Hi..
This is probably totally noob, but I'm posting it anyway.
The other day I was restringing my bass (An MTD Heir 5). I've been using Ashdown Wide boys for this bass for a long time mostly because they're really cheap here, and I dont use it that much. Anyway this time I decided to try the Rotosound Swingbass66 strings. I've heard a lot of good things about them.. so i start restringing, and when I'm done, the winding(cloth thingy) on the strings are either on or below the nut on all but the D string...? it says "long scale" on the package, dammit... What am I doing wrong here?

| | | | i think "long-scale" usually means 34" scale basses. i think your mtd is 35", so you'd need something like extra long or something. this is the nomenclature for d'addario strings at least. perhaps it may be similar with other brands as well?
