Thanks. colm The hole that receives the string in the machine head is thinner than normal machine heads. Also, the distance between the nut and first machine head is quite small (low E string). It’s seems that the strings for this bass must have been quite specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 My suggestion would be to contact Newtone strings and have a chat. They will make whatever you want/need and are very reasonable price wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also made the only strings that ever gave me a decent note out of the low E on my Burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
