Hi mate, I don't have experience with Bass strings but I think that you will have to calibrate the bass if you want to use another thickness. Let's see what Bogdan says about this.

I don't know anyone who did this but it all depends on the string thickness (gauge).
If the lowest (E string) is somewhere between 90-110 maybe even 120, he'll probably be able to fit it in. Or he could also skip the thickest string from the 5 string set, all again depending on the gauge of the set. Not sure how economic this would be as 5 string sets are more expensive and 4 string set on a 4 string bass will always be more balanced. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
