Viola Bass

Recommended Posts

This bass has a 30.5" scale which is closest to the 30" short scale. However, due to the space between string suspension and bridge, some 30" strings might be too short to reach the nut with full winding diameter. So perhaps medium scale strings could be required, but otherwise the winding should be tapered before the strings hit the machine heads.

 

I hope that some members experienced with the Epiphone Viola Bass will chime in here. Otherwise I suggest asking a competent retailer.

 

Finding the right string length can be dodgy. My Gibson SG 30.5" Basses call for 30" short scale strings, my 30" Fender Mustang Bass needs 32" medium scale strings of most brands... [rolleyes]
