Extra long scale flatwound

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a Washburn AB95 five string and was looking to put flatwounds on it. It's a 35" scale, but I'll need longer; there is a lot of string length between the bridge and the tail piece. I'll probably need something that would fit a 36" or larger. Suggestions. I can't seem to find definitive answers. Thanks.

Both TI Jazz Flats and GHS Precision flats come in extra long scale and will fit your bass.
Five string sets in both low B and high C

I got a set of the Thomastik "super long scale" nickel flats and think they're great! Little pricey though...
