Short scale, tapewound, about standard gauge strings?

Sign in to disble this ad
Do they even make these?? I just ordered a Harmony h22 reissue and want to get some tapewounds, but its a short scale bass. And since most tapewounds are higher gauges, (my ghs tapes barely fit in the nut on my precision) I want to find a set that is close to standard gauge. If there is anything out there please show me!

Status Graphite makes short scale tapewounds in standard gauges (Both 40-100 and 45-105). Never tried them myself, but I have heard good reviews. They are available on their website.

I recently cut down a set of standard length D'Addario tapewounds for my short scale Gibson SG bass and I absolutely LOVE them. Great feel and tone. These also come in short scale. Gauge is 50-105.

Personally, I recommend the D'Addarios. Good luck
