Like yamaha or the rogue models?** A: They did not fit my Squire Base VI which is a short scale bass but it really needs long scale strings because of the crazy tremolo system it has. The high b and and high e were too short. In theory it should fit a "normal" (in big quotes) 30 inch short scale 6 bass??? **Q: Why are my strings loose I put it in drop a but it still to loose?** A: Depends on your guitar’s neck length. Drop A would require a baritone guitar with a minimum 27” neck to get decent tension in the lower tunings. **Q: how many inches long are the strings?** A: I measured the Low E in this pack and it measured at 39". Thank you for your interest! Y2PLAY Stores - 800-695-4808. **Q: can i install it in my hh stratocaster, for drop a tuning?** A: Bear in mind that you will need to make some alterations to the nut to accommodate the larger gauge of string. Furthermore, these strings are made for Baritone scaled necks. If your neck is not a minimum of 27" inches in length, you may have tension issues using these strings, and they may exist even after a professional setup. I suggest that you buy a seven string set if all you are doing is drop tunings on a standard scale neck. Those string sets are made for standard scale necks. It's up to you, though. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Review *by K***N on 10 September 2022* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***O on 21 December 2018* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***D on 24 November 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - Ernie Ball 6-String Baritone Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 13-72 Gauge (P02839) - Ernie Ball Mammoth Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 12-62 Gauge (P02214) - Ernie Ball 7-String Skinny Top Heavy Bottom Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 10-62 Gauge (P02615) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/209172066-ernieball-slinky-6-string-w-small-ball-end-29-5](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/209172066-ernieball-slinky-6-string-w-small-ball-end-29-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
