I bought these strings for a 30″ short scale bass, and had 3 problems.

1) The E string was too long for my bass, and had to be shortened at the bridge end.

2)The strings were too large for the nut on the guitar, and I had to have a new one made.

3)The E string is too floppy for this scale. Really floppy. This same gauge might be ok on a 34″ scale, but not for a 30″ scale.

The A,D, and G strings worked ok lengthwise. They weren’t too floppy either.

If you have a short scale bass, pass on these.

I have played Bass for 50 years. I own an Upright, two 5 five strings, an 60′s Epiphone Rivioli and a Cort Acoustic Electric. I ordered a set of these strings for my Cort and got a long scale set by mistake. I kept them and put them on the Rivioli. They made the old workhorse sound like new.

I reordered a short scale set for the Cort and they make it sound amazing. These are the best bass strings I have ever used.

I bought a set of these Rotosound tapewounds a while back for an old shortscale Fender I have, and just couldn’t be happier with the sound, the feel and the playability of these strings. None of the fit or tension problems reported by the previous reviewer.

I’ll be putting this type of Rotosound on my other basses the next time they need stringing, or maybe even before they really need it.

At least two of my bass-player buddies have changed to these Rotosounds after trying them out on my bass. You won’t get much higher praise from a musician than that.

I recently bought a 2009 Gibson SG bass (a model that has a pretty short scale neck), and I was looking for a good set of strings to go on the bass. I tried these and love them. Very unique sound and easy to play on. The tone is deep and subtle, not too overpowering in a mix– a very good thing when playing in a band. The reviewer who complained that these strings did not work well on his short neck bass is probably a novice. Yeah, you will need to clip the ends of the strings, just like you would with any set of strings. With these strings, I think I’ve found the perfect match for my SG bass.
