Alice Bass Strings

Today I got my set of Alice bass strings, 105-85-65-45. They were packed in individual sealed plastic sleeves, similar to every other kind of string. The diameters are all within 0.001" of spec. The lengths are as follows:

  • E: 37-1/2" ball to leader, 42-1/2" overall
  • A: 37-1/8" ball to leader, 44-1/2" overall
  • D: 46" overall
  • G: 48" overall

This should fit almost all instruments. The strings are bright and shiny. So far, so good.

The strings went on with no problems, and seem ok unplugged - no buzzing or dead ones.

To be continued ...


Getting back in the saddle - I wrote the PHP code for the sidebar navigation, as nothing very good seems to exist in the WordPress world.

The main navigation node at the upper-right shows the path to where you're at with a breadcrumb trail, the page you're on, and any siblings and children. It also incorporates the Blog.
