theshape101 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I've a 33" scale bass that is strung B-G and I find that generally when restringing the bass the B string's taper happens on the post (as they are usually made for 34/35" scale basses), which caused a string to snap at that point the 1st time I did a string change. Has anyone any recommendations for strings to try that might avoid this or is there any B-G string sets available for 33" scale basses? I usually use .45-.130 strings.

molan Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thomastik and La Bella often have gauges and scales other people don't. I just tracked down some Mustang specific and Shergold 6 medium scale strings for someone. Both were special order but got them in about 10 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikay Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I believe Newtone strings can make up custom sets so they may be worth contacting - [url="http://www.newtonestrings.com/"]http://www.newtonestrings.com[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
