Too short, don't fit

Theodoor 06.04.2025

The 4-string version sounded OK on my basses strung through the bridge. But through the body of my G&L L2500 Tribute, I ran into two problems:
1) The B-string 's just too short. The part where the .130 gauge starts didn't make it to the nut, making an open B rattle.
2) The ball ends of the other 4 didn't fit into the ferrules. Never seen that before.

Report

Adequate strings, but unsuitable for 35" scales

LargeBakedPotato 02.05.2025

The strings sound and feel fine, they're a touch coarses than the big brands and they sound roughly like week old Ernie Balls out of the box (Which I actually like! It means i don't have to go through the awkward overly zingy first week)
Sadly, the strings are only made for 34" scales or shorter. The E and A strings barely get to the nut before tapering and the low B is too short and tapers a good half inch before the nut. I managed to get it working with a scrap of paper in the nut for the time being, but I won't be getting them again for this bass. A darn shame because they feel great for the price and i doubt the manufacturer is saving that much money by skimping on the taper length

Great strings

Finally got around to restringing the 5 string ibanez after many years of worn out Ernie balls. For the price these are pretty nice and would buy again. Very bright and decent length.
