Hi Guys,

Has anyone had any experiance with a 5 String 32 inch scale. Im wondering about how well the Low b would play if you had it setup that way.

Thanks
Mike

Hi Michael,

welcome here!
Is 32" a short scale or a medium scale?
If medium: brother Jan has a EVH signature 5 string what is medium.
In case of short scales ...I really dunno!

Yep Paul is right

I have a 32" 5 string which sounds great and tight on the B. 32" inch is Alembics medium scale as you can see half way the page on http://www.alembic.com/info/custom_options.html.
No problem at all.

Some pics of the 5 string are available on http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/479.html?1022771206

Cheers
Jan

I also have a 32 inch scale with a low B. It is a graphite neck bass. I don't know if that makes a difference with the low B or not. I find the low B on this bass to be quite nice actually. It has a low action, so I play it soft. I think that if someone was used to playing a bass harder, it may be a problem.
