The Thomastik JF324 4-String Bass Guitar Strings are constructed from a highly pliable steel core which is wrapped with a silk inlay. The outer winding is a true ribbon flatwound constructed of a special nickel alloy. The result is an incredible depth of tone and an enhanced fundamental which is unavailable from any other flatwound bass string.
The main features of the Thomastik JF324 4-String Bass Guitar Strings include:
I bought these strings for a bass with a 30 inch scale, but was unable to use them as they were too floppy. After some research I discovered that although the manufacturers label them as “Short scale” they are designed for a scale of 32 inches which most makers and users would describe as Medium. The strings look and feel great and I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to use them as other reviews have praised the sound and feel. I would have preferred not to rate the sound as I haven’t heard the strings but had to enter a score to complete the review.
It would be useful if the information described the actual scale length the strings are designed for.
