hi.
I made some search, but found nothing - please feel free to redirect me.

I'm planning to get a set from these strings for my (future) fretless.
are they long enough for 35", top-loaded?

I checked, and I think Roto blackies are just long enough. but now I'd like to try another brand.

thanks in advance.

Yup, use them on my Rob Allen MB-2, which has a 35 scale.

...La Bella makes the xtra long version both for 4 and 5 stringers - Rob has them on his www (www.roballenguitars.com - "store")

Thank you, I just saw them on RobAllen's site before my post, but I want to try the stock strings if possible. if not, maybe I'll give a try to the extralongs, but it's easier to me, if I don't have to use special strings.
I know, RAs are tru-body, so I hope, there's a chance for me to use normal lenght strings top-loaded.
