Five strings usually tuned B 0 –E 1 –A 1 –D 2 –G 2, providing extended lower range. The earliest commercial five-string bass was created by Fender in 1965. The Fender Bass V used the E–A–D–G–C tuning, but was unpopular and discontinued in 1970. This tenor tuning is still used by some jazz and soloing bassists.

When the player triggers the detuner, it drops the pitch of the string by a pre-set interval. A common use of detuners is to drop the low E to a low ...

Yepes' ten-string guitar. The extended-range classical guitar is a classical guitar with additional strings, normally extra bass strings past the bass E string, that are available on the fingerboard. Many configurations have been produced, but the ten-string classical guitar received a particular boost [1] in 1964, when Narciso Yepes performed ...
