Guts on a 5er? Wow, that's brave. They couldn't get a sound out of the E some 200 years ago and you're gonna try a gut B?
Well, depending on the 'gut core/wound silver' ratio it might work but even with full steels we have trouble with B strings..
Good luck.. let us know.
Also, new basses do not speak as clear on the bottom as older more seasoned instruments do.
A double challenge in my mind but then again, I don't know your bass at all. Just a guess.
