bassbiscuits Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Forgive me if this has already been asked.... Is there a rule of thumb to calculate/estimate how much string tension decreases as scale length gets shorter? A set of 45-105s feels looser on a 30" bass than it does on a 34" bass, right? But is it possible to accurately calculate what gauge would be needed to keep the tension the same? (For example when i play guitar, i use 10s on Fender scale lengths, but move up a gauge to 11s for Gibson.) Just curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
