What length of TI jazz flats for a Schecter Banshee

[Mario Ed]

I'm looking at picking up a Schecter Banshee soon and would like to use TI jazz flats. Does anybody know whether I'd need short scale or 34" scale to string through the body?
Thanks!

Short scale TI Flats are designed for 32" scale. As far as I can tell the Banshee is 30".

Thru-body on a 30" scale... The TI Jazz Flats "short scale" JF324 are 35.5" in winding length (ball end to taper/silk), which should be plenty long enough.

Thanks for the information. I thought it would need the short scale but as expensive as TI jazz flats are I didn't want to order the wrong length.

The TI Jazz Flats "short scale" JF324 fit my 30" scale Reverend Sentinel perfectly strung through the body.

I have an 30.5'' bass and have been wrapping regular lenght flatwounds on the headstock without any problem for over 10 years. I cut them 3-4 fingers away from the tuner. Metal will touch the tuners instead of silk wrapping ofcourse, not hard to bend the E string and doesn't have tuning stability issues.
I also made a post about it a few years back, asking peoples opinions about it, Intonation, stability, breakage etc. Nobody said they have problems Some string packs have warnings like braeak the string in 90 degree angle before cutting to avoid unwrapping etc. Nobody cared those eighter Maybe I'm just lucky.

Here's an update, I got a Schecter Banshee at the end of August and ordered some TI jazz flats short scale that arrived over the weekend. They are a perfect fit for doing a string through the body installation. Really liking the Banshee.

When I got my Banshee a few months ago, the first thing I did was order TI Flats and strung them through the body. Perfect fit.
