Higher tension short scale strings?

I got mine for 68 bucks. It was the best deal I could find.

Also, make sure your TIs will be long enough since 32” is technically medium scale. Hopefully they’ll fit.

Yes, I confirmed that they are long enough. They are actually one of the longer short scale strings out there.

I put the TI Jazz Rounds on my 32" this evening. They feel and sound wonderful!

I actually think the TI jazz flat would be on my fretless next. It would be pretty incredible

Putting TI Jazz flats on my Cutlass this weekend. I’m stoked.

It’s on my Caprice bass now and I couldn’t be happier, and I’m not a flats player but like mentioned earlier these TI jazz flats are in a league of their own.

I hear you, Al. I think they’ll sing on the Cutlass.:+1:

Update: My verdict on the TI Jazz Rounds after playing them for a few weeks is they are Spectacular! These paired with my Lairat Sirya are a match made in heaven. I am going to order a set for my 32" headless 5 string next. I may have found my go to string.

They are my go-to strings as well. Those, or perhaps the DR Pure Blues - they are a bit “dirtier” :smile:

I love TI flats on my 54P. But the Jazz Rounds are spectacular to me as well. I have them on my Ray34 and they are sublime.

I was able to snag a set of long scale rounds on Amazon for $59. They only had one left at that price.
I was looking for a short scale 5 string set and can’t seem to find them. Do they not do more than a set of 4 in short scale rounds?

For TI Jazz Rounds fans, has anyone used the JR364 Super Long Scale version on a 34”?

I’m thinking about getting some for the heavier E string, but I just want to see if anyone else has tried them and they would work.

I even use the “normal” long scale versions on a 35’‘. For instance, I have the JR345 on a 35’’ 5-string and have no issues with the B string :smile:

So, you’re going the other way: “shorter” string set on a longer scale.

Just wondering if the “Super Long Scale” 36” TI Jazz Rounds would pose any problems going on a 34”.

You probably have to cut off most of the silk and wind the actual string around the tuners, but other than that, I don’t think there will be an issue.

I figured that might be the case. I’ll give it a try. :+1:
