geoffbyrne Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I'd like to try a single tapered B - say 130 - on my 35" scale, but am unsure which to get. The rest would be Overwater strings. Give me your suggestions, Gents. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbyrne Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Should have said these are flatwound... Sorry! G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Can you buy tapered flatwound strings? I'm not sure I've seen any of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 I defo had one on my BB415 which I parted with last year, but I can't remember what strings were on it, although I suspect they might have been Fender 9050s. But I doubt they would be OK for 35". G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I believe sadowsky do tapered flatwounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 OK I've checked those, but there doesn't seem to be a 35" option, unless the standard string is longer. However I note that these are mot recommended for through-body stringing, suggesting they are 34". G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Makes sense as sadowsky very rarely do 35" scale and I've not seen a through body straining either. Mark at bassdirect probably stocks the best range of long scale strings - worth giving him a call ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Good idea, I'll give it a go next week. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
