    Beefy Slinky Bass 65,80,100,130

    Thanks for the detailed info! I have a Gretsch Junior Jet that is currently without strings due to some other work I'm doing on it, so I think I'll see if these fit and how things go in D standard and go from there. If they're too long to seem reasonable, I'll put them on my spare full...

    My hand washing song.What's yours?

    A little Warren Zevon to darken your day. Just look in the mirror, sing right through "won't work now" and you've washed your hands long enough.
