In 5 string bass guitar the low b string is same as an open e?
No it's not. It is 5 steps (frets) lower than the usual low E. Some 5 strings have a high B added. That would be tuned 5 steps above open G. A 5 string isn't the only way to get a low B. I just restringed my bass to BEAD. Still 4 strings so the neck is narrow, but I gave up the G string for the low B.
What is step neck?
A StepNeck instrument is a guitar or bass guitar with a graduated neck for adding strings on the treble side of the neck. The StepNeck concept was developed by Michael Hulsey and first licensed to Read Custom Instruments. With this design, the neck near the head is a conventional width. As the player reaches the higher notes up the scale, the neck becomes wider, thus allowing a higher range without necessitating narrow string spacing or causing difficulties reaching the instrument's lowest notes.
Can you put 6 string bass strings onto a 5 string bass - I want to make my 5 string as heavy as possible without just tuning down?
The stings for a 6-string bass are the same gauge and tuning as the ones for a 5-string. The only difference is that a 6-string has a 32 gauge low string. The bridge and tuners should work with the 32 gauge string. Because you are going to be moving all of the strings down one (assuming you want to illuminate the thinnest string), you will be increasing the thickness of all of the strings. You are going to need to adjust the bridge because the neck has a rounded edge and if you don't adjust the string height, you will get a lot of fret buzz.
Is it possible to get a double neck guitar that is twelve string and bass?
Anything is possible if you have the money for it. If you call or email a particular company you like that makes double-neck guitars, just ask them for an estimate on a twelve-string/bass double neck. Note that if you do this, you're going to want to use a bass amplifier, as playing an electric bass through a guitar amp will blow out your speakers. (Guitar amps are not meant to handle the low register of a bass.) In the mockumentary movie "Spinal Tap," you can see a double-necked bass when they're playing "Tonight I'm going to rock you tonight" You can also research the Chapman Stick, an instrument that uses both guitar and bass strings. It's probably not what you're looking for, but an interesting instrument nonetheless.

Why are there many strings for a guitar?
usually a neck on a bass is longer so that you can play lower notes betterIt gives a deeper and "Bassier" tonal quality. Also the strings are longer because of the lower pitch of the notes that are generally played. A pitch of a string depends not only on the length but also the tension. A loose short string doesn't sound as good as a long tighter string.

Aria pro 2 magna series bass guitar?
OK mid-level bass. I do own a MAB 20 / 5 - a five string one. Two JB style Aria Pro PUP's, 3 knobs (like the Jazz Bass), very good sustain. The 5-strings has a thinner neck, so, the distance between the strings is smaller. It's not for slap, but a great bass for finger picking.
