iconic Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Any reason why i cant use strings for a 34" scale on a 32.5" scale bass? I would of thought that shouldnt be a problem but best to run this past the BC bretheren? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason as long as they fit correctly. I've just put Medium Scale strings on my Short Scale resonator bass as Short Scale ones are too short. This thread may help. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/224868-status-bass-strings/page__p__2311785__hl__strings%20status__fromsearch__1#entry2311785 Edited December 22, 2013 by BetaFunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 In principle fine but it does depend on things like distance from bridge to tailpiece etc. and actual length of string between silks. So what bass and which strings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2x18 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Some you can get away with, but I have found Pyramid and La Bella Flats E String break at the tuner because of the large diameter! Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
