Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between four-string and five-string bass?
The five-string adds a low B string below the standard E, extending the bass range downward. The Extreme-5's 35-inch scale supports this lower string with proper tension and sustain.
Is the Omen Extreme-4 LH suitable for right-handed players?
No—the Omen Extreme-4 LH is specifically designed for left-handed players. Right-handed players should choose the Omen Extreme-5 or other right-handed models.
How do the neck profiles differ between these two basses?
The Extreme-5 features a thin 'C' profile (.787" at fret 1, .866" at fret 12) designed for comfort during extended sessions. The Extreme-4 LH is described as slim and fast, optimized for quick position shifts and shredding, though exact measurements aren't provided.
Which bass works better for jazz?
Neither is ideal for traditional jazz—both are listed as not suitable for that genre. Both excel in rock, metal, funk, and progressive styles instead.
