Slinkys Scale

[naruki]

How long are Slinkys? Can the B-string fit on a Dingwall?

Depends. What's a Dingwall?

EB make Super Long Bass strings (2850) but I'm not sure of the scale length of the B on a Dingwall.

Here what's on the EB site.

Super Long Scale Slinky Bass Sets are round-wound for maximum clarity and serious punch.These are longer to fit 35"+ scale basses. Each bass string is manufactured with the finest and freshest raw materials in the beautiful Coachella Valley of Southern California. The list of endorsers for Ernie Ball Slinky bass strings reads like a who's who of top selling artists. Gauges .045 .065 .085 .105 .130

I hope that helps

The low B is about 37 to 38 inches.

Haha, yes. The G is about 32''. Fanned-fret system. I'm a slinkys guy, which is why I don't know if I should get a Dingwall.
