Can you add a few details as to why bass needs new strings and what tweaking is required. Thanks.

The strings on it are a cheap set that I bought for the show I played it in, that combined with my inexperience with headless basses just means the tunings pegs at the bottom might need some adjustments/tightening. My apologies I am still quite new with all the details of gear but yes I believe it is a short scale bass I measured the neck and it came to 32"

The low B string looks to be off the saddle, and also not actually secured in the tuner body.

Yeah the string spacing looks weird... Just a bit of magnetic pull with it lying flat? Is the action super-low?

In short I cut the strings incorrectly and so the string extended at both ends (the tuning peg is fine) but the string itself is essentially broken, I never changed it.

Hi Obby - thanks so much for your reply and for the clarification. After a bit of digging, it seems to me that this is not a short scale model, your measurements also confirm this. I haven’t seen this color in a shortscale but in the Emerald Green only. I’m happy to be corrected. Additionally, the string installation problem totally clarifies why a new set is called for. Hope your sale goes well and once again, many thanks for your transparency.

Not if it is a 1005ms, as it appears to be, the 1005sms is the short scale and it comes in a darker green than this.

He did mentioned in an earlier post that it is a short scale, it would be a good idea to update this in the original sale thread to save any confusion.
