I'm with you there Sandy. Nobody was playing a 5'vr in the 60' and 70's! Now if you're playin' stoner/doom metal it's mandatory! (And tuned down three or four steps!)
You can always tune B-E-A-D and still use your 4-string bass.
Well you could but when I try it the results are less than satisfactory, mostly because the strings feel loose and floppy.
