String length for a 35 1/2" scale

slampert · #1 11-22-2006, 01:22 PM

I just picked up a new Carvin XB75P with a 35 1/2" scale and this is my first bass with a scale larger than 34" (I'm now a convert to the larger scale incidentally!

) My question is for this scale am I going to have to move into the "Super Extra Mega Long Plus" strings or can I still go with the typical Long Scale strings I use on my 34" scale bass? I'm wondering how limited my choices are going to be for strings on this thing.

Thanks!

Ok I read through the FAQ and I think it answered my questions so nevermind.

Its 35 1/4" scale too -- I just noticed I wrote 35 1/2"... doh!
