They are complete sets, unused, and in the original packaging.
These are for sale only, Paypal only, and prices include shipping to the USA. Items located in Dayton, OH.
- 2 sets of Rotosound shortscale sets RS66S. $40 for both, shipping included. These are good for a bass with 30 inch scale length but not longer.
- 7 sets of DR strings MH5-45 (45, 65, 85, 105, 125). $25/ea, shipping included. Buy one, two, or all, the price per package is the same.
- SOLD 2 sets of D'Addario HR71 (45, 80, 65, 100) steel wrapped half-rounds. $15 each, shipping included. This set has been discontinued, and these particular strings were bought in the early 90s. They've been sitting around for a while, but I'm sure they are ok to use.
- one set D'Addario EXL230. (55, 75, 90, 110) $12 shipping included.
Please PM with any questions.
(Edit 11 Feb 2013 - photos posted in replies)
(Edit 19 Feb 2013 - sold HR71 sets)

| | Registered User USAF Band of Flight, Dayton, Ohio | | Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Dayton, OH | | Good question... The strings are good for 35" scale, maybe 36" depending on your bridge. The winding is 37" from ball-end to end of the first wrap.
The B strings are NOT tapered. Quote:
