Ibanez Artcore SS 5 string bass

[mfleming1963]

I am considering purchasing an Ibanez AGB205 short scall 5 string bass, but before I pull the trigger I would like to know if anyone knows if there are faltwound, 5 string sets in short scale? So far I have not been able to find any. I guess one option would be to build a set using indivudual strings, but I'd rather be able to buy a set if I can. Thanks for any input.

I've been tempted by those before, I love the look of the dark violin burst finish, but I can't get over the short scale low B issue, I'm dissatisfied enough with most low Bs at 34" scale.

This thread should be of your interest. What is the exact length, tailpiece to E string tuner? Can long scale strings fit? (Questions for the OP on that thread or other owners, not prospective ones like you.)
