********************************* 5 or 6 string bass ********************************
This is my toto's prefered song together with Stranger in town, we can make it tonight and Afraid of love.
I used to play it using every string I have (6 strings), but you can play with a 5 strings just putting the fill with C notes 1 octave lower....
I think that with a 4 strings the song becomes a bit boring, but you can try just transposing
