Half scale bass strings? new

Hey guys,

I've got a Greg Bennett half scale mini bass and need to get some new strings.

The stock strings are made for the scale size and have the fabric wrapped tops so I can string it correctly.

Any idea where I can get new ones?

If you can't find off the shelf replacements get in touch with Newtone Strings. Not only are they happy to make strings to your specification, they might already have made sets for other owners.

Happy hunting, and good luck.

In my herd, I have a Vox Panther loaded up with Rotosound rounds. I credit the set to bringing out an excellent tone in a bass slathered with polyester... Anyway, as I recall it's the "Swing 66" set. Though the bridge reach is quite short, I didn't have to trim back the fibres at either end, unlike the previous D'Addario set (which may've changed since).
