Dusty Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Mustang Owners - Opinions Please. I’ve just acquired a newish US Fender Performer Mustang Bass that is fitted with La Bella Flats. I’ve never been a lover of flats myself and find them very dull. I’ve always used roundwound and love the bite of them. Which Rounds do you like ? I’ve not stripped it down yet but I’m also informed the string length is classed a medium due to being ‘through the body’. Is that right ? Thanks Quote
Jonse Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Yep, medium length strings, 32" will see you right. I only play flats now but I really liked DR HI-Beams in the past. They seemed to last a long while longer than other brands, for me at least. Don't know if they do 32" though. Quote
MichaelDean Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 I also can't get on with flats and like D'Addario EXL160M on my Mustang. They seem to last pretty well and have good zing. And yep, medium scale is correct for a through body strung Mustang. 1 Quote

Nice tension and balance and they last. Quote
Dusty Posted February 14, 2022 Author Posted February 14, 2022 EXL160M, are you using that through the body ? Or should I go for 170M ? Quote
