Thanks in advance
With Lefty basses it can be anything as some were 2/3 and some 3/2 depending on which way they tuned the bass as some did tune and play it Righty and some also wanted the Righty head 3/2 but tuned Lefty. Now, it is 2/3 (or 3/2 for lefty) for all 5s, 2 on the bass side for a 5, the B and E and 2 treble A, D and G. That is the new standard now for nearly 10 years.
