32" scale ABG flatwound strings?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello!
I'm the owner of a Michael Kelly 32" 5 string Acoustic Bass Guitar that currently needs strings!

I'm taking it to the shop for a set up, because it needs a fret dress immediately and action adjustments.

Does someone know were can I get 32" scale 5 string bass strings?

I'm gonna tune it EADGC...b string is WAY too floppy on the 32" scale.

I was thinking of going with flatwounds...or if available some tapewounds....

I found some 32" flatwounds...but would like to see other options...maybe some phosphore bronze ones?

Check at www.juststrings.com. You may need to email them. I know they have a 4 strings set of Chromes for 32 inch scale basses that would work, but I do not know if they have a C in that scale you could nuy extra. You might could use a regular 34 inch scale one, providing that you could stick a little more of the string in the body at the bridge end before sticking the pin back in.
Another route....email Michael Kelly and see what they would suggest.

I use D'Addario Chromes on my 32" Fender ABG. Check them out.

I've emailed Michael Kelly with absolutely NO answers!
I think I will go for the Chromes...even though the high C string is gonna be standard 34 length and the bridge is of a pinless design...so I will just wind it and cut the excess...
