Grantd Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) I'm looking for tapewounds for my short, short scale fretless bass (26.5 ACG bass). Labella don't make strings that short, does anyone have any suggestions how I can string 30" strings or where I could get shorter ones?

TheGreek Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Status have some medium scale Tapewounds which would fit....lower priced than most (£14) and 40 or 45 gauge. http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried them but no, I have asked for some flatwounds when they start making them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Status, D'Addario and Labella don't do that length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they even a thing now? Obviously Newtone can do the right length but they only do Roundwounds, right? I know Neil was interested in trying Flats but I don't know if he's anywhere near yet...
