I have a question for the guitar types, why a 5 string bass, if a standard bass is not enough, why not just go with a baritone guitar?

Yeah, some purists hate 'em :-D
"Extended range" bass guitars extend the range of the instrument, usually by adding a lower B string. My son has one like that, but other examples use a high C string to extend the upper range instead.
Not a bass player myself, so I couldn't give you a definitive reason for this instrument instead of a baritone guitar - maybe it's just convenient? Maybe it's just a gimmick? ...Dunno.
I'm only guessing, but I suspect it's just a bassist's answer to achieving extended range, while a baritone guitar is a lead guitarist's answer :-\
