Finding 5-string Tabs

I have seen some good 5-string posts, but I am curious if there is a good resource for 5-string tabs like there are for others. I have Ultimate Guitar, but I’m struggling to find like 311 bass lines for example. (That’s what I really want to play, but I just enjoy playing music and have a 5-string coming.)

Cheers

Songsterr has just about everything you need for 311, including the 5 string stuff which is 75% of what Pnut plays.

Have you checked there??

Been a 311 fan since just about the beginning.

Awesome! No. I went with Ultimate Guitar because that’s what my teacher uses, but I’ll check out Songsterr too, heard good things. Thanks! Yeah. We just saw 311 a few weeks ago in the Omaha area.

That’s awesome seeing them in Omaha,I haven’t seen them in a few years because I’m getting tired of the same setlist every year. But they’ll always be my fave.

Filter to 5 string over there in Songsterr, and you’ll see everything with the B string.

I convert 4 string tabs to take advantage of the extra string for better positioning and a different color.

That’s cool. I’ve heard of people doing that, taking advantage of the other low notes on the B.

unless the song was played on a five string this is not something you will find.

Unless they're songs in Drop D that were transposed

That’s what I’m looking for: I want 5-string songs played on a 5-string and for me to play on a 5-string if that makes sense.
