You might need to trim some of the silk wrap off but not much. If your bass is a string through body I don't think it'll work, but top loading you'll be fine. By the way I had bought a regular 4 string set and then bought the other 2 strings seperate. Not sure if they make a full 6 string set. |

I've never used them, though, so I can't comment on them.

Or, you can buy a 4 string GHS set, and add a C and a B string singly. |
