Short scale bass strings????

Sign in to disble this ad
So I just bought a short scale bass and I want new strings but I'm not sure if you can buy normal strings for the bass... I don't want to like damage it in anyway, but there really isn't a variety of short scale bass strings, just a bunch of generic average guage ones, atleast from what I've seen.
