Long enough strings for a 35" 4string

Sign in to disble this ad
I have recently ran into this dilemma after acquiring my esp f4-e. I know that D' Addario has the super long scale strings but they seem almost impossible to find. I was reading around and I kind of come to the conclusion of just buying a 5 string set and just have an extra b string just floating around. Then after thinking of that theory, i had also realized that ill be spending more money for that extra string that i will never use. So i came seeking some help to see if anyone knows of any other brands that i'm over looking.

DR and Dunlop both have about 38" of winding, I've used both on string through 35" scales.

Ken Smith Stainless Steel Strings have the 38" winding too. D'Addario super long strings .125 and above on the link below. I use a .125 with great success for my B string.

Here is a link to juststrings.com - awesome people to work with and they sell single bass guitar strings.

I had the exact same problem with my ESP TA-600. DR, D'Addario Super Longs, and Boomers all work. Ernie Ball may work to.

D' Addario strings are fine, I use them on my Dean Metalman 2A V (34'' scale) and usually have to cut a few inches off them.
