I didnt want to start another thread to ask one question and end up starting another thread to ask another question so I decided that maybe this would be a good idea to have in the bass forum like in the guitar forum so random BASS related questions could be asked here.

Anyway, I was wondering would there be enough string tension in a 4 string bass with a scale length of 34" with string guages .055, .075, .90 and .110 or would a 4 string bass with a 35" scale length be better with those same guages for tuning to BEAD?
Also, i would like to keep it 4 strings instead of 5. Thanks.
