    I have a 1980 Pre Ernie Ball Music Man black leather strap. It still works.

    The G string would not be long enough to wrap effectively around the tuner post. D string would be on the edge, so to speak.

    I like coloured silk.

    Thanks for a very swift reply. Do you recall were the flats Hofner branded or the Pyramid Golds (which I believe are the same)?

    What colour is the silk on the La Bella nylons? Is it the usual purple?

    I've got the same - also pimped with teacups! What do you mean by flip the pickups? As for the strings, seriously, whack some flats on as soon as you can - it will bring the bass to life! Mine's got the Hofner flats with the dark green silks. Joyous thump. Sorry to resurrect such and old thread but ... I recently acquired a Hofner Ignition Club Bass and the Hofner Black Nylon Flats E-string (with the light green silk) doesn't fit through the tuner. Are you saying the nickel flats fitted OK?

    Levy's EM8S Bass Gigbag labelled Lakland on the lower zip pocket. This has been 'under-the-bed' since 2008, so it might be called 'new old stock' and it's definitely what your Lakland bass is crying out for ... £40 posted to the UK. Here's the Levy's description...

    The E string, which is cut shortest, has approx 5 inches of silk beyond the 32.5 inches ball end to silk. The A string is approx 2 inches longer, and D and G are longer still.
  25. EssentialTension
    They are typical Rotosound 30" short scale. Ball end to silk is roughly 32.5 inches.
