High five?

I'm considering a 5.

I really don't know that much about 5's or 6's.
Now please correct / assist my assumptions here.
Would a high B get me to the top line on the grand staff?
Would a high C be a better bet and if so why?

How would one go about converting a 5 from low B to a high B, would there be a need to adjust the truss rod?
I assume the low B would be removed and the rest of the strings moved over rather than ratchet up the tension. Is there an easy way of getting a single high string, an equation of string sizing perhaps?

I like the idea of playing two (or more) bass parts.

What haven't I tought of in this cunning plan?

Ha ha. you're right there, but I would still have a low E, which if I'm right in thinking, covers nearly all classic rock, rock 'n roll, funk and blues.

Get an E-C 5 string and a decent octave/sub octave pedal. Then you don't need the low B ever again
