Short Scale Strings

[Bio-Bassist]

So i've been looking up different strings for short scale basses, such as the Fender VI and well i found that some of them say are tuned B-b aka baritone made by Ernie Ball, what about E-e, if so what brands would the E-e tuning be? Just looking for some clarification.

unless it's specified that they're for baritone tuning, they're for bass tuning. d'addario makes a couple sets. go play around at juststrings.com and see what you can find.

so would they be in E-e? but yea, i am aiming to get a custom Bass VI made by Warmoth, and idk if ernie ball or d'addario are better

 

[JimmyM]

i think d'addario and ernie ball are close enough to be pretty much interchangeable.
