Bass length

[DBFIU]

I dont know what 'scale' my bass is. I want to buy these strings.

It says they are 34" (long).

Would they fit this bass?

It says it is a 34" bass, but does not say "long" scale?

Thanks

They will fit.

Long scale usually means 34". The strings will be longer though, the instrument's scale is measured from bridge to nut but then you need some extra length so the string can reach all the way to the tuners.

Scale Length is only the measurement between the Nut and the Saddle. You need to look at the overall winding length of the string and then the distance between the Ball End and the Nut.

Rotosounds are 37" Ball to Silk. Should fit that instrument as long as it is not a string thru-body. (pull the strings through the back of the instrument rather than thread through the bridge).

Pretty much all strings labeled as "Long Scale" will fit that instrument.

The red silks of the rotosounds will look nice on that!

The very Musicians' Friend link you provided indicates that the Rogue is 34" scale. And +1 to using www.bassstringsonline.com. That guy is awesome.
