pete.young Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Does anyone have a Hondo Alien or a Kramer Duke and know what strings will fit properly? It's short scale and the taper needs to be in the right place to fit through the tiny guitar-style tuners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I used to have a Hondo Alien, and I can't remember any short scale (30" scale length) strings that I tried not fitting. Lots of European made short scale basses have tuners with guitar-string sized holes so the typical short scale string has to be made to fit them. If you want specifics, Rotosound round wounds definitely fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks BigRedX that's very helpful. I think I will try a set of status half rounds they work well my other short scale bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
