D'Addario XL Chromes :-(

Bought a set for my Lakland 55-94 in super long scale...only to discover that they DO NOT FIT into the string hole on my bridge!!!!

I've never had this happen before...has anyone had an experience like this?

Sometimes you have to remove the silks from the ball end of the strings... or widen the holes slightly at the bridge.

Hopefully both sting and bridge makers will notice this and find a mutually rewarding solution for bass players going forward.
