move onto bass then why doesn't he choose a 6 string, it has exactly the same tuning as a 6 string guitar so all of the old chords/scale shapes still apply to it? its like playing a guitar through
