Ok so what's the deal with strings made for a Short Scale bass. Why can't you put regular length strings on and cut 'em off? Looking at the strings on the Jag I can see there is a step down on the A string but no difference on any of the others most notably the E string. So why does it matter? I...

After further review... my premise is correct - heavier strings more tension, lighter strings less tension.

Ok the physics of this aren't making sense to me: Picture this... put your D string in the E position and try to tune it to E, I'm guessing it can't even be done it be so loose - Conversely put the E string in the D string position and tune it to D (not low D for all you smart aleck's out there)...

Piggybacking on this ? - Anyone know what gauge they are and would you want or go bigger or smaller? If I remember right I saw SS sets with a 105 E string I also saw 90. It seems to me the smaller gauge would make sense especially on a Short scale - but I'm not a bass player so enlighten me please.

Nice progress Esd. and I'm with you the white is the way to go!!! Tell the wife she gets the inlay but you get the white :D

Well I just have to say sbassman & Mcfly - you have great taste Bam! :)

By the way looking at the color in the picture - it looks a lot lighter red than it really is. In real life it's more of a really nice wine red color.

Ok so I'm a 51 year old guitar player who just got his first bass. I knew I wanted a light easier to play bass. I love this thing! Definitely a guitar players bass. So... here's what happened when I got mine. Ordered it from Cascio Interstate Music $159 - best price I could find. Got it quick...
