Gibson Ripper flats question.

[xXxTWO FACExXx]

I just got a set of Rotosound 77 jazz bass flatwound strings for my Ripper. Is it alright if I string it through the body or will I have problems?

The only problem will be if the string is not long enough. My Rippers are fitted with extra long scale strings to allow for the extra length. I have one with D'addario chromes, and one with Labella deep talkin'

You typically need the extra longs to string through the body, although I didn't know this when I bought normal Chromes for my ATK, said screw it and did it anyways and I haven't had a problem.
