SHORT SCALE PRECISION FLATS™ SETS BASS STRINGS




Long revered as the "Sound of Chocolate," Precision Flats™ sound and feel like rock and roll history! Stainless steel ribbon wire is wound over a hex core, and polished to a velvety smooth finish. This makes a string that is deep and percussive, with a bit of throat on the attack. The top end is pulled back too, with a smoothness to the notes as you climb the fretboard. You'll sit in the mix with a deep authority, ready to anchor the band all night.

Why Should You Play Precision Flats?

  • You want to sit low in the mix, and anchor the groove
  • You know there's magic with a Fender P-Bass and flats!
  • You want that authentic vintage sound and feel

I have a DanElectro Red Hot Longhorn bass, and just purchased a set of D'Addario ECB81S short scale chromes (45-100) and found that the ball end and the tuner end on the E and A strings was too big to go through the bridge/tuning peg. What is the diameter of these strings next to the ball end and above the taper which goes into the tuner?

Would these work on a Fender Kingman Bass?

Hi there. Would these strings fit a Gibson SG bass, with a short scale length of 30.5 inches?

deb v.

Hi Paul, yes this set will fit a Gibson SG short scale.

Hi, I have a Harley Benton (Mustang style) bass that officially has a scale of 30". It's not a through-body, so the distance from end of bridge to nut is 31". The distance from end of bridge to the tuner of the E string is roughly 33".

I see your winding length is 32.75". This should work, right? Long enough from bridge end to saddle, short enough to cut beyond the winding. Could you please confirm? Thank you.

Jonathan Moody

Hi Oliver, you are correct. The 32.75" winding length of the short scale Precision Flats should work very well with the measurements you provided off the Harley Benton bass. 

Oliver K.

Thank you. :)

Hi. Looking to put these on an Ibanez Mikro bass.  Will they work?

Jonathan Moody

Hi David, they should work. We have another "micro" bass in the office with the same scale length as the Ibanez Mikro, and our short scale sets will fit. It's very close! But they'll work.
