Short Scale Strings

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I have a Gibson Les Paul Tiumph which has a short scale, the E string sounds awful, I've heard this is a common problem on short scale basses. Some time ago someone recommended some strings that were very good for short scale (but I can't remember the make), can anyone recommend a make to me.

It's got a set of Ernie Ball Round wound 95s on it currently and the E just has an atonal thump with some odd harmonics.

Suggestions?

Cheers

I've got an unused set of LaBella flats (black plastic coated) for 30" scale basses - made to fit the Rob Allen Mouse basses, but they didn't fit my short scale (thru body needs a bit more length). I've got a full sized set on a Jazz bass, they're great strings. PM me if you're interested?
