d-basser Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thinking about trying new bass strings (currently a DR lowriders user) and I was looking at elixirs. Not sure about scale length though. They'd be for a Lakland 5502 35" scale and I like to string through the body. Will this be long scale or extra long scale? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 In my experience (Peavey Cirrus BXP thru-body 35" scale) most strings whose packets say 'Long Scale' are meant for 34", and not necessarily thru-body either. On advice from here, I got a set of Overwater Extra Longs & they are fine, but it came with DR HiBeams on it & I think I'll be going back to those when it's time to change. G.
