Strings for Gecko 5

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a Gecko bass, string through so I need the super long scale strings. I've been using D'Addarios for years but they are tapered which sits the B string in the nut after the first taper. In effect, the string is closer to the fretboard and rattles. Can anyone recommend a super long scale, non tapered round wound?

How long exactly? What scale D'Addarios do you have?

DR should work fine, they have 37" of winding.

Ken Smith Extra Longs have 40" of winding.
