I'm thinking of picking up one of the new Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Bass Specials...nice looking and sounding instruments. Will I be limited in string choice given that this is a 32" scale bass?

Strings For 32" Scale

That all depends on where you look!
There are literally a ton of options for "Medium Scale" you just may not have as wide a variety of gauge selection.
However, really the only string that NEEDS to be medium scale is the E string, from there you can put on any Long Scale string really...
But you can get NPS Rounds / Stainless Rounds / Flats / Pressurewound / Half-Rounds. You will be fine! Enjoy that new bass!

Thanks for the reply. Looks as though I have more options than I thought. I might give the GHS Pressurewounds a try....
Good choice. There are a bunch of threads covering the Pressurewounds.
Overall smooth punchy tone. Reduced fingernoise, great feel and flexibility in both playability and tone!
