Scale length, if the tension would be the same?

To have the same tension with the same gauge strings you would need to add another 5 frets worth of neck. That would put the octave at B on what was the E string. The distance from the 7th fret to the bridge on a 34" scale bass is 22.5". 

Therefore your B-D bass with the same gauge string at the same tension would need a scale length of 45"
