5 String bass allows the player to get down lower and travel a little more freely in one position. I have notated a Dm Pentatonic scale for 5 string bass. It is a movable pattern, if you were to up the starting note a whole tone (two frets) to an E and did the same for every note in the patterns then you would have yourself an Em Pentatonic. The3 construction of the scale is standard to any instrument and you can read the theory on the Pentatonic scale supplied in the Scale Theory Section.
