Medium scale bass strings, after an aggressive tone, what are my options?

[markdavid]

Hi all,

As per the thread title I am after finding a nice aggressive sounding set of strings for a medium scale bass, so far I have on my list to possibly try Prosteels, Rotos, Boomers, any others I should try? Thanks

If Warwick make the scale required try their Red Label steel rounds. Virtually the same sound as Rotosound but last at least  twice as long.

Thanks, they dont seem to do medium scale but for the small amount they cost it might be worth me taking the risk and cutting a longscale set to fit

I've put longscale strings on short scale basses without any issues. 

The strings (rounds) will probably go dead long before you loose integrity of the string being cut for a shorter scale length.
