String lengths for ESP Ltd B1004MS?

[R Cadd]

Did a quick search on here but couldn't find anything. Looking for a new set of strings for my ESP Ltd B1004MS (multi-scale 4 string). Particularly interested in DR Pure Blues or similar. Would those be long enough, especially the E string?

First thing first... Measure the distance on the bass from where the E string ball end is seated to where it clears the nut. That would be the minimum winding length (ball end to taper) you would need.

DR Pure Blues "long scale" is 37.75" in winding length, so as long as the above measurement is less than 37.75", you'll be fine.

Thanks Michael...of course, only minutes after posting this, I found a chart on line that lists winding lengths by brand..

So, are you saying the Pure Blues have worked out okay for you?

Yeah, the Pure Blues were a perfect fit. I have them on my others already, but was unsure about the fit on a multi-scale bass.
