hey guys. i'm on a process of building a custom bass. i am planning on 34' string thru body or 35' string thru body.

which brand can have enough length for the 34' string thru and 35 string thru set up? it can be an extra long scale set?

thank you very much!

Warwick. Quite cheep, long lasting, extra long scale

I use them on all my basses (3 34 scales basses and a 35 scale bass), they also look quite interesting to as the end of the string is designed so it looks like it's unwinding, it make sme giggle when people ocme up to me and ask if they're unwinding

That's just a tapered-end string. Lots of fun for that reason, people come up in a panic.
