DR Coated Strings Scale Length?

Sign in to disble this ad
Anyone know how long these things are? I have been searching the net for over an hour and can't seem to find how long they are. Thier homepage is useless and anywhere else doesn't say a thing.

I need what would be long scale plus or extra long scale. I usually use GHS Boomers and the set I get of long scale plus fits 34" to 36" and I wanna say with my strings going through bass it makes it 36".

Anyone have any knowledge on this???

I don't have my set on me right now, but I THINK it will reach a 36 if it's not string thru.

I think.

I think they come in one length - very long. I searched for the lengths too. I just ordered and fitted a set of DR Black Beauties to my 35" scale Cirrus, and they were plenty long enough. I think you'll be fine for 36"..

Yes they should handle that fine, I use them on my fan fret builds which are 36"-32". I have one bass that has through body stringing and I can't use them through body on the lowest 3 strings but it is a 36 scale though. I have found them to be about the same length as DR Long Necks.
Good luck,
Dirk

They are just really long. I used some on a 35 string through with ease.
