Oh yeah I have the action CRAZY low on my Schecter DP5.

Just got the La Bella 1954 Oldie. I'm in love!

Have to recommend GHS flats for 5 string. I have these on all my basses.

Basically any flatwound set is available in this and add -TB to the end.

The E string is the only string different in a 4 string set. The string has about a 2" tapered/silked section. The B string in 5-String sets is like that as well.
They are fairly new and not many of La Bella's dealers have them.

I have a Carvin 5 string with a light set and the .126 B. sounds and feels great!

Do these both come in LONG scale?

I like the regular TI flats on 35" scale basses. The extra inch adds the slight bit of tension that for me makes the TIs much more playable.

The problem is that the silk at the end of the strings may not make it through the nut.
