Ernie Ball 6-String Short Scale Bass Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 20w-90 Gauge (P02837)

Nice on the fingers, nice on the ears. I got these as an experiment just to see what it was like, and had to file down my guitar on the string channels on head so I could use these strings. Took less than fifteen minutes with a 1/16 inch round file I found at home depot for $7. Make sure you clean the channel after widening.I am currently keeping my guitar tuned to G standard (G C F A# D G) and it's really fun playing around in such a low register. I haven't yet figured out what the lowest note I can play (while sounding good), but it goes LOOOOOOW. These chunky MFers are gonna give you every bit of low end you want, but if you don't want to alter your guitar, these strings will not be for you.Another thing to keep in mind is that these will very rigidly lock you into a low register, since tuning these too high would absolutely destroy the neck of your guitar. I would suggest putting these on your second guitar, and keep your daily player with your more typical strings.Know what you're getting into going in and these strings will treat you quite nicely.

So I bought these for my Schecter Hellcat VI. I had searched for the stock strings with no luck. LaBella makes a set specifically for the Hellcat and they're very nice, but at ≈$40 per set they're a bit pricey.These Ernie Ball stings are nice. The tension is better and tone are better than the stock strings were. My only issue is that the low E string did not have a tapered end and the string almost does not fit through the hole on the tuning peg. They work without needing to make any modifications, they could just be a bit better.

Several reviews state that these strings are not long enough for Squire and Fender Bass VI.I have used these strings on both models with no issue at all. They are definitely long enough and have length to spare for these guitars. The price is right and as alwaysyou can't beat Ernie Ball quality and sound. You won't regret this purchase.

A lot of the negative reviews seem to be people mistakenly buying these as cheap replacement strings for their Squier Bass VIs. That’s not what they’re for — your silly vibrato ruins everything.On a Danelectro Baritone/Bass VI, they are absolute perfection. Perfect E-e feel and intonation with no fuss. Awesome for tic-tac. I’m not an Ernie Ball guy for guitars, but you can’t beat these for Bass VI.And while we’re on the subject, the Danelectro version of the Bass VI beats the snot out of the Squier and Fender models. For good reason too: they invented the instrument, while Fender just copied it and added a useless vibrato. Don’t spend $400 making the Squier playable!

Work good so far!

These strings will fit onto a fender/squier bass vi with room to spare.

Product was as described, fairly priced and quick shipping.

Take the Wallace review with a grain of salt, he seems more interested in validating himself and listing off all his gear than providing a useful review.Though meant for a baritone guitar, these work great on a shorter scale guitar tuned to drop A.You'll need to take your axe down to a guitar tech to have the nut replaced or shimmed (raised by a piece of wood under nut) and also filed in order to take these. On top of that you'll need to tweak the truss rod and bridge. If you've got a good shop in town, it's no big deal. So $25-50 bucks just so you can have your guitar take a set of strings like these or the thickest DR DDT.After stringing these up I plucked the 6th string and it rang load, resonated through the guitar and made me smile as the string resonated in my own chest. Having the 72 is the big difference here, It holds tension better at drop A than say a 65.These can be a bit of a work out as far as playing, but that should go without saying... get used to it.TL;DR I can't provide info for use on a baritone, but if you have a 24.75 scale guitar that you want to dedicate to drop A or B standard, these are spectacular sounding. You'll need to modify your guitar in such a way that keeps you stuck with huge strings unless you want to modify again to get back to standard. Worth it, if you're certain that's where you want to be tuned or you have several guitars and want to dedicate one to this tuning.

The main reason that I let a review is that you can read everywhere on Internet that this set won't fit a Bass VI because some of the strings are too short. Maybe it was right before and since then EB have updated this set.All i can say for sure is that I just installed this set on my Bass VI and it fits.Before I had the Fender 24-100 in E Standard and I know from previous test that the 90 is barely enough in tension but for F Standard it seems ok.

Fit the guitarTuned them to BSO MUCH FUN!!!!

Le ho usate sul basso tradizionale "allargando" le palline piccole facendo passare la corda in un dado appena piu' grande. Ho pertanto a disposizione sezioni altrimenti introvabili su corde da basso. Dopo vari esperimenti ho comunque concluso che e' impraticabile scendere sotto una corda da .20. L' ideale e' partire da una .32 con accordatura in C ma su certi bassi a scala corta e con cabinet dal suono medioso e morbido puo' andare anche una .20,
