What size/gauge strings are recommended for this bass guitar?

There are quite a few 5 string bass strings sets you can buy off Amazon. In general for a warmer sound try flat wound strings. I bought D'Addario ETB 92 Tape wound strings because I wanted to get a little bit of a stand up bass sound. For a general all around sound, try some nickel wound strings. For a bright sound you can try steel wound strings. So it depends on what sound you are looking for, and you may have to buy more than one package of strings to get the sound you want that fits your 5 string bass. Also you probably will have to trim a little bit of the ends of the strings after you put them on your bass. Some of the bass string packages will say extra long up to a 36 inch bass scale.

how to place in order to be delivered in KSA

I’m not sure what the customs law is of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I bought a Samick bass in Bahrain a long time ago.

Does the B string play well and sound right on this bass?

Do you doubt of IBanez? You should not doubt about this manufacture. i have been using Ibanez bass 4 and 5 string for year. Always great sound.
