DC52 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Does anyone know what strings will fit a Minion bass? All the short scale strings I've looked at are 32 inches from ball end to start of taper, which is the length of the backplate to post on the Minion. By the way, it is a lovely bass for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Newtone will make any scale length you want. Great strings! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Might be worth emailing Andertons or someone else that sells the Minion series to see if they've got any suggestions. There must be a simple solution. Surely no one is going to market a guitar that's primarily aimed at beginners that you can't easily get replacement strings for.

Ibanez sell the 32 scale Mezzo 5 string with D'addarios.... and D'addario won't sell the medium scale B string to the public. Have to get a different brand even if you like what it came with. So yes, there is precedent for idiotic decisions by the makers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd80 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Dont know if this will help? http://www.shortscalebass.co.uk/short-scale-string-choice/ Also I did find these from ibanez. For the mikro. But might work. They also do a 4 string set. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ibanez-Guitar-Strings-IEBS5CMK-Coated/dp/B06XXNJC49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
