This type of bass guitar is equipped with five strings, allowing for a wider range of notes, particularly lower tones, without needing to detune. It features active electronics, including an internal, battery-powered preamplifier, which shapes the sound. The body has a distinct wood grain pattern, and the neck appears to be made of a lighter wood with dark fret markers. The bass also has four control knobs and visible pickups. Five-string basses are commonly used in genres like metal, jazz, and funk. Aqg
