ihocky2 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Might get a quicker answer by emailing La Bella. I don't play bass yet, so that is the best help I can offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) I could take a look at my bass for you when I get home. It's a ~30" scale with short scale strings. I'm not sure if your strings will have the same length of winding, but it might be helpful. Edited June 19, 2009 by Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Measured 2 strings off a 30" scale bass. Got 31.5" between ball and where full thickness wind ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
