What dimensions were these strings made for?

[peteswanson91]

standard 3/4 size bass, 42 inch string length

[Nathan Levine]

If Gerold made them for you then I believe the after lengths were custom made per your basses dimensions. The before lengths too, or whatever they're called up above the nut.

I asked Gerold about this before I lent some of his Red Label strings to another player. He said that basically as long as the metal part of the string doesn't wind round the tuners in the pegbox they should at least be safe from breakages, although obviously they are custom made for optimum performance on the original owner's instrument.

[peteswanson91]

the metal hasn't been wound around the pegs, so they are a ok

[TonyD]

are these strings designed for both pizz and arco?

Here is Frank Proto playing them both pizz and arco:

Yes, thanks for posting that video (this, and other things, has me thinking about trying out an angled endpin).

Just out of interest what were your impressions of these strings for various modes of playing from one month on your bass?
I'sure there are a few lurkers keen to get some feedback....l
