Most of the time that is code for "I've stolen this and can't think of a better reason to make my sale seem genuine"

Unnecessarily giant text.

I had 4 hours left of September!!! 4 whole hours! Well inside. 😁

Brand new to all of this! This is the first track I've recorded with my little studio set up... it's best listened to loud! The night sky was used by many a captain to navigate... even those on creaky pirate ships! (Yes, I am shoe-horning my track into the brief!)

@MSL Pro - Any thoughts on the above?

@MSL Pro For me, the bridge on my ACG 30.5" is a standard Hipshot B type 17mm bridge with standard Gotoh GB350 resolite tuners. So fitment in the hardware shouldn't be a problem. The gauge on the set I currently have is .032 .050 .070 .090 .110 .135. So very close to what you offer on your 6er sets, your gauges would be perfectly fine for me so long as they work for the scale. I don't want to commit to buying a set, cut them to fit, and they just don't operate as they should. If I bought a set of your LongEvo strings, are there any guarantees you can offer that they would be serviceable if cut (after bending) and fitted to a 30.5" bass?

@MSL Pro are you able to make a set of LongEvo strings for a 30.5" scale 6 string bass?

Literally the 9th time someone has posted this to the eBay section... getting rather tiresome now.

Definitely my ACG 30.5 scale 6 string... Never did I think moving from 34" to a 30.5" would be such a good choice! An exceptional beast.

I use a clean Hi-Fi tone on some tracks, I use reverb and delay on others, some even a bit of fuzz, maybe a shade of distortion, and some tracks just run through a true bypass and go direct from bass to amp. Horses for courses, no one is right, no one is wrong! That's it surely?

If you're able to make a set of the LongEvo strings suitable for a 6 string 30.5 scale bass I will commit to buying a set and be happy to thoroughly and fairly review them. There is a very much increasing trend of short/medium scale bass players out there. This could be a good, mostly untapped, market!

I'd be happy to, but I play a 6 string 30.5 scale bass, and you don't make that specification that I am aware of, my other basses are 7+ strings and you don't sell those either!

Are these strings essentially what used to be D'Orazio strings?

This is definitely not a guitar of course... It's headless, it has strings, it's made by one of this parish, therefore it counts! A Reiver Kompakt T7 with ART burl top and a flame Sycamore board.

I said I'd never use such things... BUT having had my custom ACG for nearly a year now, I do miss fret markers. Especially when playing on a neutral neck and playing a lot of chordal pieces towards the bottom end of the neck. I recently invested in some faux abalone fret markers made from some kind of 0.07mm thick wizard material. They look OK, they feel OK, they do absolutely serve the purpose of seeing where I'm at, but I'm still not convinced. Being a hard core stickler for originality, in pains me that these are on the bass, but they are definitely useful! Naturally I've applied them in the same position Alan tends to place his luminlay, just to make it feel slightly more like they've always been there!

Tony? Y Not!
