Jezyorkshire Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Does a string length of 102cm/40inch fall within a 3/4 size bass, seems most this size are stated as between 104-106cms as far as i can find out, am i correct in assuming that i can use normal 3/4 strings and will this mean that on my bass with a string length of 102cm there will be a little less tension than on the more normal lenght of 104/106cms, cheers, Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbassist Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 You will be fine with normal 3/4 strings jez. 102cm is not unusual. Enjoy :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonzoooroo Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 You won't notice the difference in tension - less than 2%. I've got an EUB with a 101 scale length and 4/4 nylon cores on, and even that doesn't feel particularly slack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
