Soliloquy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Since my Overwater strings still haven't arrived after a week. I'm going to order some more, this time from Stringsdirect. I usually use DR Lo-rider or Sunbeams, but they haven't got a 6 string set in stock in my preferred gauge. I've used D'Addario EXL strings in past, they're pretty good. My new Overwater bass is 35" scale though, anyone know how long their long scale strings are ?

PTB Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Long scale XLs fit my 35" Reverend just fine. I once had a 36" Overwater & think I used them on that too but it was many years ago. P T B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretlessguy Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If your bass is a body through stung bridge, or its 35" scale or up, you will need the superlongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
