Im wondering about how well the Low b would play if you had it setup that way.

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!

No problem at all. Some pics of the 5 string are available on http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/479.html?1022771206 Cheers Jan Michael Delacerda (dela217) Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 85 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 29, 2003 - 10:24 am:    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.
