5-strings are used especially in classical music, although I do know a few jazz bassplayers that use one too, with a lower B-string or a higher C-string... But I've never seen a full size one, the biggest I've seen is 7/8... All I've heard is that full size is just not handy to take with you, and difficult to play if you're not a giant... And terribly expensive :p
i been trying to find 5 string uprights and i could not ever find one im about to buy a five string acoustic bass not upright but ween i get a upright ill check out 5 stings i just love that low b sound of the first strind

Please play that low B with a bow, it would sound louder and clearer.

what are the string names for this? from lowest to highest, if it's still tuned in fourths, it should be B-E-A-D-G correct?
