Hi

Anyone able to advise what are the winding lengths for Daddario short and medium scale strings? I have a bass that may require medium scale but wanted to check, thanks

I'd also add NOT to use the 'scale length' (e.g 37") of an instrument, which is the measurement from the [i]saddles[/i] to the nut, as your measurement as this will reward you with the wrong information and the string will come up short.

Dan is spot on here, don't forget about the length of string between the saddle and tail piece/ferrule.
