beerdragon Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I've been given a set of elites standard gauge long scale strings, will these fit a Fender Jazz? i have a feeling that they could be too long even if they are cut down, thanks.

bass_ferret Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Should do. Long scale normally means 34 inches - any thing else is short scale and longer is extra-long. Fender Jazz are all 34" as it was Leo Fender who set the standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only strings that dont need cutting is when you use through body stringing and even then they need trimming unless you want loads of wraps round the peg.

BigRedX Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 The only set of bass strings I've had that didn't need cutting were the set of Roberts I put on my Squire VM Jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
