Owen Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I have just put a set of La Bella 0760M (Jamerson ones, dontchyaknow) on a 35" scale bass. G,D,A and B are fine and dandy. E is 1.5cm short with the silk protruding over the nut. It goes to tension and all that, but I just wonder why the rest of the set are fine and this is not? How I laughed.

E sharp Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I had this with Elites with my rear loaded stingray on the E sting only . I just now never buy strings with silked ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 That sounds like a medium scale string got mixed in with a long scale set at the La Bella factory. Email them and they might send a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 It turns out the set on a 35" scale feels like solid rods of steel so they are coming of in the next 10 minutes and going on a 33". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Not my day. I have just put a set of TI Powerbass strings on the same bass. I had been saving them for the right occasion. This was not it. Comedy short B string again. Cannot even slice silk off as the windings begin to taper before the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
