Actually I was going to suggest that you closely observe the other 5 string players. You will probably note they rarely if ever use all 5 strings.

Then after they play ask them why they use a 5 string if they don't use 5 strings...

But don't do this..I did it once and it really upset the dude.

Hi:

Had the same thing happen last week at our open Mic night. This band came in and the bass player (really nice guy) got up to play, well the bass player was late so we were going to get their band up, just then the bass player showed up, he hadn't heard our band yet. He was using some Schector 5 string, and he wasn't using all the strings either. When our band got up I grabbed my MIJ 83 Squier Bullet Bass I just got for 40 bucks last month, and I'm up playing away, later the guy told me if I used a 5 string I would have to change positions as much, I said If I did that people would think I'm NOT playing, he kinda laughed, I said they're just not my thing
