Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: Will these fit my 34" long-scale bass?
-
A: No. This set has a 34 1/4" wound length (ball-end to silk). On a standard long-scale bass, the silk would sit behind the nut or the thick part of the string would wrap around the tuner, which can cause the string to break.
-
Q: Can I use this set for a string-through-body bridge?
-
A: No, this set is designed for top-loading bridges only. For string-through-body instruments, you must use the specialized "-TB" (Thru-Body) models to prevent the string from snapping at the bridge.
-
Q: How do I know if I need Medium Scale instead of Short Scale?
-
A: You should measure from the ball-end of your current string to just past the nut. If that distance is approximately 34 1/4", this Medium Scale set is the correct fit for your instrument.
