Dude...right now I play a 4 string Fender, and I'd fucking die for a five string...something like Alex w. from Cannibal Corpse owns. That's my dream rig...so feel good about a 5 stringer. They play just like any other bass, it just has an extra string...

Oh, and it all depends on what kind of music you wanna play...4-5 string basses fit mainly anything...so your in a good spot right now.
