Daft string question

[Paul S]

Silly question time.

I have a set of long scale flatwound strings - can I put them on a short scale bass and just snip off the excess?

ta.

[Jellyfish]

Yes.

Don't see why not - it's not like it's against the law or anything

[Paul S]

Ta. That was easy.

I wondered if I might get a knock on the door from the string police...

[apa]

If the main thick bit of the E and possibly the A strings can fit in the machine head slots then yes. If they dont then, well no!

String and the police?

I heard that you can get an ASBO (Anti-Social Bassist Order) for pulling that kind of stunt!
