33" scale 5-string set

Are there any 5-string sets out there that fit a 33" scale without the B-strings main diameter wrapping around the tuning post?

If it's for one of your basses, Cliff (which I'd love to own one of someday!

). You might consider having just the B strung through the body... that way a standard 34" scale string should work properly.

Just a suggestion.

The usual sort of bridge, or one with a bit extra length between ball & saddle-leaving?

The string thru is definitely the solution to allow any strings.

The bridge will be a Hipshot "A" style.
