lowlandtrees Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Just bought very nice Ibanez short scale five string. Low B is low rider 125 but tension is far too low. Would going up to a 140 or 150 or whatever solve the problem. Never had a short scale. Maybe a different string at the same size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlandtrees Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Thanks Keith....I assumed that it came with the low riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlandtrees Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Reckon I would get away with changing one string? Rest are fine....might be a tuning issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I think they come with D'adarrios as OEM and they do single .145 strings too I think?. Lo -Rider don't do a .145 however so it would not be matched. The Lo Riders were only used for about 1 hour by me so are pretty fresh.

lowlandtrees Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Really heavy gauge strings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
