I would first double check that the short scale set (that has a 32.75" winding length) is long enough for the thru-body Mustang. You might need the medium scale set.
That aside, the Precision Flats are flexible enough that you shouldn't have a problem with a thru-body bridge. Personally I advise against it, but we have a huge number of players that do this will no ill effects.
To figure this out, I'm going to need you to take a couple measurements. I need the distance from the outside of the ball end (on the string currently installed) to the nut, and then from the ball end to the E tuning post. Ideally, the winding length of our Precision Flats short scale set (which is 32.75") should fall between those two measurements. Meaning, the tapering of the string should start after the nut, but before you get to the tuning post.
All of our short scale sets are a lower tension (than the standard 34" scale) but I don't feel they're floppy in terms of stiffness.
Hello GHS
The SHORT SCALE PRECISION FLATS™Sound and Fell Great. I have a Hofner Shorty Bass ( 2020 model ) They Fit Perfect on the Hofner Shorty Bass. THe Tuner end of string will go through the Tuner Hole, Which is a big problem with other bass strings I have tried. The Labella strings they Fit great on the violin bass However They will not Fit on The Hofner shorty bass. SHORT SCALE PRECISION FLAT are Just Great and solved the problem. The reason I wrote This Post was because I could not find any information one what strings Work on the Hofner Shorty Bass.
Thank You GHS
Hi, Will these flats work on a Harley Benton shorty P Bass? Ball end to nut measures 31 1/2 inch (31.5). From the Ball end to the beginning of the E tuning post is 33 and 1/8 inch. Sounds like it falls within the 32.75 winding length but I would like to be sure before purchasing them. Thanks.
