You don't want to run that set through the body since the taper would not be long enough. I've used the XL sets on my 55-94 and JOBO5 and they work great, just string them through the bridge.

Through-body is a placebo anyway, IMO.

Yeah it might be a placebo, but then why do so many bass builders use the string thru, sometimes only on the B string, if it's just a placebo...
I love Sadowsky strings, too.

Its marketing. The only time it helps is if you have a very low saddle height ... but even then a shim works just as well.

I thought it was a red herring ... or a chimera, perhaps.
