Cool, but what's up with the link to an Ebay auction for "SPALT Apex Hybrid Q727 S Baritone 7 String Electric Guitar #16639"?

Based on a few visual cues, that's an early 2000's bass, but very clean for the age.

I could find no obvious flaws....Over 1000 dollars cheaper than what I see currently for sale. If it were fretless 4 string I might have had to flex the amex!

I know it's been posted before but I can't seem to find it...

What are the stock strings on a Roscoe 5er? I know it's a custom set of D'Addario nickels with a .125 low B but that's all I remember.

Length?

 

[Freddels]

Long scale.

 

[Gard]

Long scale.

SUPER Long Scale.

If you're using the regular Long Scale D'Addarios, the E and B strings can come up a bit "short".

 

[Dave W]

Thanks gentlemen. I thought I remembered something about super long scale, but going by measurements from BassStringsOnline I was getting long scale.

 

[Freddels]

I don't remember ever buying super long scale when I had my SKB3006.

From what I remember, it was a hit and miss situation with the D'Addario long scales working or not working. A lot of folks, including me, never had a long scale set that didn't work - a lot folks ended up with the ones where the taper was before the nut.

with the standard length D'addario strings, they changed the wrap length around '12/'13 i believe from 36.25" to either 37.25 or 37.5"
when i had my century i bought a few sets of standard length D'addarios and they all cleared the nut by about 1/2". so if the B & E fell short, it was probably before they made the change, and if it was after, people could have gotten some NOS sets with the old wrap length.

You've sparked a memory though I thought it was the reverse of what you said - that it changed from the longer to the shorter, not shorter to longer? Reason I say that, Bass Strings Online currently has long scales listed as 36.25" from ball to taper and super longs as 38".

I hit them up and the SN is 4232.

 

[ChefKen]

Someone should snap it up....Played and sounded amazing thru a Mp120 combo

D'Addario long scales are now wound to 37".

Excellent, thank you!
