They are not specially sized for the bass. Yes, they are long scale, cut to size, but with that string, it works fine.

If you get one of these basses, give the stock strings a chance. When I get a new bass, I am usually in a big rush to rip the stock strings off and put on good ones. But the strings that come with this bass are very good. Fender nickel steel 45 to 105. They can do anything. Definitely not junk strings.

I dislike phosphor bronze, and I know lots of other players that do, as well. I actually have nickel on my acoustic.

I just bought one. It is a quality build for the money. Lots of fun.
