Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Q: What does the "T" on the .128T string stand for?

• A: The "T" stands for Tapered. This means the string becomes thinner toward the ball-end, which helps the heavy low B string sit properly in the bridge and improves overall intonation and sustain.

• Q: Can I use this set on a 34" long-scale 5-string bass?

• A: No. The 32 1/4" wound length is specifically for short-scale instruments. On a long-scale bass, the silk would sit within the nut, and the thick part of the string would wrap around the tuner, which can cause the string to break.

• Q: Will these fit my string-through-body bass?

• A: No. This set is designed for top-loading bridges only. The sharp angle of a through-body bridge can cause the flat wound outer wrap to crack or unravel; please use the specialized "-TB" versions for through-body setups.
