Tapered B for 35"?

[geoffbyrne]

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.

Should have said these are flatwound... Sorry!

Can you buy tapered flatwound strings? I'm not sure I've seen any of those.

[geoffbyrne]

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".

I believe sadowsky do tapered flatwounds

[geoffbyrne]

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".

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 ?

Good idea, I'll give it a go next week.
