is a 5 string bass a major disadvantage to this technique because im interested in a 5 string schecter stilleto custom?

[BassLessonsOnline]

Narrow string spacing is often a concern when slapping on 5-string basses. The Schechter 5 is fine (medium to wide spacing) and it has a 35" scale. However, you should try before you buy.

Generally, 4-string basses are easier to slap than 5's. But ... if you start on a 5 it will be no problem - because we easily get used to our first instrument.

Bass of Luck ... and congratulations in advance!

The slapping is super easy the popping is hard...

@BassLessonsOnline Thanks for the reply, it helps a lot and I think I am going to get it, unfortuantely I cannot try it because its an online auction purchase but being a schecter owner and reading a lot of reviews about the bass in particular I feel that its a worth while buy especially for the price. Thanks again :)

Post a video for me to take a look and comment.

Medium gauge is fine, i.e. 45 - 105. Once you fine tune your slap technique, you can adjust your string gauges accordingly.

That is actually the case with most slappers.
