5-string, Medium scale reverse headstock?

[BaileyMan]

Is anyone making these necks or basses?

I guess what I'm looking for would be a lefty neck I could put on a righty bass...

I love playing 32" scale basses, and 5 strings have been working well in my current projects, but the limited string options are getting old.

I also understand (from what I've read on other threads) that it might provide a more even string feel across all strings.

Does a reverse headstock add tension?

Is anyone making a reverse headstock for a medium scale 5er?

I've never seen one. Mangan can make 32" scale B and E strings. I use them on my 32" scale 7 string and a 35" scale bass with a Kahler since many strings have too short of winding. I usually order several sets and they last a long time.

Thanks for the tip on the Mangan strings. I've never heard of them before.

D'Addario too makes a medium-scale, nickel-plated steel 130 (XLB130M):

Good to know. I don't know why I haven't seen those singles before.

Oh, I wasn't aware of them either, until @BobbyMacII mentioned them here a couple weeks ago:

Extra string length after the nut or bridge won’t make a bit of difference.
